Hampshire & Isle of Wight / christchurch parish records Troke, Everleigh, monday, Biddlecombe and Brereton
« on: Wednesday 18 June 14 13:52 BST (UK)  »
Hello
I am having difficulty finding the parish records for Christchurch on line. I have found some on Familysearch and some on Ancestry, but with not much in the way of detail and some not at all.
I am looking for the ancestors of Caroline Everleigh born 1824 possibly John everleigh ( father) and Elizabeth Biddlecombe? can't find any trace of Biddlecombes ! John everleigh's mother may have been susanna Brereton ?
Also Stephen troke born 1890 married Sophia Monday/munday in Christchurch may 1813. I have found a possible father for Stephen- John Troake . Any information of possible baptisms of marriages for any of these people in Christchurch would be gratefully received. Thank you .

Canada Lookup Request / William Leather- New Brunswick 1929-1931 any information please
« on: Saturday 02 March 13 23:25 GMT (UK)  »
Hello
I have just traced a member of my family on a ship to Canada, leaving Liverpool in March 1929.
Does anyone have any information regarding the Canadian passenger lists. Also would there be any information about him in Canada. He was there for 2 years and it would be fantastic to find out where he stayed etc. His name was William Leather born 1910, in Wales.
Any information would be gratefully received.
Thank you

Cheshire Lookup Requests / marriage bond 1875 Joseph leather at St Michaels, Toxteth
« on: Monday 04 February 13 13:02 GMT (UK)  »
Hello
Could anyone be so kind as to look up the marriage bond/allegation for  Joseph Leather and Mary Ann Foster. The basic copy is on Familysearch.org but all the relevant details have not been entered. The date of intended marriage is 27th jan 1875 at St Michael's, Toxteth. I am hoping that there are some details which could help me  find their birth certificates. Many of the boxes of the copy on familysearch are empty...I am hoping that they will be filled in on the original.
Thankyou

Hello
Could someone kindly have a look at an entry in the 1891 census for a John and Elizabeth Reed. Elizabeth was born in 1823 in Somerset and was living in London (Islington ? ), in 1891, with husband John. I am unable to get into the record to see if this is my ancestor.

Somerset / John READ. chewton/clutton mariage look up please
« on: Monday 01 November 10 11:19 GMT (UK)  »
Hello
Would anyone have access to the parish marriage records for John Read, born circa 1771 in Chewton Mendip and Jane ?, born circa 1780 in Clutton. The marriage would have taken place in either of these parishes, probably around 1800?.  Also the baptism of John Read, in Chewton Mendip and of Jane ( if her surname can be found from the marriage), would be wonderful.
Any information on these people would be gratefully received.
Thankyou

Glamorganshire / oak terrace, swansea in 1901. where is it?
« on: Monday 27 September 10 13:42 BST (UK)  »
Hello
Looking for any information on the whereabouts of Oak Terrace, in Swansea. My ancestor is living there in 1901, as stated in the shipping records, but I can't seem to find anything on old maps!
Does anyone know of this road in 'old Swansea'? I am assuming that the road has long gone by now or renamed. However any information on its location would be gratefully received.
Thankyou

US Lookup Requests / 1898 lawrence, Massachusetts address please
« on: Tuesday 07 September 10 13:36 BST (UK)  »
Hello
Does anyone have any access to a street directory and or census for Lawrence, Massachusetts in 1898?
I have just found a relative on the shipping passanger lists, going to 660 Broadway, Massachusetts. The name of the person/people living there is not clear. Possibly Mrs Fred Hargrans, but the writing is smudged and unclear.
If anyone could look up the correct names, at that address I would be very grateful.
Thankyou

Yorkshire (West Riding) / Mary Bedford & son census lookup please
« on: Tuesday 11 May 10 23:21 BST (UK)  »
Hello
Would anyone be so kind as to look up in the census records the information on Mary Bedford, born circa 1860, Huddersfield area. Her son, Fred B. Bedford was born in 1884. Best census would be the 1891, Huddersfield/Kirkheaton area.
Also am trying to trace Mary's parents, probably in the same area. Hopefully they will be found in the 1861/71 census, as she was born around 1860.
Her parents were Susannah and Joseph J bedford (can't find a marriage for them, despite searching through quite a few records ! )
Any information to trace these people would be very helpful.
Thankyou

Cheshire Lookup Requests / Northwich parish records
« on: Tuesday 02 March 10 10:09 GMT (UK)  »
Hello
Does anyone have access to Northwich parish records?
There seems to be a discrepancy with the grandparents names!!!
In the 1861 census, I have found my ancestor Joseph Leather, 18, living with sibblings Elizabeth and James, in Winnington, Northwich. It states that John and Hannah Littler are the grandparents.
From research, I have found that the grandparents are John and Mary Leather and Samuel and Hannah Beech.
Joseph's parents are James Leather and Elizabeth Beech, who are both dead, by the 1861 census.
Does anyone have access to the Northwich records, to check the births of James Leather born circa 1812, in case of a name change Leather/Littler?
It seems very odd that these people are claiming to be the grandparents, when I can't find a connection!
One possibility is that Hannah Beech remarried, as an old lady to John Littler, but I can't find a marriage!
Any information regarding Leather/Littler would be appreciated.
kind regards
