Emigrants to Canada. John HUME LIGHTFOOT and wife Ann

[J.J.]

I tried to get back to where we were, on the igi or ancestral listings...and I can't even find the initial John Hume Lightfoot listing that got all this started...
i know I saw it, because it was the first listing I saw...
Can't find any with contributor's names, either and I was sure I saw one...
How is the searching into England going?

HELLO  J.J.

Yes, I tried to find him as well, but I believe Ann had died in around 1870 or so, I don't have the excate date at hand , but I believe that John got remarried and his name is in their with his new wife.  However, if you put in his daughter's name Elizabeth Ann Lightfoot, it will come up under IGI, -   LDS.  and his aneme and Ann Shore will pop up.  So its show that his daughter was born in 1862., therefore, he must have came to Canada between  1852 and 1862.  He was back home in 1870 .  But I have not been able to verify this,  I am still trying though.  He was only in Canadian Census one time.  and back than it don't show who was living in that house at that time with him.

But I did order their marriage certificate and found out John father name was John Lightfoot and he was a labourer,  It still don't give me much Info to find out his family though. 

Thanks for replying though.

Did it give an age for him so that you can figure out which is John hulme and which is Hulme???

[Shirley-Marie]

HI J.J.,

John Hulme and Hulme is the same person born in 1820, Cheshire, England.

I guess sometimes he used both and some time. just Hulme. 

There was another John Lightfoot but he was born around 1810 and he was a nephew as well.   I don't know if they have the same father or not.

Thanks
Shirley

If you ever findout who the James is, this may be his marriage...
 
James Lightfoot  married Ann Smith on Feb. 25, 1794 at Dunham-Bowdon Par

Perhaps a brother to your John Sr. that you now know about?

Hello J.J.,

Yes I have consider that, but I have not been able to find out anything on James.  I did however,  find out that Ann Smith parents are Samuel Smith  abd Alice Evans .

But that is all I have been able to find out. I had email Derrick Murdie at St. Mary Archives for Bowdon Church, but he said he had nothing.

So I had email him and asked how I could get a List of all lightfoots in that area.  i have not heard back.

Do you have any other suggestion. 

Thanks

Shirley

hELLO J.J.,

Thanks ever so much as I wasn't able to get anything, I even try  One World Tree, and found nothing. 

That help me a lot now. I will be able to go back farther.

Do you know  if any chance that they may have a nick name for Ann. like Dolly.

The reason why I asked is I had received info from the archives in Bowdon, that they had a Hannah who die on 30 aug. 1818 at the age of 22,  and the parent was James and Dolley.  Also their was a James age 23  and die on 23 Nov. 1824 no parent for him was mentioned.   This seems it could be the same but the ages doesn't match.  They had no other info on them.

Well I really appreciated the help and Thanks so very much.  Shirley

Hello J.J.

I  was so excited that you found James Lightfoot that I jumped the gun.

The James Lightfoot has to have a son name William Lightfoot born about 1805.  This one has a son name James, but not what I need.

So I am still lookingfor  James Lightfoot, that has a son William about 1805. 

So in your travels if you come across one you can let me know.  It is possible  if we find this james that one of the John Lightfoots maybe  a brother.

Also if you see a James Lightfoot b 1769 and married a lady name Dorothy B: 1761. with children I would love that info as well.

It is also possible that the above is one of the john lightfoot parents.
thanks
