Cheshire / Warrington Family - wrong name on census ?
« on: Wednesday 04 December 19 13:04 GMT (UK)  »
Hi

I originally asked for a look up BUT I now have a conundrum .  Catherine Bate (Nee Harrison) died Crossley Street (no number) January 1861 - I cannot find her Husband Thomas or her 2 older sons Henry and Thomas anywhere on the census.  The youngest child Peter is with his grandparents on Pinners Brow.  However on Crossley Street is a Thomas Whittaker - widower, right age, occupation and place of birth - with 3 sons all right names and ages  Henry, Thomas and Peter BUT why on earth is the name Whittaker - any ideas ?

Wales / Any help appreciated.....

Help.....

A relative has asked me to look into his line but I am struggling  ???

His mother died when he was 3 and he had no contact with his mothers side since, he is now in his 60's and is trying to find any living relatives from his mothers side.

All we know is.... 'she came from Wrexham'

Mothers name Frances WALSH b c.1925  Married George STAMPER 1951 (in Manchester)  Died 1958 (TB) (In Manchester)
Father on Marr Cert shown as George WALSH Master Window Cleaner
Witness on Marr Cert - J Brownhill & Fred STAMPER

STAMPER is one of my mums lines so we have all the info on that thanks   ;)

From other family I know she had a MUCH younger sister we believe to be called Jean.

I therefore presumed J Brownhill to be sister Jean so looked for marriages of Walsh & Brownhill - NOTHING.

i have found a
Frances WALSH b 1923 in Bury with a mother maiden name DAVIES
Jean BROWNHILL b 1936 in Wrexham with a mother maiden name DAVIES

& a marriage in Bury in 1921 of Beatrice E DAVIES and George WALSH.....

this would mean though that Jean was only 15/16 when witness at wedding ??

I can't find anything else.... i.e. divorce WALSH - wedding WALSH/BROWNHILL or DAVIES/BROWNHILL

I have found a marriage in Wrexham of a Jean BROWNHILL & Brian CLIFTON

Struggling to tie any of this together though..... can anyone help please ?

Thanks

Lancashire / 10 years and still looking !!! - HELP ? GG Grandfather Thomas BATE
« on: Friday 10 February 06 13:19 GMT (UK)  »
Im at my wits end with this....

My GG Grandfather Thomas BATE married Marion Kate CHARLES in March 1874 at Altrincham he says he was 23 - his father (deceased) Thomas Bate - Iron Worker.

On the 1881 census Thomas says he was born in - Cheshire(which is then struck out) and replaced by Warrington.

I have found him in the 1871 census living with another family in Lymm as a boarder

The only birth I can find in Warrington with a Father Thomas circa 1851 is 1853 and the father is a Fustian Cutter - he was still a fustian cutter in 1861 when his wife died.

I can't find MY Thomas as a youngster on any census.  :'(

So I can't accept the birth as my Thomas - what can I do now ??

ps... there are millions (might be exagerating a bit but it seems like it !!!) of Thomas Bate(s) and not one of them mine !!!!  ???

please help ???
