Looking for descendants of Henry Mosgrove (abt 1844 - 1900) of Failsworth.

[Terrybill]

I am searching for the descendants and relatives of Henry Mosgrove who was born in Ireland around 1844. He was married to Emma who died in 1923 and they lived in Failsworth, Lancashire. Together they had nine children one of which was also called Emma, she was my grandmother. She married Fred Hardman and they lived in Hardman Lane, Failsworth. I would be most grateful for any information regarding the history of the family. Thankyou.

Hi
Can you just confirm if you are wanting help
 a)tracing forwards from the nine children ("looking for descendents") , in which case we will need their names, years and places of birth, and what you have already
Or
b) tracing back from Henry ("information regardiung history of the family") in which case, if he was born in Ireland, you may be best asking a mod to move this to the Irish Board.

I wondered about this marriage:

Henry MUSGROVE  and  Emma TAYLOR in 1866 at Manchester Cathedral (formerly Manchester Collegiate Church)

If Terry gets his grandma's birth cert, it will give mother's maiden name, and if it is Taylor, then that looks hopeful.

Also - 1861 does have a 17 yr old Emma Taylor bn Failsworth - so looking good!
RG 9 2973 18 30

Parents William and Sarah plus lots of siblings.

Can look closer at details if we are on the right track -  as in first post Terry did say he was looking for descendents, not ancestors, I think.
