I am hoping that someone may be able to help me.  My Great Grandfather Alfred Collier B1855, Manchester, Lancashire - D1919, Manchester, Lancashire.  Marrired Martha    Martha died on the 5th april 1919.  Alfred aslo married to Elizabeth Ambrose B13/12/1858 - D30/11/1900, on the 23/3/1878.  I am trying to find out Martha's last name.  Alfred is burried at Manchester with Martha, Elizabeth, their daughter Amy who died 24/1/1904.

Thanks

A possible 1901 for Martha - all b Gorton except William

63 Cross Lane Gorton

William Brandreth 42 b Ashbourne Derbyshire
Elizabeth  40
Ethel 11
Clara  9
Frances 4
Martha Corden 34 sister in law b Gorton (unmarried)
RG13 Piece 3691 Folio 11 Page 13

Marriages Dec 1888 
 
William Brandreth   Chorlton  8c 955   
Elizabeth Ann  Corden   Chorlton  8c 955

If Alfred had sons Fred and Albert from his first marriage then the family were in Prestwich in 1911 and the 1901 entry for Martha above is correct

Sorry, think you may have the wrong person..this thread has nothing to do with me....

My reply was to GregC who posted this request - I don't understand your reply??

[dalek39]

I think there is a big mix-up somewhere...I am Dalek39..and I am receiving messages from people who are not connected to my thread..The James Nelson thread..just letting you know.

It may be as well to let Rootschat know as Greg may not have received any notification about my reply to his post - I'll send him a pm just in case

[dalek39]

Thanks Carole...I'll do that...

Sorry but I do not know whats happened.  You are right Carole, I didnt receive anything from you till I got the PM from you.  Sorry for any confussion.


Carole, you were spot on with Martha Corden.  I went into a chat room and was told about the free BMD website and found those details.  I have since confirmed it with marriage cert that I got hold of from a cousin who is also tracing the Collier family.

Thanks so much for all your help   :-)
