Lancashire / convent blackley prestwich 1911
« on: Saturday 17 March 12 20:24 GMT (UK)  »
Hi,

           On the 1911 census there is a 'convent boarding school' as it calls itself listed  at blackley prestwich. But the boarders are listed as 'inmates!'
My great aunt Elizabeth Welsh aged eleven is one of them.
Could this be the convent of the Good Shepherd'
why would an eleven year, old both parents alive, and together be sent there?

Any  suggestions orinfo greatly apppreciated.

                Thanks Annie 3

Cheshire / convent of the good shepherd 1911 blackley
« on: Saturday 17 March 12 20:11 GMT (UK)  »
Hi everyone,

                  Does anyone know anything about a 'convent boarding school' as it called itself on the 1911 census in Blackley greater Manchester? \It lists its pupils as 'inmates'!  I think it was probably the convent of the Good Shepherd but don't know for certain. The headmistress was called Eugenie Savage

My great aunt Elizabeth Welsh, aged eleven, is one of the 'inmates' yet her parents were still together and living in Stockport.
The family had one daughter still living with them but their other five children died in infancy.
Very puzzled by all this any info however small would be much appreciated

            Thanks

Cheshire / death 1955 stockport
« on: Sunday 17 July 11 20:47 BST (UK)  »
 I wonder if anyone remembers an Agnes Welsh who was a resident of Stockport for many years.

I have just found out that she died in Stockport at the beginning of 1955 aged eighty nine.

Her husband was James Welsh who died in 1923 and they were pub landlords/ owners.

They had many children who all, except one Elizabeth, died in infancy.

Hope someone can help

                                            Thanks

Hi,

          Thank you for your reply.

William Mullett/ Walker did have a middle name. He was called William Thomas walker/Mullett.
Hope this info helps.

                            regards

Hi
     Does anyone know a William walker born in darlington or workington in about 1904?

He may also have been known as William Mullett.

I believe he moved to Aberdeen in about 1930.

                                         Thanks

                                       Annie

Hi,

        Thanks everyone for your replies.

Yes Colin I agree  it isn't easy at all.

However your theory about the Saltersgate road area seems likely.

 I looked at the census again and after listing the backlane houses it then

continues with 1 Glebe road, which is Saltersgate  end

Strangely  the first listing before the backlane houses is  "the

smallpox hospital" which  is empty. does anyone know anything about this

building?

                                     regards

Thanks Colin  thats helped me.
I have checked the census again and on it 139  is Glebe Farm but there are

 about  six houses in the 'back lane'. 144 is a house and maket garden owned

by a Mr Knaggs. 140- 146 are the ones in the back lane.

Next on the census is glebe road. Hopefully this will help.

Do you know how long the golf club has been there?

Happy New Year to everyone.

Does anyone know where Haughton lane/ Haughton back lane was in

Darlington in 1911? Some of my ancestors lived there acccording to the census

of that year.  I think it was in Harrowgate Hill ward. Does it still exist ? I believe

the house was quite big', according to the census it had seven rooms.

                             thanks
                                    Annie
