MAJOR - John and Ann - HASLINGTON
« on: Thursday 03 April 08 08:14 BST (UK) »
Hi,
I am trying to find more information about my 3 G Grandparents, John and Ann MAJOR.
They had children,  Ellen, John, Thomas, George, Joseph and Samuel in Haslington from 1809 to 1823. According to the 1841 census they were from Cheshire and born c1791.
I have found a lot of MAJORs in nearby Acton and the same Christian names keep cropping up. I wonder if there could be a connection to my Haslington MAJORs.
So I am looking for a baptism of John Major 1787-1791 and a marriage of John Major to Ann ?? 1805 - 1809
I have found a  marriage of a John Major to an Ann Braidley in Wistaston in 1803 but I think that would be too early.
If anyone has any information I will be extremely happy.
 
Also, Does anyone know if it is  possible to buy Acton Parish records on microfiche?
 
Thanks for any help.

Hi Norfolkgal

Only just come across your message about John and Ann Major from Haslington, Cheshire.  These are also part of my direct line of ancestors from my grandfather who was born and bred in Haslington (my connection is John and Ann's son John born Haslington 1812).  Have you managed to get any further with the Major family.  Would love to hear from you and compare notes.

Kind regards

whitewards

This would suggest John Major bap. 03 Dec 1786 Barthomley Parents William and Martha.

George Major bap. 16 Apr 1815 Haslington John/Anne Major

Samuel Mager bap. 29 Jun 1823 Haslington John/Anne Mager

These are from Family Search - Record  Search

The following is a marriage from Bertram Merrill Marriage Index

William Major = Martha Wildblood 10/08/1786 Barthomley, St. Bertoline
William 35, Martha 17
Hollinshead, Davies, Cotterill, Ashford, Ravenscroft, Sharrett, Lewis, Needham, Bolshaw, Nield, Tomkinson, Bowyer

Also found at Haslington:

Ellen Major bap. 23 Apr 1809 John/Ann Major
John Major bap. 23 Feb 1812 John/Ann Major
Thomas Major bap. 25 Jul 1815 John/Anne Major

The marriage at Whitegate isn't likely to be the correct one John would be too young, also there are baptisms at Acton up to 1814 for parents John and Ann. The more probable marriage is the following at Wistaston:

John Major = Ann Braidley 08 Aug 1803 at which time John would be ~17
