Gosling/Rowland/Bradley
« on: Tuesday 04 April 06 12:57 BST (UK) »
Struggling to find a definite birth record for my gg-grandfather William Gosling, I've run across an interesting coincidence, and wonder if anyone can help me out...

William GOSLING is recorded on all censuses as born c1826, Macclesfield.

IGI has an extracted record for the baptism of "William GOSLING or ROWLAND" at Bosley on 26 Feb 1826 - mother Anne GOSLING.  (No other Gosling or Rowland births with same batch number - Bosley isn't far from Macclesfield if you want to baptise an illegitimate child!)

On the 1841 census, my William (aged 15) is living in Hazel Grove, in the same household as William and Hannah BRADLEY and their 1 yr-old child.  Hannah is 35 years old.

A William BRADLEY m. Sarah Ann ROWLAND at St Mary, Stockport in 1840. (Cheshire BMD) 

Am I reading too much into this?  Before I shell out for the Bradley/Rowland marriage cert on the off-chance, does anyone have access to Bosley PRs to see if the original baptismal entry has any more detail than the IGI?

Would appreciate your thoughts on this one - is Sarah Ann/Anne/Hannah the same person?  ??? ???

Hi Rambler,
 I can't help with the birth certificate but I can look up the marriage. If you can wait until the weekend I can have a look at the entry at Stockport library and let you know the details.
Regards,
Pat.

Hi MR

         You can email the Cheshire RO with the birth details, as you have a name date and place they are unlikely to charge anything for checking it out, there is a link at the bottom of this post.

good luck

Thanks Peter - I didn't know that, and will give it a try.

Hi Rambler,
Here are the marriage details,
William Bradley, bachelor, of full age, occupation labourer, residence at time of marriage Dukinfield,
Father's name Peter Bradley, occupation Farmer.
Married at St Mary's Parish Church Stockport on the  21st September 1840, Page 135, Entry No 269. to
Sarah Ann Rowland, of full age, spinster, residence at time of marriage Dukinfield, Father's name John Rowland, occupation Farmer.
Witnesses, William Higinbotham [or could be Heginbotham] and James Wild
Curate, E Hawells.
I don't think it fits in with anything that you are looking for but you can at least discount it now.
Regards,
Pat.

Thanks a lot Pat - looks as if that one's out of the window, then.  Blast!

Back to the drawing board....   ???

Further checking reveals that in the 1841 Census next door to William and Sarah A in Rowlands Buildings is one John Rowland (Brickmaker) 65 and Sarah 60
William Bradleys father Peter was definitely a Farmer, but was Sarahs ?????
