Hi Charlotte


All the info i have is through roots chat, especially with the help of monica, as my family never really talked about the past, due to the circumstances. However, it would be lovely to hear from you to discuss the link further!!

Lancashire / Stowells Memorial Parish
« on: Wednesday 27 January 10 22:50 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Everyone,

I was just wondering if anyone is able to work their magic and shed some light on the  above!!

I have just recieved a marriage certificate for William Norbury and Emma Oates in 1890, they were married in the parish of St Simon, Salford. However, on the certificate William's residence at the time of the marriage is down as Stowells Memorial Parish!!

Now, i have searched this and have found information on the church, i know where it is and drive past it quite regularly, yet i am at a loss to see where/how he would be living there. I can't find any info for any houses, just the church and the Stowell family.

William did eventually own a cab business, which was a family business, and is documented as a Coachman and a widower at the time of the marriage. The cab business was on Trafford Road which was not far from this church!!


Please Help!!

Hi Everyone,

Sorry for taking my time getting back to you with this but here goes:

Through the Census' i believe Ann was born in Chorlton Cum Hardy in 1826ish!!

I have the information that Ann Married George Smallshaw in 1850,

In 1851 Ann is living in Salford at 2 Robinson, Queen St, Manchester, with George and daughter Susannah.

In 1861 they are living at 19 Foster St in Hulme with their children Susannah, George, Samuel, William and Ann

In1871 they are at the same address but now have another son Aaron

I can also see her on 1881 and 1891 Census with George dying in 1884.

I am stumped as to where to go now!! I will def be having a look at that Baptism record though!!

Thanks for looking for me, i really appreciate it!!

Lancashire / Help needed to understand a birth entry!!
« on: Friday 04 December 09 00:23 GMT (UK)  »
Hi

I have recieved a birth certificate this morning, but unfortunately it has left me rather confused!!

The certificate is for George Smallshaw 1853, his parents are Ann and George Smallshaw.

However, under the mothers name it says:

Ann SMALLSHAW, late TUTE formally GREENHALGH

I know here name was Ann Tute when she Married George Smallshaw in 1850, but have searched for an Ann Greenhalgh marrying a TUTE but now luck, also tried the other way Ann TUTE marrying a GREENHALGH but blank again.

I have carried out the search through FreeBMD, but records only start from 1837. However, i believe here birth to be around 1823 from Census info.


Can anyone help me untangle this??

Laura
