Cheshire Lookup Requests / Re: Tattenhall Bastardy Records
« on: Monday 21 February 11 20:32 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Jo,

I think this is the only chance I have to find out who the father is. Extreme long shot tho it is.

Unfortunately, I can't get to the record office as I'm in Oz.

Cheshire Lookup Requests / Tattenhall Bastardy Records
« on: Monday 21 February 11 03:00 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Everyone,

Hope someone out there can help. I'm looking for any Bastardy Records for a John Johnson b May 1841 in Tattenhall whose mother was Martha Johnson.  Trying to find his fathers name. Not given on his birth certificate or his christening records. Looks like he was raised by his grandparents as their son as he names his Grandfather as his father on his marriage cert.

Thanks

Dave

Hi Trish,

Just to add I may have found her in the 1871 as Mary Emmerson living with a Jane Emmerson from Baggrow ( Baggraw). Martha had a twin sister Jane B. 1813 they were born in Allhallows which I believe is not too far away. But the interesting thing is there is a Jane Ferguson living there also who is a niece from Scalby.

The more I look at this the more confused I get!!!

Hi Trish,

I did have all the previous information. However, the Marelda looks like a good bet to me. Especially if Soalby could be interpreted as Scaleby

Martha had a son in 1843 prior to marrying John Ferguson - William Emmerson b in Brampton. However, I can't find her having any other children prior to marriage and she is living with her brother John in 1841.

Still as confused as ever!!

Thanks

Thanks Julie,

This is a bit of a weird family. Martha Elizabeth was born Emmerson but is living with her Grandmother in the 1861 census as Martha Ferguson in Scaleby. She later has my great grandfather William Emmerson (who is born and registered as William Ferguson) in 1878 as an unmarried mother. She later marries George Jackson as Martha Emmerson and in the 1891 is living in Crosby on Eden with her son William Ferguson - All very confusing! I couldn't find anything on Matilda so will take another look at the 1861.

Many thanks for the help

Hi,

There is a John Mclarry b 1833 on the 1841 census b St Bees Cumberland.

You don't give a fathers name so not 100% if this is your man. This ones father is Peter and Mother Mary.

Hope it helps

Cumberland Lookup Requests / Scaleby Look-Up
« on: Wednesday 02 June 10 01:36 BST (UK)  »
Hi,

Can anybody do a look-up on the Scaleby parish records for Martha Elizabeth Emmerson b 02 Aug 1857. IGI only gives her mothers name as Matilda. I'm hoping the actual record will give her mothers age or at least confirm she is unmarried.

Can't find any birth records for a Matilda Emmerson at all although there appears to be one born in Brayton (about 1839) on the 1861.

Any help appreciated.

Galway / George Petty
« on: Friday 14 May 10 02:25 BST (UK)  »
Hi All,

Hope someone can help me out with a look-up. I'm looking for a George Petty born around 1815 in Dunmore, Co Galway. He was RC but other than that have little or no information until he arrived in Liverpool in the mid 1830's.

Thanks

Dave

I'll look forward to the 1901 coming online. I also found the IGI stuff but with so much of the records in Ireland missing it is difficult to guage how likely it is to be them.

Thanks for the help
