Hi Ter1

           Its no problem, two heads are always better than one.

( Would you want the other post you made on the same subject deleting, just in case someone else starts a search thinking you have had no replies)

I'm just starting to research my mother's side of the family who seem to be from Moulton, Over, Cheshire and am amazed how much more info there is available on line than for the area in Lancs that my father's family are from!

My Gran was Mildred DUTTON born May 1910 in Moulton to Albert DUTTON (details of DOB etc unknown as yet) and Emily (nee Clarke) born about 1880 in Moulton.

I know that Albert and Emily moved to Lancs sometime before 1830 when Mildred married my grandfather.

I have managed to trace Emily Clarke's family and have her parents as Herbert and Ellen (nee Bradshaw). I have their census data from 1871 on wards with Emily's siblings.

I would really like to try to go back to earlier census data (1841, 1851 and 1861)

The info I have on Herbert and Ellen is

Herbert born 1839(listed as 1846 on 1901 census) in Kingsley (listed as Norley on 1891 census) so he was obviously not always accurate!

Ellen (nee Bradshaw) born 1852 in Whitegate.

Any help gratefully appreciated!

Hi N Rose

                I think this is your Herbert and the rest of the Clarkes in 1851 and 1841, I have not found them in 1861 as I think the parents had died or moved on by then and the children were split up, I know not where

There is a marriage indexed for a William Clark and Mary Oultram 19/Jan/1832 at St Lawrence Frodsham.

I will see what can be found on the Bradshaws and post again

Sorry not able to find Jane Stretch in 1841 but if you ever get her marriage cert let me know their fathers names and I should be able to trace them,the same applies to Albert Dutton .

Thanks for the Bradshaws. I have managed to trace the Clarke's from 1861 to 1901 with the info you gave me. They had two more son's - Levi and Reuben - very grand names!

I'll now try and do the same with the Bradshaws.

I have ordered Albert Dutton's marriage cert. which should be here any day. So I may just take you up on your offer to trace him!

Thank you once again.

Hi Jean

            Below are the details from the 1861 census that shows your James and his family.

           I have searched the 1851 census for both Lymm and Appleton and there is no sign of them, its possible they had moved to Manchester by then.

1861 RG9-3045-F49  6 Victoria Place Wardleworth Lancs

Joseph Stead head 46 Borough police officer born Salford
Mary               wife 45                                      Manchester
Mary A            daug 19 cotton doubler  Morton Cheshire
Thomas            son 16 cotton packer     Lymm
James                     14 carpet printer     Lymm
Maria              daug 13                           Appleton
Charlotte                 9  scholar               Manchester

hope this helps
