Hi Radcliff,

the pdf arrived today. It was the correct Margaret Thomas - thank you, great work with a great result!

Hi everyone,

I am trying to find the deaths and burials of one of my ancestors - Margaret Thomas nee Fennill born in Manchester. She married Owen Thomas - he died in 1870 and was buried in a public grave at Manchester General Cemetery.

I have Census records etc for them. The last record I have for Margaret is the 1891 Census, at the time she is listed as being aged 63, living at 22 Lancashire Street, Harpurhey, Manchester, living with her daughter Annie Bailey and her family.

There seems to be a large number of Margaret Thomas deaths on the GRO between 1891 and the next census of 1901 - can anyone help locating her grave please or helping me locate the correct death?

Thanks, Luke

Hi all,

I am looking into one of my relatives, Elizabeth Parr, born aprox 1791 in Lancashire.

I have 2 records I am unsure of. I know that Elizabeth married John Parr in 1811 in Rainford and lived with her daughter Thomasine Ashall nee Parr.

I have found a possible criminal record for an Elizabeth Parr or around the right age on 20th October 1845 in Lancashire. The lady in question was imprisoned for 6 weeks due to Larceny. I wondered if anyone could see any information to prove or disprove this was her? In the 1841 Census she was recorded as Betty Parr and was living with husband John on Dukes Street, Liverpool. In the 1851 Census she is widowed and living with her daughter Thomasina, still at Dukes Street.

The second document is a possible burial on 16th June 1851 at St Martin in the Fields, Liverpool. The burial record says that this Elizabeth Parr died in the Workhouse. Again, I just wondered if anyone was able to clarify if this is the correct Elizabeth for me.

Thanks, Luke

SGF28 & Sparret,

excellent work, thank you both. I have a fantastic new picture of George's life, both the good and the bad.

Thank you Neale1961.

Thank you Mark, I'll take a look to see if I can find anything listed for the death.
Much appreciated, Luke
