CENSUS 1841/51 LOOKUP REQUEST BARBER
« on: Wednesday 17 August 05 22:29 BST (UK) »
I am looking for information on one of my ancestors, Mary Ann Barber.  Her father John Barber (b. about 1790-1800) was a gardener who lived at 5 Lord Street, Chorlton upon Medlock as of 1837 (per Mary Ann's marriage certificate).   On the 1861 Census, she was listed as being born in Scarboro, Yorkshire.  She married Thomas Chorlton in 1937, b. about 1817 and had at least one child Catherine Chorlton.  At some point they must have moved to Manchester.

I am looking for birth information so I can try an locate her Mother's name and/or marriage information about John (father).

I received a bit of information from another person on this chat site, Andrea as follows:   "On the 1871 census her middle name is Jane - quite clear.  Is that right or should it be Ann as you put?   Again it says Scarborough as place of birth and husband Thomas, a chimney sweep.   It might be worth asking for a 41/51 look-up on the Lancashire board to see if they are still in Cholrton and her parents might be there too."

Any assistance you can provide would be appreciated.

Thank you,

I check ChARlton as well as Chorlton and Cholton, as I have relatives using all variations.  My household census references are not the normal ones, but came with the info I have.

I was looking at your links as my Grandmother was Marion Barber 1895, married to John Chorlton 1901, and that raised my interest.

I just noticed the age of your post,  :-[ Oh well, hope it helps.
