Windmill Square - Macclesfield

Hi irishistory,

Possible marriage for you:

John HULME, wvr [weaver?] m Jane CANCLIFFE, sp 4 March 1833 at Prestbury, both of Macclesfield

If any of their children were born after the start of civil registration in 1837 the birth certificate would confirm if this is the right marriage.

Hi irishistory,

I assume you have the 1851 census, ref HO107 2159/500 Page 16 showing them in Macclesfield.  It shows Jane as born in Butterton, Staffs, but it doesn't mean that she stayed there - her family could have moved to Cheshire at any time.

I'd suggest the birth certificate of one of the children to be certain - maybe Rebecca?

If you go here: http://fsbeta.familysearch.org/s/ and put in John Hulme with wife Jane on the advanced search, you will be able to see the image of the marriage in the parish register.

Hi Irishistory

On the 4th March 1821 at Prestbury, I have a William Swarbrooke, Silk Worker, (1st Cousin 4 times removed) marrying an HONORIA HULME, spinster.
Both of Macclesfield.

I wonder if she came from the same line as the one you are enquiring about

Hi, I'm new to this website.  I have just been following the thread and wondering a couple of things:

1) Do you know where is Wind Mill Yard, Prestbury?  What was it like in 1841?

2) My g.g.grandmother's parents, and later she, were Provision Dealers at 22 & 24 Fountain St in 1861.  They had been doing this for at least 20 years.  By 1891 g.g.gran has moved to 34 Fountain St, doing the same thing up until her death in 1909. 
Can you give me any details on this street and/or where I might find info about the types of businesses that existed and in particular pub owners? 
G.g.gran seems to have been quite a good business woman.  She was born Rosanna Salt, then married George Ward, and when widowed, married Thomas Fytton/Fitton.

I know little of Prestbury, though I did go to see the Church
Macclesfield people had for years to go to Prestbury to marry

Have you checked out Prestbury on Old maps website?

Hi Tapestry

Welcome to Rootschat and the Cheshire Board.

As far as i am aware there is not a Windmill Yard in Prestbury, it is in Macclesfield, and was next to St Peters Church where many of my ancestors are buried.
We lived in Fountain St according to the 1841 census, but then most of the family seemed in later census to have business premises in Windmill Yard, Windmill Street and Mill Street - mostly provision dealers or cake and Bakery shops.  Anther relative George, although shown as living in Windmill Yard is listed as a Publican up until his death and then his wife Mary takes over the licence; whilst another relli Henry was a Publicans Servant in Chestergate in the 51 census.

Have you seen the local History books on Macclesfield connected with the Pubs and Alehouses

I live in the land down under, so can only access info that's available online.    
If I were to make a visit to Macclesfield, what is the best place to go for historic details?  I'm trying to track down info about g.g.gran's mother called Jane.  She was born in 1790s and married about 1816.  But this predates Census data.

...Apart form the Jacksons, I have Mary Ann Lomas daughter of John and Hannah Lomas but have not traced back further than that.

There seems to be more connections with Lomas family, as James Jackson , my Edwards borther could have had a first marriage to Ellen Lomas...

Any progress with the ancestry of the above Mary Ann LOMAS?
