I appreciate I'm a little late,  but if anyone else is researching these factories thus might be helpful.

Staffordshire / Re: Joseph Henry Gregg b 1861 Wolverhampton

I am pretty sure now that something must have happened to Joseph Henry and Mary in Accrington, and that Mary moved back to Wolverhampton to be nearer all their families, as I cannot find any references to him after the birth of Henry. 

Does anyone know if there is a way to check online for railway staff records in different districts?

Staffordshire / help 'translating' a census
« on: Tuesday 29 December 20 16:44 GMT (UK)  »
hello all, I am looking at an ancestors census return for 1851, and it seems v confusing.

Im looking at the census for 1851 for william stevens and his family at the Hurst, dudley woodside. https://www.ancestry.co.uk/imageviewer/collections/8860/images/STSHO107_2032_2033-0547?pId=8798327 There seems to be two children listed as his, but born 2 months apart, and two women one is wife the other ? Any suggestions as to what the census taker was trying to record?

Staffordshire / Re: Joseph Henry Gregg b 1861 Wolverhampton

Its strange isn't it! Harold was the last one who kept the gregg name by 1911, the later children went by Melling on 1901 then Gregg Melling in 1911, by then Mary Jane is also calling herself Melling. So I dont know if the later kids were given the name gregg as MaryJane had them by Melling after Joseph had died.

I haven't checked it yet but a 39 link was found for Harold Melling, so maybe he wasn't Josephs last, and the twins were. So possibly Joseph died from early 85 onward in Accrington.

Staffordshire / Joseph Henry Gregg b 1861 Wolverhampton
« on: Thursday 24 December 20 18:40 GMT (UK)  »
Hello all
I've got one of those brick walls and hoped for some help.  I have Joseph Henry Gregg b 1861 to Henry Gregg and Frances in Wolverhampton.

This is what "I Think" I know.

I have him in 1871 and 1881 living at home in Wolverhampton, I have his marriage cert to Mary Ann Haslam in wolverhampton 27 nov 1883. (She is living in wolverhampton, but is from Ramsbottom).

 I have his first child Henry born in Accrington 5 July 1884, and then twins Samuel and Walter born in Wolverhampton on 15 October 1885.  Then there is a child on later census called Harold b 1891 wolverhampton, (who keeps the name Gregg despite other half siblings changing to Melling) Then he vanishes, presumably died. As in 1891 Mary Ann is a widow in Wolverhampton, but by 1901 & 1911 she is still Mary Ann Gregg but listed as married, presumably to the James Melling she lives with.

My dilema is where did Joseph go? He may have gone by Harry or Henry, or Joseph, or a combination of all of them. But I cannot find a death cert.... can anyone help?

I have Eliza Jane Nuttall on my list of potentials, but I dont know why I had discounted her, I must go back and find her, as she MUST be th one!!  ;D  Especially as Mary Anne appears as Mary Anne Seddon in future years with Moses....

Thank you all, I guess I just needed the kick to get going again :)

Hello all, Ive hit a brick wall and hoped someone has some clues for me.

John Haslam (b c 1828 Bury, Tottington or Ramsbottom), to parents James Haslam, a bookkeeper turned school master and Sarah ?

I have John at 21 in 1851 living at home in Tottington as a mechanic, but by 9 January1854 he and Eliza Jane ? (b 1830 Bury/Ramsbottom) are married and having their 1st born Susannah, and he is listed as millwright. I have later marriages, and census etc but simply cannot find this marriage!

Does anyone have any clues?
