Yes Anna but there was nothing showing on the fiches.Do you think that there was a difinite will?Did he die first -then the will may be under her name?

Hi Dotty, Thanks very much for taking the time and trouble to check for me, am not sure if there is a definite will, am just looking into it to be honest. John's wife Sarah died 1 February 1875 in Middleton, would be very grateful if you were able to lookup if she left a will or not for me.

Thanks

Anna

Hi Dotty
Very kind offer to look up at the records office in Preston. I am looking for Christopher Maudsley born in Whittington on about 1786. Whittington is in the Blackburn Diocese (just). Any MAudsleys from that register would be of interest. Thanks for your time.

Hi Dotty

If you get time on one of your visits to the record office would you be able to look for a baptism record please. I have looked on IGI and there are 2 possibles so I am trying to work out which one is right.

John Pemberton christened St Helen's Lancs
either 29 Jan 1797 father Samuel
or 7 Sept 1797 father John

John (1797) married a Matha Clifton in London 1817, their known children so far were:

Samuel James
Lydia
William
John
Joseph
Mary
Jane

So both Samuel and John feature in children's names so I cant do a name association, hopefully a mother's name might give a clue! Any help wuld be really appreciated and many thanks for your kind offer

Shirl
John Pemberton born 10th January father Samuel Glassmaker living Eccleston
John Pemberton born 6th June father John Gent living S which I think is Sutton

I noted this just in case
John son of John collier baptised 15th Jan 1768

No mothers names mentioned

Thanks again
