Emigrants to Canada. John HUME LIGHTFOOT and wife Ann

[J.J.]

Oh, I am so confused...i thought you said that William and John's father was also a John...and that you weren't sure who the James in the 1851 was? Did I miss something since then, I guess?  Haha...hard to follow sometimes, when there are so many other names in my head!!!  J.J.

Hi  J.J.,

SORRY TO CONFUSE YOU.  I will try and clarify it for you.

First their was James Lightfoot born 1769  d: 1848 and who married Dorothy somebody  B 1761 died 1838.  We don't know who their children are yet.

Possiblity , but dont know that John 1810, Betty, 1811, and William. but don't have no info to come to this conclusing except that they are all buried in the same grave yard, although at one end is James and his wife  and betty and john , the other end of grave yard is William and his family.
The other thing is William's father name is James,  but it is a common name so who knows.

Now we have William (1805)and wife MaryAnn (Nield) Lightfoot
children :
Dorothy 1839  Dorothy who has a child name            Ann and also married Peter Shaw.

James 1841 my grandfather who married in Canada and Died in Canada.

Mary Ann 1844 who died 1845

Thomas  1846 died 1846 

Now in the census 1841
There was John 31 abt 1810  Head of House

Betty  29 b: 1811 d 1882       Sister
John (Hulme)  nephew

Now what we are looking for is William  above born  1805  his father who is James  abt. 1775 ??  likely Bowdon ,Cheshire.

Also I was told Most likely John and Betty , and William was all one family . Father  James somebody.

Also John  Hulme b 1820 his father who is John Lightfoot. is a possibilty a nephew to William  Lightfoot.


I hope this clarify more helps.

will send what I found by p.m. as it makes it more confusing to add too many names to the thread...

Good Morning J.J.,

Hello I am so sorry that you are confusied I went back and try to clarify it for you. 

Thanks for the other but the father their is John,a Williams father is James, so thank won't work, but thanks a lot for your efford.

As you will see the names seems to match , but no proof.
thanks shirely

[J.J.]

Oh, you hadn't mentioned the 1841 relationship to head of house in the earlier posting. What was James down as, then?   How did you find out that he was parent to William? I think you have found some answers, lately and thought that you had put them on here...
Did you ever make the Gresty connection?  J.J.

[Shirley-Marie]

Hello J.J.,

Sorry , but we are not sure if James is the right James, we are only guessing.  that he could be the father of Williams , since his father is James.

Derrick, at the archives, said it is a guess, but no proff.   It was wher all these names came up together, and are buried in the same cemetery although not near each other.

now for Mary Gresty, all it say through the censys is a niece to Betty and John.

Other then that we know nothing.
That is why I have been searching to see who James and Dorothy kids were .

Also William's parents who is James as well. but cann't find anything.

Does this clear up any more.

Hello J.J.,

Yes I do have it, I had order that as well, I also have their son's  James birth certificate.

Yes, I have order any one that I though might help me get to the bottom, which is Williams ' Parents, but so far all I got was his Father James Lightfoot. live at Tailsworth.  Which is not much.

But I thank you very much,
Shirley
