Hi,
Not sure you can help, I am tracing to find the birth certificate for William Ainsworth b.1841 Livesey, Blackburn. DOB obtained from census records so could be vague. I cannot find the family on 1841 census.

Unfortunately his marriage cert says of full age in 1878 so no clue there! He died 1st Dec 1904 aged 64 and was in Blackburn at the time (have cert)

His father's name was George Ainsworth and I think his mother was called Jenny/Gennie Seddon but this is not confirmed? Siblings were Thomas b.1839 in Brindle, Betty b.1843 in Houghton , Grace b. 1846, Margaret b. 1850, Ann Elizabeth b.1851 and George b.1858 (all born in Lancs)

The GRO have checked 1840-1842 and came up with nothing. I wondered if maybe parish records would give baptism dates which could confirm place/date of birth.

Any help greatly appreciated. Thank you Dawn

I had a look on the 1851 census and noticed they had a visitor with surname Cotton.  Could this be the marriage?

Justinexyz,
Thank you so much- wow all that in half an hour!

Can I just check last two children both called George? Assume one died but just want to be sure not typo?

I did have a potential  mother as Jane so could well be correct but had a Genny on the 1851 census as his wife which is pre-birth of some of the children. Methinks need to go back and check all of what I have. I suppose Janie could sound like Genny.

This is my first time on Rootschat so wasn't sure what to expect. I am seriously impressed and will be back.

Thank you for all your help, I'll let you know if turns out to be correct marriage.  Best wishes Dawn

Hi,

I wonder if your kind offer still stands.

I am looking into the Lingard and Conley families and have found that there is a possibility that a couple of my ancestors appeared in the Assizes at various times - I'm not sure what records still exist but I've found on Ancestry the following information and wonder if there is any further details available.

All the persons below - as far as I understand it - lived in the Hebden Bridge/Todmorden area

William Lingard - County Sessions Preston 16 October 1839
William Lingard - July 1825
William Lingard - 4 April 1853, 29 November 1855, 13 October 1856, February 1861, 22 February 1865

James Lingard - Epiphany 1832, 15 October 1855, 6 January 1871

Thomas Conley - 6 April 1863, 16 October 1878 and 19 May 1847

I realise that this is a lot of info to ask for but I'd be really grateful for any help you could give even if its just to point me in the right direction.

Many thanks in anticipation.

 Hi, I'm wondering if your  kind offer is still open for looking up records at the Lancashire Records Office?
The records I'm interested in are, according to the National Archives site, located at the Lancashire Record Office:-
Lancashire County Quarter Sessions

Salford and Manchester. Instructions for motion that appeal against order of removal of (Harriet Ann) Rainford (and her children) be entered and respited QSP/2957/9 c1832

Salford and Manchester. Instructions for motion that order of removal of Harriet Ann Rainford be set aside QSP/2961/26 c 1832

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated, Thank you

Could anyone going to the Records Office please look up "Clifton with Salwick. Order of filiation and maintenance of bastard daughter of James Rogerson of Fulwood, cordwainer, and Margaret Smithson  QSP/1940/1  1769 13 Jul", if that is possible? The child in question is my 7x great grandmother. Thank you in advance.
