Hello Peter
I have just discovered that my gggg grandfather was John Gallimore.  John's son William Gallimore b. abt 1799 was first married to a Susannah who died 1869 and in 1870 William married again at the ripe old age of 70 to Ellen Bennison. William Gallimore was Macclesfield born & bred and I have found him on the 1851 to 1871. He died in 1877.

I would like to see his entry for the 1841 if possible and also discover whether his father John was listed on the 1841.

I do not know the name of John Gallimore's wife.  Wm Gallimore lived at Waters ? *(Is this Waters Green ?) in 1851 and in Commercial Rd in 1861 & 1871.  He was originally a silk weaver but by 1861 had changed his profession to hairdresser.

I do not know the surname of William's first wife Susannah. I know she died in 1869 and was born about 1799. 

Any help would be appreciated.

Dear Karen
Thanks for the info.
My grandfather Samuel Edward Vittery Clift was demobbed to Dellers Cottages after WW1 in 1917 that's why I am interested in the cottages.  I guess the owners of the cottages and the cafe are probably connected - any other news would be welcome

Dear Stephen
Just another thought - maybe your father's death was reported on in the local press and if so may have given some kind of account of his life if known

Dear Steve
There is an area perhaps even a road called Stenalees in the Ecclesiastical District of Treverbyn (St PetersChurch) in the civil Parish  of St Austell - Treverbyn
The Ward of Treverbyn covers an area to the North of St Austell see this site for a map showing Stenalees :- http://www.restormel.gov.uk/index.cfm?articleid=4247  Governed by Restormal Borough Council.
 so that must be the place on the birth certificate.  I found Stenalees just by entering it in the main search engine. It looks as if although born in 1912 your father's birth may not have been registered until 1915 which is very strange and also illegal as parents have 3 months to register a birth.  Could the second date be when a copy of the certicate was obtained ? I can't find William and his wife on the 1901 as it may well be that they married after 1901 anyway. 

Do you use the FreeBMD website  ?  That is very helpful but I have looked at it and could not find William's birth on there in 1912 or 1915 but they are adding further records all of the time.

I think I would be looking very closely at other children born in St Austell at that time to see if they had the same parents as William particularly the Leonard Percival Clift I mentioned.  As he is male if he was your father's brother he may still have decendants named Clift.  I think the link I found between the two Mills sisters is very interesting - let me know if you ever prove it.
