Hi Cloud.
What religion was your grandfather?.
Some of my relations lived within walking distance of Weaste Cemetery Salford, but being Roman Catholics I found  on their passing that they were buried at St Josephs Catholic  Cemetery at Moston Manchester.

Dumfriesshire / Re: Marriage of George MENZIES and Margaret THOMSON
« on: Friday 28 September 18 12:50 BST (UK)  »
Hi sw1.
I spent many years looking for the marriage of my GG/Grandmother in Dumfries without any success, then a member of this forum found for me her marriage in Dumfries it was an irregular Scottish marriage and it was listed in the Dumfries Kirk Sessions in 1817. Is it possible that your couple had an irregular marriage?.
Regards Dave.

Hi suzyf.
Are you sure this street is in Manchester?.
I was brought up in Manchester and do not recognise this street, and also the bus on the road does not  look like a Manchester bus to me, but I could be wrong.

The Common Room / Re: Joseph Heap Death Query.

Hi ShaunJ.
Many Thanks.
It would appear that in 1857 Joseph was living with or near to his second eldest daughter Elizabeth who had married to a Thomas Rigby in 1848 in Bolton and who appear on the 1861 census living at 48 Hope Street Salford.
 Thanks for your help with this post.
Dave.

The Common Room / Re: Joseph Heap Death Query.

Hi groom/ShaunJ.
Thank you for your replies.
Yes Joseph served in the 52nd and 29th foot regiments.
Joseph married Mary Ann Knight in 1826 at St Pancras where his two eldest daughters Emma and Elizabeth were born he then moved with his family back to Bolton Lancashire where he was born, his wife Mary Ann died in 1845 and on the 1851 census he was still in Bolton with his two younger children George and Sarah Ann both born in Bolton. I could not find Joseph on the 1861 census but found George had married and was still in Bolton and found daughter Sarah Ann in Farnworth Bolton as a boarder.
I assume he then applied to become a in pensioner at the Royal Hospital Chelsea after all his children had left home.

Regards Dave.

The Common Room / Joseph Heap Death Query.
« on: Thursday 26 April 18 12:23 BST (UK)  »
Hi All.
I have been searching for the death of a Joseph Heap born 1790/91 and I did a free search of the civil deaths and burials on FindMyPast which came up with a Joseph Heap burial in 1863 with a date of birth of 1791 at Brompton Cemetery Middlesex making Joseph 72 years old at death. I then checked GRO for a death of a Joseph Heap in 1863 and the only one that came up within the Greater London area was in the 3rd quarter 1863 registered in Chelsea with a death age of 68. I then checked  the Brompton Cemetery burial records online which stated that a Joseph Heap was buried there on the 31st July 1863. Is it likely that the Joseph on the GRO and the Joseph buried in Brompton are one and the same person?.

Hi Damuan.
I would say the birth was at Trevaughn Pembrokeshire in the rural district of Whitland.
