Hi PeterBennet,     On the 1861 cesus Mary E Stubbs and her family Joseph, Sarah and half brother William Biddulph are living in Kidsgrove Staffs.  On all the census but the 1861 Mary is listed as beng born in Macclesfield.  Joesph and Sarah are listed as being born Rushton on the 1861 census and William as being born in Sutton, and Mary from Bond.   I have looked for this Mary for some time now without success.  It does not help matters that on her marriage certificate she states that she is 21 which would make her birth date 1851 not 1854 as the census states, also  the marriage certificate gives her name as Mary Eliza.   Thanks in advance Norma

Hi Norma
               Can you give me the 1861 census referance numbers.

For some reason I cannot find the family by using Rushton or Kidsgrove as a keyword

Hi Norma
               Sorry it might be me but your Stubbs are not on that page of the 1861 census.

Hello.  I am looking for Becket in Cheshire. My ancestors include Richard Becket(t) of Baddiley Hall.  He had twelve children. Quite a lot about this family is contained in the will of Aston Becket b. abt 1774 Baddiley Hall and d. 5 May 1833 in Cranage.  I have the family traced to the present but am missing many dates and important facts.  Any interest from members?  Mike Adair

Hi PeterBennett,  Sorry I have not replied before now but my mother-in-law passed away Monday so have not been looking at my e-mail until today.  I found the 1861 census with my Stubbs family on it on the 1837 site, but have not found them on the Ancestry.co.uk site. My Mary may be listed as just Mary in 1854 not with the Elen or Eliza she has later. Again thanks for your help Norma

Hi Norma

              Sorry to here of your loss.

     I have found the relavant 1861 census page, it was page 47 not 42, and on Ancestry the family are indexed as Hobbs.

   Williams birthplace looks as if it may read Diall Lane, which as you may know is between Congleton and Biddulph.

  As for Mary's I cannot even hazard a guess at where Bond refers to in Cheshire.

  There are a few Mary's born around that time in the Macclesfield/Congleton areas, have you tried sending for the birth certificates of all of them, and asking that they only send you the one with Joseph and Sarah as mother and father ? You would have to use the http://www.cheshirebmd.org.uk/ for this type of request.

Henry Crank b 1826 Little Budworth is my Great Grandfather
George Edward Crank b 1860 in Utkinton is my Grandfather

Any CRANK information would be greatly appreciated.

Marina
