Hi,
I'm looking at an 1848 birth certificate for
Mary Jane TWISS, daughter of
Ellen TWISS.
I'd thought Mary Jane was born in Haydock, Lancs., and the 1851 and 1861 Censuses back this up, but I couldn't find a birth in the appropriate registration district (Warrington).
I did, however, find a birth registration in a bordering reg. district (Wigan).
I'm now looking at the birth and it looks like a fit. Ashton-in-Makerfield and Haydock border each other. Mary Jane's baptism was in Ashton-in-Makerfield. And the d/o/b on the birth cert. matches the d/o/b recorded with the baptism.
I'm wondering if Ellen Twiss, Mary Jane's mother, moved from Ashton-in-Makerfield, back to Haydock (where she was from) in-between the birth and the baptism because the baptism records a residence of Haydock. Mary Jane is living in Haydock on the 1851 Census.
Anyway... I'm struggling with the place of birth.
I THINK it reads, Lodge or Judge Field Barn or Barns, Ashton.Can anyone take a look and give me their opinion, please? Also, does anyone know where in Ashton-in-Makerfield this was/is?
Many thanks,
Rowan Tree
