I have a Richard Ashton Poole, born c 1833 in Cheshire to Charles Poole (solicitor) and Sarah (nee Green). There is a record of marriage for a Charles Poole & Sarah Green in 1829, Bowden, Cheshire - but of course that's no guarantee. Apart from that, I have no information. Have been unable to find them as a family on census records. I'm hoping someone out there can supply a few nibbles to get me back on track.
Thanks.

Hi Lochlass,
Could be the right marriage, as here's a Charles, attorney in Bowdon in 1841, I'm still looking for his wife and Richard though:
HO107/91/10 fol.13 p.20
Altrincham Township, Bowdon Parish, Cheshire
Charles POOLE 30 Attorney at Law
Sarah Ann " 6
Mary SHAW 20 Housekeeper
John " 13 Clerk
all born Cheshire
maybe Sarah died, as Charles has a housekeeper

If you try the following link to the Cheshire Record Office Tithe Map Site and search for Richard Poole you should find a Richard Poole in Altrincham.
Further manipulation should enable you to find where he lived on a 'modern map'
http://maps.cheshire.gov.uk/tithemaps/
A minor point  Altrincham was never in Wilmslow. It was a township in Bowdon parish.

Which is what the census stated in 1841, however in 1851 I also put what it said, I think a****y must have indexed incorrectly, it says Altrincham township, Bowdon Parish, sub registration district Wilmslow! Their mistake, and mine for copying it  have edited it

Hello Barbara
I see where the Wilmslow came from. Apparently according to A******y there were three enumeration districts in Wilmslow and Wilmslow was within Bowdon parish. That s very odd. When one looks at the description of each district there is no mention of Wilmslow - either in the description or in the headings. Also odd because I believed Wilmslow as a large entity did not exist in 1841. It became a Parish in 1894 but before that was somewhere within a collection of 4 or 5 differently named townships.
I wonder where A*****y would have got Wilmslow from?
Maybe some one else knows and can add something.
Regards

It was the 1851 census that stated Wilmslow on the page heading. I don't know how they index things, found a whole section once, a Yorkshire town indexed under a town with the same name in another county, and although I told them about it I don't think anything was done.
In this case, if you search by the civil parish page for 1851, and click on Altrincham, there are 3 districts listed there, 6a, 6b & 6e. Then if you click on Bowdon there are two sub districts, Lymm & Wilmslow, click on Wilmslow, and up come district 3 which is Bowdon, and district 6c and 6d which are both Altrincham, so why they're not together ...... 
At least we're agreed the family lived in Altrincham
Kind regards,
Barbara

Many thanks, Barbara,
I had seen that census record but couldn't figure out why both mother & son weren't on it, therefore I dismissed it.Will just have to keep plugging away.

Well the only one missing now is Sarah, so it might be worth getting the 1839 death certificate from the ref. I gave you, you can check with the register office first to make sure it's the right one
you can order it online at http://www.cheshirebmd.org.uk/
register office probably Trafford, details at http://www.ukbmd.org.uk/genuki/reg/regoff.html#T

Interesting, thanks Barbara.
Only yesterday I looked at one of the 1841 census & came across a Richard Poole living in Altrincham with an older Richard Poole (aged 60 at the time) and wondered whether it was his grandfather. Planned to check it out today.
I'm really appreciative of your detective work. Many thanks.

I have applied for Sarah's death cert. Did it through GRO rather than the Trafford office as it was cheaper. Will let you know what's on it.
I noticed that in the 1841 census, Charles still had a daughter Sarah Ann living with him. I thought it was sad that some of the children (at least the one we know about) got palmed off elsewhere. As a solicitor, I thought he'd have the means to provide for all of them.
You should hear from me in a couple of weeks re the death cert.
Regards, Ruth.
