Hi Lisa

I'm following Charlotte's line down too!  Sarah Ellen born 1870 and, I believe, Charlotte's eldest child was my great grandmother.  Sarah's son George was my dad's dad.  How about you?  Do you have and details of Charlotte's death?  I believe she may have died in 1918 with the death being registered as Bayley rather than Bailey but I've not had chance to confirm this.

I'll let you know if I find out anything on Samuel.

Take care

Helen

Thank you for your information Peter.  I was able to get a copy of the Parish Register entry for Samuel's 1st marriage to Ellen Bostock in Coppenhall.  At the time I couldn't read which Parish Samuel was living in at the time of the marriage - but now you've mentioned Barthomley I can see that's the name of the Parish. 

I also managed to get a copy of Samuel's marriage certificate (2nd marriage) but unfortunately, and as I feared, no father's name is recorded.  I guess this is going to be a "brick wall".

Regards

Helen

Hi

The Leicestershire Records Office also has some records of memorial inscriptions so they might be worth a try.

Hi Elzabels

Many thanks for your replies.

The only sources I have for Samuel's place of birth are the census returns for 1841, 1851 and 1861.  Both the 1851 and 1861 returns record his place of birth as being "Crewe".

However, I believe, from IGI index, that he married Ellen Bostock in Coppenhall in 1828.  From what you said, I think this is now what is called Crewe?

Thank you for the information on his marriage to Catherine.  I knew he'd married Catherine but not got any details.  Maybe I'll order a certificate.  It would be just my luck for the father's name not to be recorded!

Once again many thanks for your help.

Many thanks for your reply William.

I posted it on both boards as I knew that Samuel had lived in both counties and I wasn't completely sure which county Crewe was in back then.

Regards
