Family History Beginners Board / Re: Makin

Hi,

Thank you for that. I discovered that Thomas Makin born Abt 1790 in Ireland married Margaret Livesey 15/2/1819 at St Wilfrids in Preston. So if he did go to Manchester he was back in Preston and stayed there.

Hi

I came across this website whilst researching my husbands great grandfather. A lot of hard work has gone into it and it's well worth a visit.

www.sthelensrollsofhonour.co.uk

It covers St Helens and surrounding area!
With the help of this site we managed to locate the memorial that we needed.

Do you know which churches in Preston you need. I belong to the Lancashire Family History and Heraldry Society and we have some of the Catholic Records for Preston. If you can let me have more details maybe I can help you.

Durham / Margaret Ogle Burn White
« on: Sunday 22 May 11 15:48 BST (UK)  »
Hi,

I wonder if any of you good people out there can help me. I am researching a friends family tree. His mother was Margaret Ogle Burn White and she married Nicholas Garlick at Dob Lane Chapel, Failswoth, Ashton under Lyne, on 23rd January 1937. Her father was Thomas White. The marriage certificate states she was 40 which puts her being born about 1897. Her son was always told that she was born Durham/Gateshead area. He wishes he'd have asked more questions.

He knows her mother died and she had a step mother who she didn't get on with so she went into nursing as soon as she was old enough which ties in with the marriage certificate as she was a staff nurse.

I can only find a Margaret C White on the 1901 census age 5. when I enlarge the census, it looks more like Margaret O White living with Grandparents, born Durham Sunderland. I cannot find a birth and therefore parents. ???

Kind regards

Joan

Hi Annette,

Thank you so much for that. I've looked all over for his army record but obviously In the wrong place. I don't know much about the military records. I keep hoping that a marriage will eventually turn up. I am going to put all your information onto my tree on ancestry. I had so much already but that vital army record was missing. He died in Fulwood Barracks June 1859 of phithisis (3 months) as a barracks labourer. I went to the Barracks but they didn't have any information.
Sarah was my great grandmother but she and her older brothers and sisters weren't on the 1851 Census even though Jane was. I think she must have put them in a cupboard.
Thank you once again.
Joan  ;D

Lancashire / Apperley Baptisms in Lancashire
« on: Sunday 31 October 10 11:54 GMT (UK)  »
Hi,

I wonder if anyone could shed any light on this for me.

On Lancs OPC for Lancaster St Mary’s they have 2 baptisms for Appleby and it should be Apperley. But why would it be listed under St Mary’s Lancaster and then say it was performed at the Garrison Chapel Fulwood. Any ideas?????

Baptism: 12 Apr 1857 St Mary, Lancaster, Lancashire, England
Elizabeth Appleby - [Child] of Edward Appleby & Jane
    Abode: Barracks Fulwood
    Occupation: Barrack Labourer
    Baptised by: Edwin Smith, Chaplain
    Performed at: Garrison Chapel, Fulwood
    Register: Baptisms 1852 - 1859, Page 220, Entry 1756
    Source: LDS Film 1526200

Baptism: 3 Feb 1856 St Mary, Lancaster, Lancashire, England
William George Appleby - [Child] of Edward Appleby & Jane
    Abode: Fulwood Barracks
    Occupation: Barrack Labourer
    Baptised by: Edwin Smith
    Performed at: Garrison Chapel Fulwood
    Register: Baptisms 1852 - 1859, Page 178, Entry 1417
    Source: LDS Film 152620

Edward Apperley died 6th June 1859 in Fulwood Barracks but I don't know where he was buried. In fact he doesn't exist except for his childrens birth and baptisms and his own death certificate.

Regards

Joan
