John Waterhouse, born abt 1780-1785
« on: Sunday 06 August 17 05:39 BST (UK) »
I am trying to sort out the correct John Waterhouse, from several possibilities.

I am certain that his son, John Waterhouse, was born 1817 at Bury, Lancashire, and married Alice (Simiter) Crompton 1841 at Prestwich, Lancashire.

Using John Jrs. Birth record, John Snr. was married to a Sarah. I found a marriage of John Snr to a Sarah Jones 17 Feb 1805, at Manchester. John was 23, and Sarah was 22 in the marriage register.

I have found a couple of possibilities for John Snr.
One is that he was born 5 Dec 1783   at Bury, and baptised at St. Mary the Virgin in Bury, father David.

Another is he was born 27 May 1780, baptised 12 June 1780, at Blackburn. Father was William, and mother was Ann.

Any assistance would be very gratefully accepted. If I am heading in the wrong direction, that also would be gratefully received.

Thank you very much for that information.

I have Ann, bn 1812 at Bury, and Jane, bn at Tottington 1814.

The record for John jrs baptism shows the father as a calico printer, which I should have noted originally  :-[   so I will  accept that your find is the correct information.

Again, many thanks for your help.

Once again, many thanks for your help.

I have been away from genealogy for a while, and am having to put brain into gear to work properly for thinking about it. :P

children of John Waterhouse/Alice Crompton married 19 December 1841 both of Whitefield.

Eliza Crompton born 18 March 1841 daughter of Alice Crompton spinster and John Waterhouse she was buried as Elizabeth Crompton 19 September 1841 age 6 months daughter of Alice Crompton.

John 1843 civl reg  buried 17 September 1843 age 10 days
Eliza 1844 civ reg
John 1846 civ reg buried 22 August 1846 age 5 Months
James 1847 civ reg  buried 2 January 1850 age 2 1/2 years
Squire 1849 civ reg  buried 25 April 1850 age 9 months
Jesse 1851 civ reg (male)
Sarah Ann 1855 civ reg born 10 March 1855 Elton All Saints (check born or bap)
Emma 1858 civ reg.

I used the new GRO index that gives mothers maiden name to identify correct children and birth year.
Per 1861 census children Eliza 17, Jesse 9, Sarah 6, Emma 3 survived infancy.
1871 census Sarah 16 and Emma 14 are still at home.

John Waterhouse who married Sarah Cross  was buried 24 February 1839 age 55 of Elton

So far have not found his widow and children 1841

James Waterhouse a brother to John was buried 2 May 1841 age 57
1841 his wife/widow is listed as Jane age 58 although when they baptized the children she is Jenny/Jinny.

ADDED Sarah relict of John Waterhouse buried age 57 on 16 September 1841 St Mary the Virgin Bury abode Elton.
