I've been following this topic from the beginning - but realised it was not my Fred Law - well my wife's actually
. - who died in WWI
I have three Fred Laws- grandfather, father and son. The 'son' died in 1945. He was a printer and stationer in Manchester. His father Fred was born in Rochdale in 1839 and died in 1899.
His father Fred was born 'over the top' in Yorkshire in 1816, married a Sarah AINSWORTH in Rochdale in 1838 and died in 1880.
So LAW and Rochdale connections but no CLEGG.
A lot of research on these LAWs was done by another relative who died some time ago so I have brothers and sisters names for all three Fredericks.
The Fred LAW who is the subject of the topic was born c1888 with a father and mother of James and Alice (both born c 1840) - see earlier posting. This would put him akin to my last
two generations. My first Fred Law didn't have a son called James Law. - his children were all born in the period 1839 to 1852 though.
This oldest Fred Law had five brothers:
Thomas died 1865 buried at Maltby, YKS
George died in infancy
Edward died 1890. His daughter married his brother Fred's son ie the middle Fred LAW
Benjamin Law - nothing more known
John Hague Law married <name not known>. He died 1861.
I suppose there could be a link but James is not a forename I have seen.
If you wish more details or questions please get in touch.
Best wishes
