 :)Hello Dotty,

What an extremely kind offer.  If you are still visiting the Records Office I would appreciate a look up please.

I am looking for a birth and a marriage, in Wigan.  I am not sure but it could be St Georges, Wigan as this is where some of the later generation were baptised.

Firstly, birth of THOMAS FAIRCLOUGH abt 1827.  Mother's name Alice.  I would like to know mother's maiden name if possible and father's name.

Information from 1841 census:

Alice FAIRCLOUGH age 40,
John age 20,
Thomas age 14
Jane age 14
Abrham age 7

Also: Marriage of Thomas FAIRCLOUGH to Mary around 1846 Wigan.  I am interested in Mary's maiden name if possible.

Thank you in advance for your time and effort in doing these look-ups.

Best wishes

Jenny White

Hello Dotty,

How are you managing to cope with your own kind offer? I hope you are not regretting this.....

But, if you still have any energy left, I would love to know the details of this marriage.

Hopefully it will unlock a French/Scottish/Manchester mystery which I just cannot unravel.

Here goes:

MARRIAGE

1878:

Liverpool:  St. Peter   (REF: 2122LP/69/94)

DAVIS           John William
&
DEWAR         Margaret

I am hoping that the details of the parents will lead me in the correct direction.

The couple themselves are not in my direct line, otherwise I would buy the certificate, but I am hoping to prove that the mother or father of J.W. Davis was the brother or sister of my great-grandfather or great-grandmother.

(It's a very long story!!)

Thank you so much for your kind offer

Hello Dotty

   **Thank you so very much**! What a Fantastic offer. I really appreciate the time & effort this takes to help us.
If you can help me, could you please look-up for me

the birth of Sarah JONES Feb 15 1901 father Roland T JONES mother Mary Ann ALLPORT. The Address at the time of birth of Sarah was 3H 2nd D Ashfield St Liverpool, sub district of St. Martin's. Liverpool parish


I've had a terrible time trying to locate the marriage of Mary Ann Allport b 17 Aug 1852 in Masbro/Kimberworth Yorkshire to this Roland Thomas JONES. In the 1901 census, Mary Ann is listed as married, but husband is not there, nor is Sarah recorded. Rumour had it that Mary Ann changed her name (it had to have been between 1891-1901) but I haven't a clue what it could have been. A request of the Record Office turned up nothing on a marriage. This is definately one of my most confusing of ancestors. 
I know nothing of Roland, as he left his wife & child, destitute in Liverpool. (so if married, there must be a divorce somewhere?). I would dearly love to find out anything at all about my Great-Grand-father R.T.Jones.
(yes...Mary Ann was older when Sarah was born, and were it not for info that my grand-mother(Sarah) had of her mother, I wouldn't believe it!

Thank you so very much!  Ivorie

I go to the Lancashire Records Office quite often normally Wednesdays.If anybody wants a Look-Up please  tell me exactly what you want and I will see what I can do.

Hi Dotty

If you are still offering look-ups, we would really love to crack this one!

I have an Ellen Sutton who died between 1819 and 1825.  We know this because her last child was born 1819 and her husband got re-married 1825 and a Widower. 

The only problem we have is that Crosby library has only limited resources for the area we are looking for.  That is Melling, Halsall and Maghull.  If we find her death entry we may just find where her children were Christened!  We know this sounds back to front but, we were thinking that looking for 1 entry would be easier than 4!  We know she got married in St Thomas C.E. Melling by License.  William, her husband, lived in, Thornton, Sefton from about 1829, his second marriage was there, but when his first 2 children from the second marriage were Christened at Sefton Church they were still living at Maghull.  We have seen all the entries when we went on an open day.

We have done all the Church Yards but as you know very little is left of the gravestones from that time.  We had planned to try and get to Preston but, my work load dictates that it may be a further 6 months before we can!  There is no rush at all and we are really grateful if you can do this for us.

Thanks alot for this Dotty.

Hi Dotty,
If you could manage a look-up for me I'd appreciate it (I'm located in Southampton).
I'm after the marriage of George Arstall to Alice Nelson. A friend has found an entry for George Arstol in the Deane Parish Register on November 3rd 1814. Unfortunately, for 4 or 5 entries (including this one!) the spouses name has been omitted. I'm hoping the Bishops Transcripts for Parish Church of Deane might have the full entry. I believe the film number is DRM/2/67-76.
Many thanks,
Tony

Hello Dotty,
You are very kind to offer this help.  I am keen to find the details of a will of Richard Thompson of Darwen, Blackburn.  I know he died around 1801-4 but need the exact date to send off for will.  I have already tried the Borthwick with no luck.
Many thanks,
Elaine
