Hi Sarah

           I have checked the 1841 for the Waters area of Macclesfield and there is no sign of William and Hannah, do you know where and when they married ? I cannot seem to find it anywhere, looking at the 1851 for them it also say's Hannah was born Macclesfield not Ireland ?
         
regards

For some reason I had been sure that Hannah was born in Ireland.... I have not got a clue as to where I got that info. I have never been able to find a marriage for them and always thought they got married in Ireland. If Hannah was born in Macc I suppose she could have been working in Ireland, may be with one of the families from around here. I seem to remember seeing something about the Capsthorne Hall lot having estates in Ireland. I really am taking a flight of fancy here!!?
Anything you come up with would be gratefully recieved.
Thanks
Sarah

Hi Sarah

           I found this and thought it might be of interest in your search for the origins of William Crowder.
           When looking on the 1851 there is a Elizabeth Crowder widow living not a million miles away (on Park Lane) from William. I am sure you must have seen it and disregarded it, however I thought I would see if they could be found on the 1841, and sure enough Elizabeth was there with husband William, the fact that young William moved on to Park Lane and William the elder being there is a connection you might want to investigate further.

hope this helps

Hi peterbennet
Thanks for that. You were right I had seen them and discarded it. I had just been getting round to the idea that I should follow up on all the other CROWDERs in Macc to see if there was a link anywhere.
There was another problem that I came across, namely that there was another William & Hannah C living in Bollington at the same time with a very similar list of childrens names. Luckily Dad remembers visiting "the girls" in Catherine St when he was little (he is now 90). They were the daughters of Harriet BOOTH (nee CROWDER) & David BOOTH. Harriet was the oldest child (born 1842) of William & Hannah in Macc not Bollington.
It would be good to sort this out for Dad but I have my doubts. Anyway thanks for the help.

If anybody is after BOOTHs in Macc (a common name I know) see my BOOTH posting that should follow sometime this evening.

ASTON family from TIVERTON/BUNBURY

Peter Aston born 1842 Tiverton, parents John Aston and Hannah Clarke. Peter married Elizabeth Ellen Bolton in 1868 Nantwich. Elizabeth died 1878. Peter arrived in Australia about 1894/95 (not sure exactly, beginning to think he swam), with second wife Emma Morry and surviving children. Cannot find Peter in the 1881 census or any of his children, Thomas Peter b.1870 Bunbury, Mary Ann b.1871 and Elizabeth Hannah b.1874. Peter was a Primitive Methodist Minister and possibly they left England early 1881 after the birth of Frances Emma, only child to his second wife, and spent time in another country before arriving and taking a position in Brisbane, Australia in the early 1890's.

I am researching Maddock Family in the Winsford /Over /Northwich area of Cheshire.  The family seems to be several generations of watch and clock makers.
I have got as far as Samuel Maddock born c 1780.  His son Charles born c 1822 married in Warrington Lancs but settles with wife Elizabeth and children in Winsford.

I have been researching my husband's family tree. His GGGG Aunt Sarah Dalton  born 1818 Barnton Cheshire married on 6 August 1836 St Lawrence Parish Church Frodsham Cheshire to William Maddock born 1816 Barnton Cheshire.  The 1881 census shows their address as Town Field Lane Frodsham. William was age 65 bricklayer/ journeyman with wife Sarah age 62 and two children Phoebe Maddock born 1850 Frodsham & Daniel Maddock born 1861 Frodsham a joinery and carpentry apprentice.

I hope that this information is useful to your research.

I'm looking for information on my earliest TONGE ancestor Charles TONGE (TONGUE) and his wife Mary HAMNETT.

I would like to get a little further up the Tonge tree but I seem to be stuck at Charles and have been for many years so any help in the right direction would be appreciated.

Charles TONGE (b. abt. 1815 in Gorton, Manchester/Cheadle CHS, d. 18 April 1902) m. Mary HAMNETT (b. abt 1813 in Ashton upon Mersey, CHS, d. 6 Oct 1874) on 18 May 1836 at St. Marys, Manchester. They lived in Ashton upon Mersey, Cheshire and had seven children that I know of: James, Elizabeth, Wilbraham, Emma, Martha, Joseph, Mary

I am a descendant of Wilbraham TONGE (b. 15 Jan 1841 in Ashton upon Mersey, d. 6 May 1925) m. Mary SHERRY on 15 Jan 1872 in Allahabad, India

I've included the following census info that I've stumbled across over the years:

Hi Again

I have looked on the 1871 census and posted below the results
Mary 58 born Ashton
Charles Tongue born:    Cheadle, Cheshire, England
Civil parish:    Ashton upon Mersey 
Ecclesiastical parish:    St Martin 
County/Island:    Cheshire 
 
Street address: Green Lane
Occupation:    labourer
     
Source information:    RG10/3683
Registration district:    Altrincham     
Folio:    72

it seems that the majority state Charles as being born Cheadle Cheshire, I would send an email request for a lookup in the parish registers of Cheadle for the years 1814-1818  recordoffice@cheshire.gov.uk

let us know how you get on
