Lancashire Lookup Requests / Re: Searching for George Hibbert
« on: Sunday 18 February 24 11:55 GMT (UK)  »
As I wrote, much of the 1851 census was damaged and what has been recovered is available on Ancestry.
In 1841, George will be single and likely to be working away from home.

There is a George Hibbert, 20yrs working in Chapel en le Frith at 1841 186/book 10/folio 14

With regard to Mary Elizabeth Brocklehurst, there is a baptism in August 1825 at Hayfield, with father John.
Aaah, George & Mary Elizabeth's children were all born in Manchester in the 1861 Census, eldest child is Elizabeth Hibbert aged 13, so in 1851 they must have been living in Manchester not Derbyshire Doh.

Possible marriage

Hi Kelly, I was in the middle of looking for info on Castle mills where I used to go when I was a kid & wanted to know if there was a Castle at some time around Castle Mills.

Google (Ashley Castle, Cheshire), click on sixth item down where it says (The Baronetage of England) Volume 3 by Thomas Wotton, Edward Kimber, Richard A. Johnson. There you will find info on the Ameredith family you are looking for.

Created Barqnet, Jan 2nd 1639.

Hope this is of some help to you,
best regards,

 :D Congrats to all on the 1st anniversary  :D

I may have come in drag but, draw the line at shaving my tash off ha ha, Excellent day, the buffet & the cake were fantastic, thanks Cancan. Think everyone deserves a pat on the back for what has been done over the past 12 months.

Will be there next sunday, weather permitting.

 :D Hi all,

We had a good day on Sunday, got quite a lot done, suffered a little with some ant bites but, the savlon took care of them  :-\

Cancan got some very good shots for the web site concerning wildlife & one that had the girls in stitches  :o as to what it said on the gravestone,  :o maybe Cancan will put them up on here but, I'm sure they will be going on the web site for sure ha ha.  ;)

Thanks for all the good wishes, Cancan is organising a picnic for the 16th Oct to celebrate our 1st anniversary of the project & there will be a cake that Cancan will tell you all about in due time.

Best regards  :D

Hi Neil,

Thank you for the information, Harry's cap badge on the first picture I put up is a Royal Artillery badge, I'm wondering if he was involved in the first to land in Norway & the Hunting horn meant that he was either in the Light Regiment, Royal Artillery or the Observation Unit, Royal Artillery.

I will do some more digging & try to find out which Unit Harry was in or which of the Units were from Manchester.

Thanks again Neil,

Spatts.
