Hi Billy's lad

Seeing as your ancestry is most likely seriously connected! I would sent a private message 'to harwoodhouse' poster as this thread is now 3 years old.

 hi there,
 thanks for the information, I will see what I can find out about them here, I had just been looking for the census records for the Arnolds...it seems that Bollington is the place where 99% of my fathers family came from as they lived there for generations and married into families who had lived there for generations only moving away when my grandfather was a boy...at least it should make that side of the family easy to find info on    kind regards...sue

I am new to trying to trace Harrops as I have just started trying to find out more about my great great grandmother's family.

My great great grandmother was ELLEN HARROP c. 1831 – 1874 born in Timperley, Cheshire -  the daughter of WILLIAM HARROP c. 1801 – 1875 born in Stretford, Lancashire (it would appear that his parents were EDWARD HARROP and ELLEN) and JANE WOOD c. 1801. It seems that JANE died and WILLIAM married MARY SUMNER (a second marriage for her also) and they had a child also called WILLIAM born c. 1846 in Timperley.

ELLEN married my great great grandfather - JAMES FREDERICK SLACK who was born in Broughton, Manchester/Salford.

It would be great to find out more about WILLIAM and JANE - and their parents? Did they or their parents have any siblings?

As well as ELLEN they had at least 3 other children:

MARY c. 1825
SARAH c. 1827
JOHN c. 1839

I have found the christenings for Ellen and Mary  and both took place at the Wesleyan Chapel in Altrincham.

At present it has not been possible to trace this line this any further but would like to know what happened to MARY, SARAH and JOHN - did they marry and have children etc?

Were there any further siblings born between 1831 and 1839 and what happened to William Jnr - I can find him on the census returns until 1871 and then he appears to vanish?

Any info that anybody can help me with will be much appreciated and it can be posted here or on my original posting (done before I knew about this thread) at:

Thank you for this although I did not really understand it all - I didn't get the bit about the "beta" search - it was all a little confusing.

Hi

Just explore the web site links you'll soon pick up how to use them

Beta. Full search
there are two boxes to put the year dates in for a search of all baptism, birth. marriage and burial/deaths

short search (advanced search)

If you want to search say just 'Baptism 'only one year box comes up and does not give a range of years as a full search does of all events.

you'll sus it out as you use them

click on the advanced tab in beta for short search for exact event ie baptism

Hugh Wallis his a hard link to understand and explain how to use it  but the more you experiment! the more it gets easier.

Hi there,

Looking for any assistance to trace the ancestry/siblings of John Henry Harrop, born abt 1872 in Salford, and married to Elizabeth Ann Symms in 1894 at St Simon's in Salford.

I have a suggestion that his parents may have been John H Harrop and Alice.

Thank you, AB
