I am researching Mary Caldwell from Grappenhall who married George Artingstall 1-18-1730 in St Wilford.  Looking for date of birth..death.
Thank-you

Hello again,

         Here is the information as promised,

Mary Caldwell was said to be 71 years old when she died in 1773, she is buried in Flixton parish church with her husband George "Arstol" and his parents Joseph 1667-1726 and Jane 1670-1747, [the name is often shortened to Arstall etc.,] their children are all buried in Eccles parish church and are as follows
Joseph a farmer of Little Heaton 1731-1806 married Margaret Rogers abt 12 children.
George a farmer of Worsley 1733-1794 married mary Thornley  no children.
William a farmer of Salford 1736-1817 married Alice Heywood abt 5 children.
Benjamin a farmer of Middleton 1735-1779  abt 4 children.
John a farmer of Little Haughton 1740-1812 married Margaret Hope 4 children.

  I think I inadvertantly gave you the death dates of George and Mary junior on my original reply, sorry.

Cheers,  Norma

Norma,

Thank-you for the info.   Would you happen to know the marriage date of Joseph and Jane and who Joseph's parents were?

To Norma,
Also wanted to ask you if you knew the names of Joseph brothers and sisters.  Being from the Australian branch I have already found one connection.

Thanks,
Cessy

Hello Cessy,
     
       The marriage of Joseph and Jane is the "brick wall" although I do have some Joseph baptisms, the most likely giving his father as Thomas who had numerous children baptised at Ashton upon Mersey.

       I do correspond with a few people around the world with Arstall/Artingstall interests, I think "Bev" is in Australia, I have given her the same information.

Cheers,  Norma

Hi Peter

Many, many thanks for the information on the Roberts family which looks very promising. I returned from Australia a few days ago and I think my brain may finally have caught up with me this morning but it's still a bit too soon to tell!

It's extremely kind of you to go to so much trouble as I can see from other posts how busy we keep you.

Kind regards

Rosemarie.

Researching family name Lutas.  Phoebe Lutas (nee Roberts) born Nov 4 or 5, perhaps 1865?  Died approx 1947. Husband John, worked on the docks, daughter Doris born 1905 and son Jack (or would that be John too?) born I think around 1895.  Jack worked as a captain on the ferries.  Known address 38 Bell Road, Wallasey.  Phoebe, John, Jack and Doris (married name Anderson) buried in Rake Lane Cemetary.  Trying desperately to find info on Phoebe and Jack, all I have found is one mention of Phoebe in the 1891 census.

New to all this, so any help/information would be very appreciated!

Hi Jan

You could look at the 1901 site for Lutas and Lucas in Cheshire on the 1901 census site. I checked and there are people with both names in Seacombe, including Phoebe Lucas aged 31. I suggest looking at Lucas as well because many names were spelled incorrectly on all census transcriptions. 
The ages shown can't always be relied on either.

You could try the following one as well for the 1881 census:

I found a Phoebe Roberts who may be the person you are searching for on this one:

Daur   Gender: Female   Birth: <1864> Birkenhead, Cheshire, England


Happy hunting
