Hi Sheila
              I have found Samuel in the 1861 as below.

RG9-2896-F 129  3 James Place Hulme

Samuel Harrison  head marr 31 porter       Runcorn
Elizabeth ~          wife    ~    31 spinner     Salford
Mary        ~          daug           2                  Warrington

 Also searched the area for any other Harrison's from Runcorn,but there were none.
 You should now post a lookup request on the Lancashire board asking for a 1851 lookup in the same area. Sorry I don't have the 1851 Lancashire census.
 Making sure that you give all the above info as well as the marriage info and details from the 1871 census.
 Please make only one post as multiple posts only cause confussion.
 It is likely that even if you find him in other census's that you may still have to go through the records office to find his baptism, it surprises me that they (RO ) did not offer their services to do a fuller search.

Hi there!

Interested in BRYAN's from Neston area pre 1850's

Particularly John BRYAN's family John was born roughly 1830.

Im quite certain he had a father also named John.

Any info on the family would be much appreciated!

Thanks

Just to say thank you for your efforts on my behalf.

I shall try again at the records office and ask for help on the Lancs board as advised.

Thanks so much and sorry for the confusion.

kind regards
Sheila

I am trying to trace Joel Bowden born in Butley 1809-1819, father Rodney or Rodrey, he married Nancy Woodall on 12 Aug 1844 in Cheadle. Nancy was born in Torkington c 1819 and her father was Thomas. I have them on 1841, 1851 and 1871 censuses in Bosden. Has anybody any information on either of these two please?

My Cheshire families are:

GOSLING - stuck at William Gosling, b. circa 1826 in Macclesfield.  First definite trace at age 15 in Hazel Grove. Probably Methodist, if that helps!  Silk weaver, later policeman, and finally publican of the Wheatsheaf at Broom Edge, Lymm.

JOHNSON - stuck at Thomas Johnson, b. circa 1781, probably Hazel Grove.  Married Alice MARSLAND (b. circa 1786) in Cheadle in 1803 - both gave their address as Bosden, ie Hazel Grove.  Christened 2 children in Bullock Smithy Methodist church (yet another name for Hazel Grove!), but haven't found a birth record for my gggrandmother Alice Johnson, b. Hazel Grove circa 1826.

MARSLAND - see above

HINTON - stuck at John Hinton, d. 1742, Lymm.  Married Elizabeth WILLIAMSON in Lymm in 1732.  Hinton gaps: John Hinton (1739-1817) m. (1) Mary (2) Unknown mother of Thomas (b. 1791).  Thomas Hinton (1791-1869) m. Miriam circa 1812.

SORTON - shuttled between Manchester, Over Tabley and Lymm.  Stuck at Thomas Sorton, b. Manchester 1764.  Married Mary of Over Tabley circa 1790.

Hoping for some new leads.....

IGI on line search for William Gosling gives the following
William Gosling or Rowland. Christening 26 Feb 1826 @ Bosley, Cheshire, Eng. Mother Anne Gosling.
NB Bosley is a tiny village just outside Macclesfield!?
Hope this is of some help

I got excited when I found this one too, but my uncle (who did all the initial research) says it's not the right one -  he turns into William Rowland, a butcher on the 1851 census.  Thanks anyway!

Hi Dawn
             We really need to know Muriel's parents names from her birth certificate (1910) then we can search the census for them and maybe trace relatives from there .
