My Gt Grandmother Amelia Davies was born at Evenwood, Acton Burnell in 1860, the daughter of Samuel Davies 1825 and Hannah, Granddaughter of Thomas abt 1793 and Amelia. Does anybody have any knowledge of this family, or of Acton Burnell at this period? I don't have date of death for Amelia but it is after 1901, and I suspect she may have been buried in Acton Burnell.

Yes thanks Geoff, I have the marriage. I should have given her married name too, sorry. That sounds as though it could be her death. I hadn't realised she died so young. She had an eventful life. Moving to Manchester as a servant in a hotel, marrying Alfred, then living in Texas where three of her four children were born. They then came back to Salford as she was said to be homesick.
I'll send for her death cerificate.
Many thanks Geoff.

Have you got Amelia's birth certificate which would confirm her mother's maiden name?
If not, here's the details to order it:
Birth March Quarter 1860
Atcham, Vol: 6a, Page: 660
Have you found the family in any of the census? I can look them up for you if you haven't.
About 18 months ago I took some photos of Acton Burnell for another Rootschat member. It's a lovely village, and I go there quite a lot, especially during the summer months. Would you like me to send them to you?
Please send me a PM (click on the bright screen scroll under my reindeer picture) and let me have an email address

Hi Elaine
I have a Gg something aunt born in Evenwood 1863, Sarah Ann Edwards, It is a tiny place with only a few houses,
Hi Jan
Can you make out what the entry for the 61 census for samuel means? It gives him as Lodger, ( not head ) ?
Pete
P.S I still have living aunts in Acton Burnell.

Yes that's right Jan. In 1861 Samuel is listed as a lodger, then this is crossed out and he is head. I think Mary and William were actually the lodgers.
Pete do your Aunts know anything of the history of Evenwood?
I am keen to know why Amelia and her husband upsticks immediately after their marriage and head for New York and then Texas, then why they came back, and why Amelia died in Shropshire leaving her family in Salford. There is a strong chance of course I may never know.
In 1901 Amelia's sister Frances and her husband Lancelot Corfield and her brother Edward and his wife are living in Evenwood. Perhaps this is where she died. perhaps her death certificate is the next piece in the jigsaw.
Thanks for your interest.
Elaine
