Alright - I'll keep a look out for it.  I really can't wait to see what you have, especially the photograph.  You have no idea what this will mean to my mother-in-law.

Thanks again.

Am excited too !  I certainly am not an expert with this site, and it has been most helpful in searching my ancestry.  After you log in look at the top of the page where it says Welcome back and next to your name you will see any notification of personal messages.  Click on there and you should see my message with my email addy.  If you would send me an email I can forward the photo and other info I have.  I am always glad to share any of my findings as I have also enjoyed information that others have shared with me.  Looking forward to hearing from you "cousin"

How exciting for you both.  I remember vividly researching Nicholas Baird for Drakes.  It was before the 1841 went on line and fortunately I have all the Cheshire and Lancashire Census CDs, and actually plowed all the way through the Ashton under Lyne 1841 page by page until I found Nicholas and Helen.

Marilyn, are you still in touch with Deborah?  If so will you give her my love please.  Thank you

Yes, Marilyn has been a wealth of information for me!  Unfortunately, there are a couple of brick walls that I've run into which were the same ones that "Drakes" was researching.  I wish I could contact her and find out if she ever had any luck finding a marriage certificate for John Arnold and Agnes Ramsden or a birth registration for their daughter Nellie.

Su,

Did you say you found Helen and Nicholas on the 1841 census?  I've not had any luck searching for Helen prior to the 1861 census.  She married William Ramsden around 1847 in Ashton Under Lyne and that's where they are in 1861, 1871, and 1881, but I've never found them in 1851 and have never found Helen prior to her marriage in 1841.  If you have anything I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks

Hi Su,

  Thats a ditto for me too      ! 
  Re : Drakes -  Sorry to say I have misplaced her contact info.  I was hoping you still had it as I believe she and Brenda would have a grand time since they have a direct link with John S Arnold.

  All the best to you !

1851 (Unfilmed) Census:

RAMSDEN, William Head Married M 30 1821 Millwright
 Rotherham,   Yorkshire. 
RAMSDEN, Ellen Wife Married F 41 1810 Illegible
 Kirkcubright,  Scotland.
RAMSDEN, James Gardner Dau  F 1 1850 Illegible
 Ashton U Lyne,  Lancashire 
?D, Nicholas Lodger Unmarried M 50 1801 At Home
 Kirkcubright,  Scotland

165, Park Street, Ashton-under-Lyne

HO107  Piece:2233   0  0

The census was badly water damaged.

There is a birth registered in 1849 of  a James Gordon Ramsden in Ashton Town.

[brendap27]

Actually, that would be Jane Gordon, born late 1849, early 1850 in Ashton Under Lyne.  Does the fact that is says unfilmed mean that it hasn't been transcribed into ancestry.com or FamilySearch? 

Thank you very much!

[marilynesther]

Huckleberry !

  Thanks so much. This is great!  Too bad the census was water damaged, but we can figure out the illegible items from what we already know. Entry for  Nicholas would be BAIRD, Nicholas (mother to Ellen b. 1824) unmarried at time of census, but remarried  7 Sept 1851.... This is probably why we have not been able to locate Nicholas since the surname is not legible.

Can't thank you enough.  Do you have this on a CD and if so how would we obtain a set?
