Ellisons, Dykes, and Jacksons in Manchester

[OnyxCougar]

Hi again,
You are right re Bury- I am only a few miles from all the places! However Bury would not normally be Manchester whereas the others would.
Here we go:
Free BMD has a birth for Prudence- June quarter 1879.
There are quite a few Dykes families in the area around Audlem and there are two Josephs born around the same time - you find them on the 1881 census.
1881 census has Joseph, Eliza and children aged 7,5,3 and 1 (Prudence), living at Chapel End Audlem.
1891 has them at nearby Buerton village- Joseph 39 yrs        Buerton
Eliza   41   Whitchurch
Florance 9
Jasper 7
Frederick 5
elizabeth 3
George 1  all children born Buerton
The first time I looked I dismissed them as wrong family but I think they must be with a second set of children - all older ones presumably in work.
Although there are quite a few Dykes around- Prudence is the only one and I think that is her. I don't suppose people were two fussy about employing at 12 year old and of course the area is right for her meeting Thomas. What do you think?

So you think that Joseph and Eliza had

1. William [1874]
2. Joseph  [1876]
3. John     [1878]
4. Prudence  [1880]

all in Audlem, and the all the kids got jobs and moved out, even youngest of that batch (Pru) moved in with the people in Harpurhey when she was 11 or 12, then Joseph and Eliza moved to Buerton village and had:

5. Florance [1882]
6. Jasper   [1884]
7. Frederick  [1886]
8. Elizabeth  [1888]
9. George [1890]

? Is that right?

Can you give me the 1891 census notations for that?

Hi - sorry I forgot it! RG 12/ 2858 district  folio 41 pg 6

Yes at the moment it does seem as though they had one 'family' followed by another .
There is a Joseph Dykes born c 1875 - a farm servant at RG 12/ 2858 folio 45 page 13 - in Buerton - says born Buerton but it is all same area.
you can request online- http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/ explains it.
Good luck

Small breakthrough on the Jackson line:

My father gave me the birthdate of

John Stanley Jackson as 10-10-04,

I have found a John Stanley Jackson in the FreeBMD Birth Index for Dec 1904,

District: Chorlton, Volume 8c, Page 853.

I need to find out how to get my hands on that record.  We know John Stanley's father's name is Frederick. 

I have checked Lancashire BMD, and have a John S Jackson in 1904 (M/49/445)

Subdistrict: Middleton
Registers at: Rochdale

Is this the same place?  I know there is a Rochdale in Manchester...

Help?

Hi

Try this site you may be lucky in finding photos of the street they lived in in Manchester.

Seems to be a technical hitch with it at the moment, but should be working again on Monday being a goverment site.

No luck on any of the streets I have for my Grandmother's generation of Ellisons.

Also, my father says he has pictures of relatives and places (like his Dykes granparents).  When I get my hands on them, where can I send a copy of the photo to for other people to be able to access them?  Is that something people can use?

Also, searching on ancestry.co.uk in the marriage indexes, I'm looking at the search results, and they give the first and last name on the pages, but many of these names on the search results are not the first and last names on the pages.  (Like the search results say Daye to Griffin, and the actual name is Gaye to Griffin).  Is there a way to let them know about the error and get it fixed?  It really returns a bunch of pages that are not relevant.

Hi

Using that link I have found photos of this street

3. Prudence Evelyn Ellison    b.  6 Apr 1905, Wembury St. Harpurhey (?)

You need to type it "wembury street", as this street is only 4/5 streets from me I can tell you half the buildings were pulled down many years ago.

 http://www.manchester.gov.uk/libraries/arls/index.htm try these if you get them photos. I dont know of any other place that would like copies, but saying that we do have a very photographic club in Moston "just up the road" maybe they would be interested.

Ancestry.co.uk sends shivers down peoples spines, not used it for a long time but I think there is a way to tell them of an error ---- but dont quote me on it ---- 

Regards
Ken
