Hi Peter

Thanks very much for the info on Boswell & Jones families in 1841 / 1851 census.

Whilst the information does look a little bit confusing, it certainly gives me a lot more to work on. I will wait till the  next time I am at CRO to look up the church records.

Does the ~ after William's name in your reply refer to birth in Witton or Gt Budworth (around 1842/3) ?

Then a possible marriage record for Joseph's to Margaret and Joseph's own birth in Witton records (around 1813-1816). Then the lead back to the older generation Joseph -possible grandfather !

Regarding John Jones's family, unsure if these two records imply John had both a wife and daughter named Hannah.
Daughters Hannah and Mary both missing from 1841 record !

Do you have access to any 1861 census records. Any information on the family unit at that time may possibly clarify some of this.

Regards

Bernard

Hi Peter

I wonder if you can help with my research on Boswell family of Northwich area.

Known data. My  G Grandmother Hannah Boswell was eldest daughter of a William Boswell who married a Mary Jones in Davenham Church 6 June 1853.

Cannot so far find any birth / baptism info on either parent.

In 1871 census records William stated as born Northwich and aged 38 so should be born c 1833/4 ?
Mary (Jones) recorded as born Weaverham aged 39 so born c 1832/3 ?.

On William & Marys marriage records (from Chester CRO) Williams father named as Joseph (mother not listed). Mary's father recorded as John Jones.

Would be interested in any info on any of these in 1851/1841 census records to try to determine any more information on Joseph Boswell & John Jones families (wifes names & other children).

Regards

Bernard

Thanks very much. This looks a very positive lead.  :)
I do know Ralph & Catherine had a son Thomas born in 1835 or 1836 in Northwich, so fits in quite well.

I will follow up through the route you advise to check out if these are the correct pairing.

Thanks again for the help.

I find it very pleasing to see lots of people trying to help out with each others searches.

Hi Peter

Thanks very much for the information on the Stanway marriages in Gt Budworth & Witton Churches.  :)

This should enable me to go more directly to the marriaage records at the Chester RO - rather than trawl through a lot of micorfilms !

I am still confused over the missing record for Ralph & Catherine. I have no inclination that they were outside of the area at any time.

Ralph appears in 1841 & 1851 census in Castle Northwich along with wife Catherine in 1841 record (Kate in 1851 !) and son Thomas.  I have no knowledge yet of Catherine's maiden name.  Believed marriage was back beyond the 1837 start of BMD records.

Any other thoughts on other ways to follow this one up?

Thanka gains for the help so far

Hi I am new to the Rootschat site, viewing it for the first time today.

I understand you may have access to some Cheshire parish marriage records.

Could you see if you can trace any of the following (likely in one of the following churches - Northwich Witton St Helen, Great Budworth or Weaverham).

1. Thomas Stanway to a Mary Dickens around 1830 - 1860.

2. Ralph Stanway (father of Thomas above) to a Catherine ? (Surname unknown at this time). Likely before 1837 - as not showing on Cheshire BMD records. 

3  Thomas Stanway (father of Thomas above) marraige to an Anne Ryder. Date unknown but anticipated around 1780 - 1790.

4. Randle Stanway (father of Thomas above) to a Sarah ? (surname again not known at this time.

Any help you can give to guide me to the particular church and date woudl be very helpful.

Thanks

Bernard
