Thanks for that. I'm going to renew my Ancestry membership when I've finished taking holidays away -a bit a of a fallow period for research.

If I'm right both John Formbys were blacksmiths: is that shown on the certificate? Any address given?
Is there anything about Jane's father: I think she came from Lathom.

Best wishes,

Geoffrey.

PS: What I meant was my soon-to-be Son-in-law's ancestors! I think their fathers were both called John.

Hello

Do you have family details from John & Jane's 1846 marriage, please? These are my (soon-to-be) ancestors.

Thanks,

Geoffrey  :)

I don't think I can add any certain information, but my ggg-gm Mary Thompson 1820-82 was dr & granddr to 2 George Thompsons who were successive schoolmasters at Mosbrough (Eckington); her maternal grandmother was Ann Glossop 1761-1834, dr of Peter Glossop, linen weaver of Attercliffe. I can't find Peter's baptism, nor that of the younger George.

Ann dr of Jas & Arabella Lockwood b 18/10/1825, bap Sheff P Ch 27/11/25.
Jas (1796-1834) was brother of Wm Lockwood (1781-1851)
Wm married Hannah Hunter (1781-1854) at Rotherham P Ch 7/7/1799.
Hannah dr of John Hunter & Hannah Stacey died aged 2.
I probably ought to see more original documents before I can say we've really got to the bottom of it all.

Thanks, Debbie.

At first when I saw that her father's name was left blank, I thought Ann must be some waif we hadn't picked up on the baptism registers; but no: on the '41 Ann daughter of James is with her widowed mother Arabella in Duke St (No 56 according to a trade directory). James died in '34 & Arabella in '45, so she would be given away by her uncle Wm, husband of my gggg-gm Hannah Hunter, who was mother-in-law to Hannah Hunter nee Stacey, Jas V Stacey's aunt. Simple really!

Geoffrey. :)

Hello Debbie

Thanks for getting back! a brief transcript of that Stacey-Lockwood marriage, especially her parentage, would still be appreciated.

'Bye,

Geoffrey.

Thank you for those, Janis. I had some of those entries, but you've given me some extra details.
Various people give the Elizabeth Mews who married Joseph Burnhope in 1782 as the dr of Michael, b in 1761; but perhaps this is just because she is given as age 21 at marriage (on licence bond) -but so is he -it just means 'over 21' in this instance. None of her children is called Michael, whereas her 2nd boy wascalled William, & I think that suggests she was really Elizabeth, dr of Wm, b 1757.

Regards,
Geoffrey. :)
