Lancashire / John and James Mason, Skelmersdale
« on: Thursday 11 November 04 19:09 GMT (UK)  »
Hello folks,
I am trying to solve a bit of a family mystery and if anyone could help, I would be very grateful.
My grandfather was born in Skelmersdale in 1878.
His parents were married, Ellen, his mum, was the daughter of Hugh Abel of Neston, Cheshire.  His dad was stated to be John Mason of Lancashire.
By the 1891 Census he was living with his grandparents in Oldham.  His mother was down as the daughter of the house, my grandfather was called James Abel, son of Hugh. No mention of John, the father. Is there a sleuth out there who could throw some light on this?
Thankshttp://

Cumberland Lookup Requests / Kennedys of Stapleton
« on: Sunday 31 October 04 16:41 GMT (UK)  »
I  am descended from Simon and Mary Kennedy of Stapleton.  Simon must have been born around  1820, he was a shoemaker and lived in Longrigg.
Mary was born Armstrong in Northumberland.
They had at least two sons, John, born 1843 and Thomas.  John married a Mary Gillespy, also from Stapleton.
If anyone has any further information on these families I would be extremely grateful,
Thanks

I would be thrilled to learn more about these two ancestors,

Hi folks,
Would love to hear from anyone chasing the above families. Mine lived in Newhall or thereabouts and the men were all miners. Have quite a bit of info to swap.

Cheshire / Stazika family from Crewe

Hi,
I am trying to find out more about my great aunt Eliza.  I visited her in her home in  Crewe in the early 1950's.  She was then a widow but her married name was Stazicka.  I believe her husband had been a Sanitary Inspector in Crewe.

Hi folks,
Please could anyone help by telling me more about an ancestor of mine, Hugh Abel.  In 1881 he was living in Oldham but it seems he was born in Neston, Cheshire about 1837.  I cannot find Neston.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
