I am researching my grandfather's WILLIAMSON family in Whitwick.  He was William Williamson b 1896.  His parents were Jonathan Williamson & Mary Moore.  Jonathan's parents were John Williamson & Hannah Foster.  I cannot find their marriage anywhere.
John's parents were the John & Catherine, mentioned by Mike.
Catherine Walker was married to John Williamson in Whitwick in 1818. The 1851 census reveals she was born in Sibson.  The IGI record has the baptism, but no parents names.
I haven't got John's parents either, there are SO Many Williamsons in Whitwick & they all used the same set of christian names (as seemed to be the norm in the 18th & 19th centuries.)
Hope this rings some bells !

I have tried to use the search facility to se if there's any information about my husband's INCE family.  The trouble is these letters together are in so many common words ......... such as prINCE, INCEst etc.

Is there any way I can search for this surname without getting hundreds of useless matches ?

I have discovered two relatives of my father's wife were in the Industrial School in Macclesfield in 1871.  They were both 11 years old.  Thomas Stephenson & Elizabeth Littlewood were married in 1879.  Thomas was a tailor.
They had several children, but sadly Elizabeth died when the children were young & they ended up in Styal Children's home (they were there in 1901)

I have managed to find Thomas's family, but I'm struggling with Elizabeth. I was wondering if records existed, that might give me more information about her. The marriage cert says her father was a cab driver & census records say she was born in Derbyshire.
