Hamnett of Cheshire
« on: Monday 10 November 08 12:40 GMT (UK) »
I wish to trace baptisms of children born at Chorley, near, I believe, Alderley.
The details I have are as follows:-

Surname Hamnett or similar.

Mary Hamnett born c 1840
Hannah Hamnett born c 1842
John Hamnett born c 1844
Joseph born c 1848
Robert born c 1850

All shown on census as born at Chorley.
Their parents may be Thomas and Betty Hamnett.
According to a death certificate I have purchased from the Registrar at Macclesfield
Betty Hamnet died18 May, 1855 at Chorley. T. Hamnet, present at death, was the informant for the death.

Please can you assist with a record of her burial as well as the above baptisms

1851 has a Hannah age 9 at HO 107 2162 243 14 as dtr of  Hannah.
cant see another one of that age.

Which census did you get the names and approx ages from? I cant see Births in the index which coincide well with these ages.

Have you got Betty (or Thomas) on 1851?

1861 is indexed Hammett - and that is what image looks like

School Lane Chorley

Thomas widower 50 Gardener bn Ch
Hannah 19 housekeeper bn Toft
John 15 bn Ch
Joseph 14 bn Ch
Robert 10 bn Ch
Charles 7 bn Ch
Thomas Jackson father wid 77

I wonder if Thomas Jackson is actually stepfather or fatherin law to explain name difference?

One more child - born not long before Betty dies by look of it.

Contacted the Registrar at Macclesfield. I am hoping they will find a common maiden name for the 3 children listed on Cheshsire bmd for Alderley and be able to supply me with a marriage certificate for their parents. Still searching for the burial of Betty Hanet who died 18 May, 1855, at Chorley, Alderley,  whilst in Labour.
