Hi Chesters,

Thank you for the lead on Mally Holt. I had already found that record but am trying to eliminate possible errors. Mally Holt/Hall married William Schofield but he died in 1832. Mally remarried Joseph Dale in 1834 and they had a son, Peter, whose birth was registered on 23 March 1839. On his birth certificate his mother's name is given as Mally Dale formerly Hall (see attachment). However, although it looks like Hall, it could be Holt and that is why I am searching for a possible marriage between William Schofield and Mally Hall. Mally and Joseph also had a daughter, Ann, in 1835. If anyone could look at her birth certificate for me, that may confirm Mally's maiden name. Incidentally, could the christening of Matty Holt in 1797 be Mally Holt and are the parents shown as Groves and Sally Holt?

Any help in looking up possible records would be much appreciated.

There wouldn't be a birth cert for Mary Ann 1835. Registration didn't start until 1837. You need to find a bapt.
On Lancashire BMD Peter Dale 1839. Mums maiden name says HOLT.

Hi Dotty,

Thank you for your kind offer.

If you have time on your next visit, would it be possible for your check if they hold the baptisms for St Augustine's Church, Chorlton-on-Medlock.  I have checked at Manchester library and the baptism records between 1826 and 1856 appear to be missing.

Specifically, I am looking for the baptism records of John Grant (born c1852/53) and Michael Grant (born c1854/55).  The parents are Patrick Grant and Catherine Cox.  To further complicate matters then could be recorded under the following names GRANT, GRANTEN, GRALTON or GRANTHAM.

The marriage of the Patrick GRALTON/Catherine COX took place at St Augustine's in July 1848 and so far I have definitely linked 3 children - twins Patrick GRANT and Charles GRANT who were born and died in 1857 and Thomas GRALTON who was born in 1864.  The name GRANTEN was used on a rent book for the house where the twins were born and the name GRANTHAM appeared on the death certificate for their father.

I would really appreciate any help you are to give.

Thank you and best regards,

Luzzu
