Looking for parents of GG Grandfather Corker
« on: Thursday 11 June 09 13:23 UTC (UK) »
Hi, I'm living in Australia, (g'day!), looking for my GGG Grandfather and his wife's details.

His son was John William Corker, Born June 13, 1848 in Hulme/Chorlton, Lancashire.

That's all I know at the moment. Hoping some kind soul can shed some more light on this area.

Hi there,

In the 1861 census there is the following record:

Thomas Corker 44  Head Salesman born in Sheffield
Nancy Corker 42  Wife born in Lancashire
Thomas Corker 15  Son Clerk born in Lancashire
John William Corker 12  Son Solicitors Office Boy born in Lancashire
Harriet Corker 8  Daughter Scholar born in Lancashire
Joseph Corker 6  son Scholar born in Lancashire
Henry Corker 3  son scholar born in Lancashire
Harriet Corker 14  niece servant born in Lancashire

They were living in chorlton upon medlock.

Does that sound right to you?

Wow! You're amazing, thanks!

It sounds exactly right because John Corker was a merchant's clerk.

Yes I think you're right because you said before she was born in 1816 so it must be right, thanks so much for filling in so many gaps.

From the censuses both Thomases had middle initials C.  Dont know if that'll help at all.

I can't find a record of Nancy or Thomas's births.

On Ance*** there is a tree for a THOMAS CRANK CORKER Married to NANCY COOKE , I would put a few bob on Thomas's Mother's surname being CRANK..if you get the Marriage certificate for Thomas and Nancy it will give you Fathers names..... On the IGI there is a marriage of a JOHN CORKER to ELIZABETH CRANK in Liverpool in 1808.


I'll see if i can find any more details.
