Electoral Roles in Failsworth 1906 to 1935

[dobfarm]

Hi Heywood

My comment was a general realistic one for offline reseaching post 1911 c info data (never easy)

There could be a parish register event entry in Newbiggin, Northumberland 1885 baptism for John jr Seymour with father John & mothers name somewhere. I can't find my grandfathers birth certificate but found his baptism 1867.

The 1911c Ash street needs checking to see if any boarding houses

The 1911 post census to early 1914 local council electoral registers need checking

1926 general strike and 1927 Oldham great flood may have some connection

Universal suffrage did not start until 1918, unless the said person was rich he would not be on any voters register prior to 1918.

Universal suffrage was women voting 1918 at the age of 30 in national elect but women could vote in local elections from 1869

Thanks Dobfarm

Your general comments rightly point out the difficulties with post 1911 research.

Failsworth Cemetery information has been found - see replies  5,6,11 and 21 here.

The Chronicle may help re death notice but as we have read here, Mary Jane was buried with her first husband and the children were then put into care. It would be reasonable then to assume that there would be no death notice by any other family member.

5 Ash Street was/is a small terraced house. He may have been lodging there but doesn't see to be in 1911- his name is not in the index.

It might be good to wait for that death certificate to see if he can be connected to that John Seymour.

You have a good point re the church records for baptisms in Newbiggin. Maybe Castana has tried or will look at that.

Heather - I hadn't finished the post and pressed a button!! You had posted in the meantime.

I realised after I had posted.

I have just been looking through his army medical reports. It says rhumatism and something else that I can't make out. He was discharged from the army on medical grounds.


I noticed that it says that Mary Jane Ashworth was a spinster when she married.3-2-00 Prestwich?

I see that Mary died of TB

If I recall it was something like Myalgia.

The marriage on Free BMD is Mary Jane Sidlow and the older children must be Sidlows.

I noticed that son John's registration said mother 'Ashworth' also.

Just noticed your last post re Mary's death. It is very sad. I think the stigma of TB was really bad. I remember my mother talking about a young woman who had had it and had recovered but you could just tell that it was such a disastrous event in a family.
