Thank you so much amondg for your time on this.

I'm trying to "track" James and Mary as they didn't seem to stay in one place very long!

Mary was born in Wimbish, James in Widdington. They get married in Berden in November 1834 but I cant see that they have any links here. They have Joseph in 1835 in Stocking Pelham (who is baptised in April and dies in June of the same year) they then have William in 1836 also in Stocking Pelham. The rest of their children (who I've managed to find so far) were all born in Widdington in 1838, 1841, 1844 and 1846.
He was a shoemaker so may have moved around with work or may have done his apprenticeship around Berden or they could they have got married away from their home towns because she was pregnant?

I try to get a feel for their lives etc rather than just names on a tree

Thank you for all the details ref. Edmund and Elizabeth Salmon as I hadn't got any confirmed details regarding them yet

Kind regards

WOW nothing for 5 years then 2 messages in one weekend!

Thank you both so much for the info. 

amondg do you have access to the church records?  Can you see if they had a child christened at the same church please?

Many thanks

Hi Everyone

I'm hoping someone out there can help me.  My Nan used to say that one of our relatives was killed at work in a chemical accident at work in Ditton.  I am trying to confirm or otherwise this by trying to find a newspaper article or inquest details but I dont know where to start.

The details I have are as follows:

John SINGLETON b. 1876 in Bold married Julia DONOVAN In 1896 in Runcorn, they had a little girl Maude in 1897.

In 1901 they were living in Widnes and he was a chemical labourer.

He died 16 Aug 1901.

Any help would be great

Thank you everyone for taking the time to reply

Derek - that site is where I found the grave information - is so exciting when something "pops up" after you've entered all your info and you realise they are the correct people!

Marlee - thank you for your kind offer - that would be very much appreciated when you are next in the area.  I just hope that there is something there as there were 3 family members in the same plot

Hi AntonyMMM
