England / Re: Rickards

I will be interested in what ever you have as anything will help to track them down.

I did once find an obscure reference to a christening at St Pauls church Convent Garden but it then vanished and I have not been able to find it since,
There seem to be two medieval era families: one at Nottingham and the other at Radnor.

My dads uncle did a family history before he died and I found it listed in a book shop but when I enquired it had gone.

If anyone reading this has any offers please join in.

Yes: I am not sure how it works.
Any family connection would be interesting and as you say they are an interesting lot, so interesting they are difficult to locate.
I would like to get back to the English Civil War era but that looks like asking too much.
I am not sure how to copy my e-mail address to you but it is in there somewhere.

I am grateful for any information about this family group, they seem to be there one year and then vanish again. I know my father was born in Birmingham and later moved with his mother and sister to Manchester.

Any further information is welcome: thank you.

Can you tell me when the UAOD was formed and where, also, when it disbanded please. Perhaps there is a founding charter still in existence?
The names of the founders would be interesting, before their memory is lost like everything else associated with our industrial past.

Is there any information about the Watermen around Manchester and Salford? There was a 'riot' of some proportion by the Weaver Watermen and the evolution of railways had impact everywhere. There were photographs of vessels in the centre of Manchester on the Irwell in front of the Cathedral. There has to be a register of names of some sort?

Lancashire / Burns: Manchester & Fryup,Danby
« on: Friday 25 July 08 17:20 BST (UK)  »
My mothers, mothers name was Burns and they were christened in the Cathedral,Manchester. She later lived in Salford.
The following Member was my great grandmothers brother.
 Robert BURNS,  School Master with his family in 1881 at Great Fryup School Cottage, Danby.
     
 Amelia BURNS     Wife    
 Ricd.Thos. BURNS     Son          
 Robert BURNS     Son                     
 George Edward BURNS     Son                   

    I believe he was still there in1910

The  Fryup school building must still be there?
There were family connections between Salford and Whitby, but they are now 'vanished'.

The name Burns in Manchester is particularly interesting because Frederick Engels was introduced to the horrors of 19th century industrial life by two Burns sisters, one of whom he eventually married. Engels provided a house for the ladies in Manchester.
I  believe that my family are not connected with this story, but the dates are right, and who knows?

I have Frederick Rickards, born 1799 Winkfield Berks, married to Jane who was born 1792.

Fredericks parents were Benjamin and Charlotte.

I have Sussana Baker Godfrey married to 1823 Frederick in 1843 at West Drayton. Her parents were William Godfrey and Mary. William was born 1800 at Harmondsworth to William Godfrey(b1775) and Susanna Baker(b 1775).I have them married at St Martin in the Field 1792.

I am interested particularly in trying to get back to the Civil War era and possibly earlier.
Also, due to the divorce of my paternal grandmother, I wish to find any modern family connections who wish to communicate.

That has cleared up one item of inherited confusion: he was a corn merchant. I am still puzzled why and how he moved from Berkshire to Salisbury.
John referred to as age one year later moved to Birmingham and married Elizabeth Beales from Leicester. He was my fathers grandfather.
Fredericks father was also Frederick born 1799 at Winkfield, Berks.

I am gratefull for any help: thank you.
