Looking for info on Harriet BOOTH (nee CROWDER) born 14 Jan 1842  Waters, Macclesfield, Chesh and David BOOTH born 1834 in Macc. They were married 19 June 1865 in Parish Church, Prestbury. She was a Silk Piecer and he a Silk Weaver.
They had 4 children; Mary A b 1868, Sarah b 1870 (both Macc) William b 1871 in Rushton Meadow, Macc and Annie b 1873 Macc. All were Silk Weavers. I have been unable to find deaths for any of them. "The Girls" died sometime before WW2 and lived at Catherine St, Macc. The son William I have lost after 1891 census!
My Father remembers the girls as old ladies, when he visited them as a small child (he is now 90) they never married.
Any info however small would be a help as it might point me in the right direction for my very big brick wall of Harriets parents William & Hannah Crowder from Ireland!!
Many thanks

Hi June
            I have searched all the households in and around the Brook Street area in the 1841 census without finding your Parry family,sorry, it looks as if Chester records office is your only hope of finding his details  https://www.cheshire.gov.uk/recoff/eshop/copfront.htm

Seaching Runcorn Cheshire for the HARRISON Family.

All I have is Samuel Harrison born c1829 and his father named GEORGE  no mothers name and no siblings.

When Samuel married in 1862 his father was an Engine driver.

[peterbennett]

Hi
    Can you tell me where and when he married. If he is still in Runcorn in the early census I may be able to find him with parents.
    The other alternative is the records office again.
