Hi Trevor. I assume you are the same Trevor that I know? Long time no hear!
I have found more about Thomas fairly recently. Get in touch!

Dublin / Re: Family missing on 1911 Census
« on: Sunday 15 March 15 18:47 GMT (UK)  »
I am having the same problem with my great grandmother, Rose, or Rosa Swann at 1911 census. She is not with her husband and family. I think she may be in the Workhouse/hospital as one of the 'initials'. She has spent time there before. I have tried many times to change spellings etc, etc. I have found out that my great grandparents had another son that I knew nothing about by checking the Family Search link though!
Thank you.

Lancashire Lookup Requests / Re: Chorlton Union Workhouse - McLOUGHLIN
« on: Sunday 18 January 15 19:50 GMT (UK)  »
Hi
Is this of any use?
Elizabeth McLoughlin: Admitted Feb 16th 1881 age 56. Roman Catholic. Died 22 Aug 1881.
Chorlton Union Workhouse.
There are other entries for different years, but still give the same information! That is just the one admission.

There is another for 1910, same name, also R.C. Born 1889, admitted by her sister Mrs Sheridan.

Wherever he came from, this is where he ended up! I took this photo on a family history searching trip to Talke in 1990, looking for Nevitts.
Eunice was Eunice Cartlidge. Marriage: Dec 1889 Newcastle L 6b p133

Yes, I did realise that I'd read your info too quick and shouldn't have been so eager to answer!
I have attached, I hope, the only Widdows photo that I have, my great grandma Rose Swann (nee Widdows), I am unable to find her at 1911 which is annoying. She died 1922. She was possibly in the Workhouse, hospital? Crumpsall Manchester, as she'd admitted herself several times previously.

Hi
That's great, thanks. I think they could be a possibility as one of William Henry's daughters was Charlotte who married John Chappell. I have found John and Maria on, I think, 1841 census,  but don't think it had many children, I expect they'd left by then.
I will keep the information and see what else turns up!
Thanks again

Hi
Thank you for all that information! I can't see any familiar names, but I'll keep it in mind when I'm looking. I'll have another look for John, maybe some new facts have been unearthed that I haven't found before.
I have found James Widdows, Music Hall Artist on the 1911 census, living with his brother Reuben. I'm pretty sure these are part of 'my lot'

My great great grandparents were William Henry Widdows, born in Salford, and Elizabeth Williams,   born in Liverpool. William Henry's father was John Widdows, but I know nothing more about him.

My Widdows family are proving difficult to trace. There are problems with spelling too, I have found them as Widders.

William Henry was a house painter. As far as I can find they had nine children born in Chorlton Manchester.

They were married at Manchester Cathedral on 21 October 1847 and lived in Chorlton on Medlock.
I wonder if John was from Ireland?
Have you had any more success?

Hi
My great grandparents were James and Martha Nevitt so I guess we're related! Who's baby are you??
My grandma was Elizabeth Nevitt.
