Hi again. Thank you. The one born in 1853 and the one born in 1856 both had fathers named John! The William Walsh I am looking at died in 1937. R.

Lancashire / Roman Catholic Records
« on: Saturday 09 August 25 18:42 BST (UK) »
Hi all.
I am looking for the father of William Walsh, who was born in Wigan, Lancs. On his census records between 1891-1921, his date of birth varies between 1853, 1855, 1856 etc. On GRO there are possibilities for each of these dates.
The family are Roman Catholic, and I have been unable to access either baptism records or marriage records.
William married Ann Latchford in Wigan Church/Registry Office in 1890. They had children, Mary Ellen, Thomas and William. Ann had a son, James, before she was married.
As the 1921 census is the most recent and, perhaps, more likely to be correct, I have downloaded the b/c for 1853, which states that the father is John and the mother is Mary, nee Hilton.
Apart from buying the marriage certificate, how else can I confirm his father? R.

Hi Ian
Were your family connected to the Salvation Army in any way? My parents were officers and based in either Cleckheaton or Farnworth when I was born at the Crossley in 1947. I understood it to be
'the place' where many Salvation Army mothers went to give birth. R.

Thank you. Poor Ethel didn't have much luck with husbands, did she? Regards. R.

Hi again.
I have spoken to the person, and yes, she would like to learn about George. I did take a quick look a couple of days ago and think he may have died in a mining accident. I would be grateful if that could be clarified. Thank you. R.

Hi, I honestly don't know at the moment. I will ask the person and see what she says. Many thanks. R.
