Findlay Or Findley?

[wrjones]

My relative Mary Jane Podmore was born in Burslem in 1878.There is a record of her marrying a Henry J Findley at Burslem St Paul in 1898,at least that is the way his Surname is spelt on Staffordshire BMD.It is also given as such on the Probate record of his father-in-law John Podmore who died in 1913.However it is spelt Findlay on Census records and other BMD on Ancestry.

Hi William

I have Mary Jane marrying Henry James Findlay on 25th September 1898 and I also have his birth recorded as Findlay in 1872.

Hi Bel,perhaps you can tell me what happened to the Rowley family between 1861 and 1891?They seem to disappear from the Census?

I refer to this Rowley family of James and Amy-RG/09/1930/37/17.

Hi William

I have not been able to find the Rowley family in 1871. In 1881 James and Amy are in Bycars, Burslem (as they are in 1861 and 1891) with Herbert and Annis. I would assume that they would be there in 1871 too but I cannot find a trace of them there (or anywhere else for that matter!)

Let me know if you manage to track them down!

Thanks Bel,I couldn't even see them iin 1881!I found all there children on Staffordshire BMD.I strongly suspect that the James(1845) is the James Clewes showing as born in Burslem in 1845 with a mother's maiden name of Clewes!

The James I spoke of appears to have married a Susannah Hammond at Wolstanton in 1874.Whilst they don't appear to have had any children,they are only listed as Rowley from 1901.

I have just given myself a severe reprimand!When I added what I thought were the 14 children of John Podmore and Ann Rowley I missed completely Dora born in 1891 who is with some of the Rowley family in 1901.
