Ince in Cheshire

[chrissiehope]

Whilst doing research for my mum's book on her Hindley family history, I have acquired quite a bit of info about various families that lived in Ince in Cheshire (not far from Ellesmere Port), during the mid to late 1700s to early 1800s.

Anyone with an interest in this largely overrun (by Shell Oil !) village is welcome to contact me & I will pass on anything I have that is relevant to them

Hi Chrissie,

I read your message with interest.  My research has recently discovered a relationship to the Nield and Woodfin(e) families in Ince. My husband's great great grandfather was William Nield b. 1836 in Ince.  His parents were William and Mary Woodfine.  I would be very grateful to hear if you have any relevant information on these families. 

Best wishes, Sheila.

Hi Sheila,

These are the references that I have with those names - it's a bit cryptic I'm afraid, but I should be able to expand on most of them if they're relevant !

Presumably the William Neild below is not the same one - how come he wasn't Woodfine ?!!

Although I have a Mary, she wasn't married to a William as far as I can see, and I don't have a William at all !!

"Nield, Susan "Poor money reduced" 1847 (Rev Slater)
Nield, William 1804 Blacksmith (Slater 1844 & 1855)

Woodfine, Abel b 1753 m Mary ?Anson?; stepson Thomas Anson (lease1793);churchwarden 1793 (Rev Slater)  Husbandman D age 45 1798 //
Woodfine, Elizabeth Spinster D 1803//
Woodfin, Jane d 1754, Woodfaine Jane "poor money" 1749 (Rev Slater)
Woodfine, John - Lot II 1804 big farm Woodfin, John 1804
Woodfin, Margaret shopkeeper (Slater 1855)
Woodfine, Mary - b 1720 [?mother of Thomas Anson b 1756?]; Lot I 1804 farm Woodfin, Mary, Widow of Abel, 1804 Woodfine Mary 1805; 61 in 1801 (Rev Slater)"

If you want any further info from this list, you'd better contact me direct at tisrplace@tiscali.co.uk as some of the stuff I've got is a bit too big to post here, and I'll have to email it to you !!

Hope this is of some help,
Cheers,
Chris

Hi Chrissie,

Hope you don't mind me jumping on the bandwagon but I briefly visited St Peter's in Ince on Sat (I see what you mean by Shell Oil-it's a real shame). I was looking for any Percival graves but because of the long grass I had to beat a retreat and will bring my wellies next time!
More specifically, my ancestor William Percival was born in Ince in 1821 and was the son of George and Jane Pericival. He married Mary Davies at St Peter's in 1841-I can provide more info tomorrow but my notes have been left at home. William and Mary then moved to Ellesmere Port where he worked as a Porter before running the Whitby Tavern for some years.

Any help much appreciated.

Spellbound,

It would be wise to edit your post & remove your personal email to avoid spam etc. and ask Molly to PM you with her details.

My wife's great-great grandfather was from Ince. He was named John Carman/Carmon (born c. 1810), but in early life he also called himself John Hindley!! John married Anne Hughes at St. Martin's, Chester in 1827 and later married Esther Jones at the same church in 1837. The children of John & Esther were all given the surname Carman. Do you know anything about the Hindley/Carman connection?

Hi Edgar,

Amazing - I rarely log on here these days, and yet its only a few days since you posted !!

Yes, there is something somewhere about a Hindley / Carman connection, but its so long since I looked at the file I can't remember  !

I am sending you a pm with my email address - if you email me give it a subject "For Chrissie Hope re family history" or it may get 'spammed' by mistake ! In the meantime I will try & find the relevant info (if any !)

Cheers,
Chris
