[Damkat13]

Hi All

Please help me!!! I have traced my family back to Joseph Thomas born 1815 in Bolton Le Moors Lancashire. We believe his family info should be on the St Peters Parish Records. I am in Australia and am finding it very difficult to get any further info. The following is what I have so far.

Joseph Thomas - Born 1815
Married - 03 April 1836 to Elizabeth Greenhalgh
Had son Robert Thomas 1839 Had other children no names or dates.
Died - March 1876
All events on Bolton.

Elizabeth Greenhalgh - Born about 1815 in Bolton
Married - 03 April 1836 to Joseph Thomas in Bolton
Had son Robert Thomas 1839 Had other children no names or dates.
Died - ?

Robert Thomas - Born Nov 1839
Christened - 10 Nov 1839
Married - Dec 1858 to Elizabeth Mayoh
Had daughter Ellen Thomas born 1860.
Moved to Australia in early 1864
Died in Australia.

Elizabeth Mayoh - Born ?
Married - Dec 1858 to Robert Thomas
Had daughter Ellen Thomas born 1860.
Moved to Australia in early 1864
Died in Australia 30 April 1911

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Kristy
Could this be your family living in Back Rothwell Street Gt Bolton?
Joseph born 1814  born Lydsley[I think this may be Tyldsley]
carder in mill
Elizabeth born 1815 Lydsley carders wife
Robert born 1840 born Lydsley scholar at home
John born 1842  born Bolton scholar
James born Bolton scholar
Edward born Bolton scholar
Dorothy Greenhalgh born 1834 Bolton frame tender cotton mill
Richard Greenhalgh born 1831  Bolton piercer cotton
Charles  Greenhalgh born 1809 Bolton excavator
Jamrs Young born 1826 Bolton blacksmith.

It wouldn't surprise me if the Tyldsley birth shouldn't have been shown as Bolton because on later census they are and the family above these entries were also Lyldsley  and the Tomas family were just dittoed.If you need any more help I will be going to Lancashire records office on Tuesday just list the things you want looking up

Hi Dotty

Thank you for taking the time to respond I really do appreciate it. That is my family alright, Thank you very much. If it is not to much trouble I would appreciate anything you can find out for me but in particular I would really apreciate if you could check for Joseph's birth his Parents names and anything about them. Also Elizabeth Greenhalgh's birth and her parents. And any marriages, births and Deaths of Edward, John and James. I would appreciate this so much it is a little hard trying to find information when you live in
Australia. If I can help in anyway with Australian look ups please let me know.

Thanks you

Hi Dotty

Thanks for replying I really appreciate you taking the time to help me. The second family are they Thomas' or Greenhalgh's and if so was the head of the family Thomas Thomas. I haven't been able to get any other information. I would really appreciate it if you can please check for me.

Thanks

Hi Dotty

Thanks for replying. I dont think ever of these are my family as Elizabeth was the Greenhalgh although she married Joseph in 1839 so maybe it is? I dont suppose there is any way to link them. Someone told me there a lot of Thomas' on the St Peters Parish records for Bolton, If you dont mind and are not to busy, would you be able to check up Joseph's parents and marriage maybe that will shed some light on the Greenhalgh situation. I really do appreciate your help but if you are to busy I will understand.

Thanks

on the IGI there is a Baptism for BETTY GREENHALGH 1/4/1820 at Leigh which would probably been the church she would have been christened at from Tyldsley parents Thomas and Betty--just a thought

Hi Dotty

Thanks for replying. It is possible but that would mean the Census 1851 and 1861 Census ages are incorrect is this possible. According to the census she was born about 1814/1815.

Thanks
