Thank you Dottie.  It is a super site.  So much hard work must have gone into it.

If you should go to try to do look up for me, would it be possible to look for marriage of Elixabeth Holme and William Davis abt 1849 when I believe their first child was born.

As there is a Baptism on the Lancashire online parish clerk site for Elizabeth Holme at St Mary the Virgin Blackburn, 18/2/1827, they could have been married in the same church??

Thanks again

Regarding your request unfortunatley after the 1901 census  it can be quite hard tracing families.However I did look on the Padiham 1901 census but couldn't see Charles.
Have you got details of William and Margaret on the 1901 census,where were they, was Charles still with them then?
Do you know what Charles's occupation was  -might be able to find out a little more from trade directories.
On the Free BMD site there is a Charles  marrying in the Blackburn area in 1908 could this be him? Please get back to me and I will see if I can help further.Because of holidays it will now be mid June before I go to the Records Office again

Dear Dottie

I do appreciate your time in trying to find the marriage for me.  It is so frustrating when the microfiche is blurred.  From your information, about her birth being registered on the Lancashire Parish Clerk Website, I now believe her surname was Holme and not Holmes.  In fact looking at my great grandfather's birth certificate, her surname is written as Holme with a slight line at the end which I assumed was where the 's' had been cut off.

I would be really grateful if you could possibly confirm where you found the marriage registered on BMD Lancashire (year, district quarter, and under which names.)

I have looked on BMD Lancashire and I am unable to find it.  On 1837 I found a marriage of Elizabeth Holme in 1849 Sept Quarter XXV with a district which was written as W/Ward.  However, I couldn't find a William Davis with the same details to connect them.  (Would you know what District W/Ward is?) 

Thank you for your time

Hi

Wondered if it would be possible that you maybe able to find a birth for Priscilla Gander 1872/3 in Liverpool, her father was James Gander, anything for this family would be great, this is the biggest brickwall in my tree and until I can find any more info on Priscilla I am at a standstill

Thanks for your kind offer,

Jane
