Lancashire Lookup Requests / Re: Marriage in Manchester Cathedral, Twiss and Middleton
« on: Sunday 07 October 12 15:43 BST (UK)  »
Thank you everyone who replied. I have found the baptism record and it looks as though Mr Twiss got Jane pregnant and then left her as he married my distant relative in September 1856!
Bad lad.

Lancashire Lookup Requests / Marriage in Manchester Cathedral, Twiss and Middleton
« on: Sunday 07 October 12 14:50 BST (UK)  »
Euphemia TWISS and Herbert MIDDLETON were married on 19 Oct 1873 in Manchester Cathedral.
Euphemia was baptised 3 Feb 1856 in Manchester Cathedral or Chorlton-upon-Medlock.

If anyone could look up either of these so that I can check her father's name I would be very grateful.

Thank you

I have ancestors who lived there when they got married in 1867 - Thomas Cartwright and Mary Ann Wood.  It took me age to find out where it was as it's shown as Bowshell on their marriage certificate.  Strange thing is that I only live about 5 minutes walk from there!

Glad to have been of help

It is in the area around Bagley Street, Yardley Street, and Lawrence Street which are off Birmingham Street/Stourbridge Road, Stambermill.

"Bouchall and Clatterbatch give the river a short rural setting, it is here that it passes under the ten arch Stambermill railway viaduct, a well-known Stourbridge landmark. The predecessor of this was built of wood, and on the Lye side of the present one the brick pillars that supported it are still in existence.

Re Boucher, The Lye.

Is this Bouchall, Stambermill which is between Stourbridge and the Lye? Also shown on a marriage cert as Bowshell!

Hi Rob
I think that we have corresponded before and that our families are linked.

My Grandmother Florence Selina Skelding nee Cartwright (1879-1929) was also known as Florrie Drybread because when she had a row with my Grandad Sidney (1877-1957) that's what she gave him for his packed lunch - or so the story goes.

I am researching SKELDING, CARTWRIGHT (originally from Belbroughton), CHANCE, TAYLOR and many other names from the Lye.
