Hi - we are beginners at this game but have managed to find some interesting information on-line which we would love to verify and wondered, from your message, if you could help at all. We live in the Languedoc area of France so it is very far for us to visit Lancashire often.

We are currently researching the Turkington side of our family and believe that it has been mis-transcribed as Tarkington in the 1841 Census records on-line. Having bought the original copy we can understand why !!! It also seems they could have been members of a workhouse ?? - lots of different people/names at the same address.

If the originals are in the Lancashire Record Office, maybe you could request sight of them and help clear up this issue ? Would this normally cost anything ?

Any chance of just coming back to us and telling us if any of this is a possibility please ? We could then take it from there.

Thanks, in advance, regards, Ian & Maggie Parkinson

Hi Dotty,
Please If you could look up ...c1832 Samuel Schofield QSP/2957/152. Bill of prosecution. He was sent to Tasmania for stealing a coat.
Dont know what info it gives. But I'm trying to find his parents or address.
Many Thanks, anything would be most gratefully accepted.

Hi Dotty, I am looking for a marriage c. 1845 between Robert Wilson/Robert James Wilson and Mary Smitton. I have already discovered one marriage for a Mary Smitton in 1845, but it was to a George Hubbard. I am sure there was a marriage between Robert and Mary because I have Mary's death cert. dated 1864 and it names "Robert Wilson, coachman & domestic servant"  as her husband. This tallies with other information I have. The couple had a son Robert (born 1845 in Litherland) and his birth cert. states his parents as being Robert Wilson and Mary Wilson, formerly Smitton. I think that the marriage may have taken place in the Liverpool area but it is quite possible that  it took place elsewhere in Lancashire as Robert had other lancashire connections (Overton, near Morcambe). Also, it might be that  the marriage took place in a catholic church. Don't know if this is relevant. Any help much appreciated.

Hi Dotty,

Many thanks for your offer! I have recently found the marriage details of William Schofield to Mally Holt. They were married at St Chad's in Rochdale on 4 Jan 1819 and they were describes as 'of this parish'. I'm now looking for a birth for William. Is this too little information for you to be able to trace him?

Best wishes

Roger

Please can anyone tell me if Dotty is still doing looks ups. She hasn't replied  to any request since 2007.
Or how do we get the request to another page?

[dotty]

To all concerned I apologise if I have not replied to any requests for look-ups Somehow I haven't picked up on them but if anyone notices my postings they have been things I done at the LRO just taking the posting from the board so my interest in doing lookups hasn't dwindled.If I don't acknowledge your posting please just email and give me a nudge.
