Lancashire Lookup Requests / Census Records
« on: Tuesday 13 May 25 09:55 BST (UK)  »
This may be a long shot but I'm trying to find out who stayed at 16 Jones Street, Hulme in 1861.
I was searching for my Great Great Grandmother's family.  My GGG/M was called Bridget but I have all her details.  In 1861, Bridget wrote a letter to the newspapers asking for information on her 3 sisters and also her Mother Margaret, who she believed were still living in the Manchester area.
They were Ann, Catherine & Mariam/Mary Maher.   Her Mother's maiden names was Welsh or Walsh and they were all born in Ireland.
I did find an 1851 census for Hulme.  The names seem to fit and the occupations but the ages don't but that often happens.   Mary is married to William Mahoney, also born in Ireland.
I did register with the Manchester General Cemetery Transcriptions site and they took my money but I'm unable to contact them as there were no credits added.
Hoping someone can help

Hello

Can anyone help with looking up a death announcement for William Arthur Storr who died  in July  or August 1979 in Carlisle.  William was born in 1891 (I have this information). His parents were George Storr and Margaret Whittaker.  He was married to Elizabeth Phimister in July 1925. She was born in Scotland in 1887 in Scotland.   She may have died in 1959.  Elizabeth's parents were James Phimister and Annie Wright.
I've searched cemeteries records for them both with no success
Hoping that there may be any information in newspapers
