Hi Paul.  If this is the right Charles Young who was a porter on the 1901 census, is it possible he could have become a slater at this age, 29?  It definitely states on my father's birth certificate that Charles Young was a Slater Journeyman by trade.

its possible, but anyway i can check it out in local directories, when you buy/check the certificate for Martha&Sidney it should clear things up a bit more

Thanks Paul.  I really do appreciate all you're doing to help us.  I think I'm gonna give up for the night and go to bed. Nite and God bless.

Mary,
i have just spent the morning at Bath library with little success i am afraid, all i was able too find was an entry in the 1910 directory of Bath at 38 avon street for Charles young-Occupation-HAWKER.
Also living there were William Cross-CARTER and Walter Boswell-CARTER.
I searched 5 years either side of this date but found nothing. I think that they probably just stayed in Bath as a stop of point on there way northwards via Bristol, it was and still is a major junction for travellers by train/coach etc.

Mary,
I suggest that you should search directories in Salford Library/record office starting in 1934 and working backwards, too try and establish when your family arrived there, this at least will give you more of an idea when they got there.

An ancestor of mine, Daniel Earley,born in Bath, is listed in the 1841 census, aged ten, as living in Avon Street, in a household of eleven. The head of the household is listed as Charles Francis, chimney sweep and I think Daniel was a sweep also.

In the 1871 census, Daniel states that he was born in Bath Market.

Can anyone give me any information on where the market would have been in about 1831 and what sort of market it would have been?

In 1841 it would appear his father Thomas Erly,45 (labourer) and sister Charlotte (15)were also in Avon Street, in a different house.

Earley at various times has been spelt Earley/Erly/Early/Hurley and Aerley.
