Emigrants to Canada. John HUME LIGHTFOOT and wife Ann

[J.J.]

Wait...I have found something...here:
International Genealogical Index - British Isles

It says Ann shore married "John" Lightfoot in 1848

maybe he used his middle name for the census? More info here:
http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/frameset_search.asp

It says John on the BMD also...so this is John Hulme...
a name switcher!!!

Hello again

Yes I just remember when I first seem his name he was using Hulme, although I also have seen it as Hume,  and sometimes as John Hume Lightfoot . and it appears as if it is all the same. However, when I check it out  on the BMD all I could see none that was married to a John or Hume or Hulme.

But maybe you are looking at something different.

Thanks

hint...don't always search the obvious....I always try all names involved, as databases can be funny that way...I ALWAYS put in less than what I know...
A very good genealogist taught me that "less is more" with databases...
so I seldom use exact dates...and often match only last names as givens are
so often reversed...as in your case and mine!!!

My family liked their middle names better!

So use Ann for the search and you will find it...

[J.J.]

Your exact dates and other info are on that I.G. I. listing...so I hope you checked it out!!!! Yes...use Ann Shore, as it won't be under Hulme...!

Wait...I know what you are not doing on the BMD...you need to hit the blue number link to the right for a list of possible partners....

Hello J.J.,

Well I tried the Free BMD, it got me excatly, I think what I need.  it gave me John Lightfoot, and than when I click on the page it gave me Ann as well., as being on the same page.

Before I was looking in the Lancashire, and checking out Manchester their.   When I did it that way it never came up.  I guess they just haven't got them all in.   

Thanks for Telling me about the Free BMD.  I though they were both the same. 

I have Email a person at Machester Cathedral where I had tried to order it before, but wasn't able to, the new info I  Hope will do the trick and I will hear back soon.

Thanks again
Shirley

Well, do remember to not put so much information in.... sometimes what we know
isn't what is there... My ancestor has different answers for his location of birth on
the censuses...  I see that you can't get onto the Family search I.G.I. as it has been down fsince I replied.  That is a wonderful site, and again...many things
 must be tried to get the most out of what is on there...one kick at the tire is never enough

Hello J.J.

Is I.G.I. the same as Free BMD  or how do I get to it,
or is it apart of the LDS , if so I have tried that and I did get a print out of James Lightfoot 0, Dunham, Cheshire, England. but it didn't give any source or anything else.  but I am going to try  World wide family tree and see if there is anything their.
 
Thanks
Shirley

Yes, the I.G.I is part of the LDS site, family search. I will see if I can find you some contacts when the site is back up!   J.J.
