Lancashire / Henry Evans -Stonemason
« on: Wednesday 02 February 22 12:46 GMT (UK)  »
Recently I have had help via Rootschat succesful searches for Edward Evans of Manchester

Unfortunately I cannot find any details of his father Henry Evans b.Manchester who was a Stonemason
I am guessing Henry was born c.1778.
1st. marriage was to Mary Emiley (widow) 24.5.1803 at Manchester Collegiate Cathedral.Edward their son was b.1806 Manchester.In 1808 Mary Emiley died.
2nd.marriage was to Mary Ann Atkins 2.1.1812 at St Johns,Cirencester & from this marriage there were 6 more children.Henry 1814,Grace 1815, b.Cirencester. Calvin Claudius 1818 b.Manchester,Mary Ann 1820,Emily1823,Hannah 1828. I have a Henry Evans Snr. deceased in Manchester 1838.XX579

I need to find out if at all possible who Henry Evans parents/siblings were.The area in Manchester where he was Spinningfields was a really bad slum area as far as I can tell during 1700/1800s
 & I wonder why he would want to travel back there from Cirencester where he was possibly carrying out his work as a Stonemason. Any help with this would be appreciated.

Lancashire / Edward Evans - Manchester
« on: Sunday 30 January 22 14:36 GMT (UK)  »
Edward Evans was b.c.1806 in Manchester. Father was Henry Evans (Stonemason) & Mother was Mary Emiley who died 1808.

Henry married again to Mary Ann Atkins in Cirencester & had 6 more children.
In the 1841c they lived Spinningfields, Manchester.

The info I have states that in later censuses Edward Evans is a publican in Manchester.
Can anyone please find evidence of where in Manchester he was a publican & did he have any family.

Yorkshire (West Riding) / Richard Bentham & Ellen Clarke
« on: Wednesday 12 January 22 13:29 GMT (UK)  »
Can anyone please help me with my 3xGt Grandparents.Richard Bentham c.1806 married Ellen Clarke b.12.November 1805 Giggleswick. The marriage took place in Giggleswick 20. Nov 1834
Daughter Mary Bentham was born the year after.
On the 1841c Ellen age 35 (Weaver) is living at 3 Foundary Yard Salmon Street,Preston with Mary (6)
1851c Ellen Bentham 49(Widow) Weaver b.Giggleswick
Mary Bentham (D) 16 plus Lodgers - James Fox 15,Margaret Fox 20 & Jane Webster 27

I have a note that states Richard Bentham died 1839 but it also states that he is on the 1841c in Giggleswick.Richard was a Basket Weaver/Labourer.

1861c states Ellen Bentham (58)is a boarder(Wid) Housekeeper York.
I have no idea who Ellen Bentham-nee -Clarke parents were, or Richard Benthams.

On the notes(acquired via a deceased relative) it says that Richard may have been born Hull.

Any info would be appreciated

Lancashire / Rosanne/Rosannah Fox c.1800
« on: Tuesday 04 January 22 08:20 GMT (UK)  »
Rosanne/Rosannah Fox was born c.1800. Married Thomas Jones a Malster(brewing) at St Mary's C of E Eccles,Lancs 3rd Nov 1823.Thomas was b.1800 in Prestwich,Manchester.I also have his parents Jonathon Jones & Alice Bailey marriage at the same church 28th Feb 1785.
Thomas & Rosanne/Rosannah had 6 children who were all born in Eccles so I am presuming that is where they lived.Unfortunately I cannot find any further details for Rosanne/Roseannah. The marriage is all I have other than their daughter Rosannahs marriage to Robert Burgess at St Thomas,Pendleton Salford 6th May 1860.I found she was also baptised 10th Feb 1833 at St Marys Cof E Eccles where both her parents/grandparents were baptised.
Any info on Rosanne/Rosannah would be really helpful.Parents,place of birth etc.

« on: Sunday 26 December 21 13:11 GMT (UK)  »
I am trying to find Daniel Burgess & his wife Mary ? both from Muckleston,Staffs.At least i think that is the right name of the place.Their children were William,Daniel,Joseph,James,Robert,& Samuel.All born between 1828 & 1840 as far as I can tell.
I know for certain that Son  Robert b.1837 Church Stretton.married Rosannah Jones 6.May.1860 at St Thomas Church in Pendleton,Salford.
I also know Robert was with his family at Bristol Rd,Church Stretton -age 3 on the 1841c
The Burgess family appear to have stayed in the Salford,Lancashire area after Roberts marriage.
I am trying to get further back with parents Daniel & Mary but can't get any further.

Any help would be appreciated :-\ :)

Grooms Father: James Moss - Carder

I have found Mary Ann Hargreaves baptism at St.Bartholomews,Salford on 1st April 1855 & her brother Charles was baptised on the same day.In the LOPR it states the parents names as John & Mary Hargreaves.It is the only clue I have to their Mothers name.At the time of these baptisms they were stated as living at Woralls Buildings in Ordsall,Salford.
As far as I am told there were other siblings but not sure.They were Alice,Sarah,John & James Henry.
I would really appreciate finding Mary Anns mother & also if those named as siblings are correct.
