Hi
Hoping you can help me locate my Hampson and Walters ancestors.
Eliza Walters was born around 1800 (aged 71 in 1871 census) in Stockport. She married William Hampson. The first child that I have knowledge of was Ellen Hampson who was born in Congleton in about 1837. (The family then moved to Salford where other children were born in the early 1840s.)
I hope you will be able to help me pick up their track...

Hi Fiona,
I have a record of William Hampson and Eliza Walters marrying on the
8th Sept.1817 at St.Mary Cheadle Stockport
this the only marriage of those names in the Cheshire index that I have.
There are no records of Hampsons born in Congleton between 1837 and 1850
How likely is it that they were in Congleton during the 1941 census?
If you think it highly likely then I will do a search for you.
I do not have census records for Salford so you may have to post another request on the Lancashire board.
Please give as much info. as possible.
regards

Hi Peter
With thanks for your help and your trouble. The Walters-Hampson marriage sounds very hopeful. I don't suppose the register is one of those all encompassing registers with idiosyncratic information that tells you who their parents were and where they came from etc?
I don't think they were in Cheshire at the 1841 census although it is always a possibility with these things. I think they had a daughter, Catherine, in Salford, in about 1840/1841 and a last son, Edward, in 1844 - again in Salford. With thanks for the offer of looking up on the census though.
As for Ellen Hampson, their daughter, Congleton was the place of birth she/her husband/her mother constantly gave for her place of birth 1861 onwards in Salford. It is possible it was 1836. I have noticed two Ellen Hampson's born in 1837 on the Cheshire BMD site, but haven't pursued either yet because I couldn't be sure which might be closest to Congleton geographically.
It might help if I found other children. If you, or anyone else, have thoughts on how I might locate them without the ever-helpful BMD sites, I'd be delighted to know. I will pursue the 1817 marriage and see where it leads,
Fiona
-
Hi Fiona
A search of Catherine showed birth, Salford, dec,1839,
volume.xx 706.
this being correct it is unlikely that the Hampsons were in Congleton after September 1839.
I don't think that the 2 Ellens you mentioned (1 born Dukinfield and one Neston Wirral) are associated in anyway with the one your looking for.
I wonder if the father was a tradesman at all? If so there will be trade directories (Pigots) for the 1830,s in Congleton.
Failing that I don't know where your based but it might need a visit from you to the Cheshire Records Office in Chester to view the parish records for birth records. Or telephone the Congleton library (01260 271141) to see what they may have.
Good luck

Hello Chris ::), This is great! Hope you can help me. Am looking for my LANGFORD/LLOYD/BENNETT families. They were in the Saughall, Mollington areas in the late 1790's and the 1800's. Probably up to 1860's/70'S. Thomas born circa 1787. and died June 1847 I think in Mollington. Don't know whom he married may have been Ann ?, had children; Mary no date, Ann no date, Martha no date, Emma no date, Robert 1818, Saughall, John 1830, Gt.Saughall . John married Elizaberth LLOYD in 1855 in Chester. They had children John Lyon born April 1860 and Thomas b.circa 1858 Cheshire. Elizabeth LLOYD b.circa 1837 Cheshire father Thomas LLOYD. Also looking for marriage for Elizabeth ? to John BENNETT not sure of marriage but Elizabeth born circa 1829 in Neston or Nestor. Know nothing for John BENNETT. Hope you can find some of them. thank you. ;)
-
hi,
can you give me a district or address for Thomas Langford
from his death certificate and a name of the person who registered the death?
I will then do a search of the 1841 census,which should answer a lot of your questions.

Hi there Catherine
Can find no reference to St Mary, Rostherne on the CD - Sorry

Hi! Chris
Or should I call you speedy - thank you so much for checking for me, it was worth the try.
Catherine :)

Goodness, why didn't they allow the Cheshire records to be on the IGI?
Another probably Cheshire marriage that's caused a stumbling block: Stredder m. Sparks. I am looking for a marriage Birkenhead and Bebbington way between William (Smith) Stredder and Margaret Sparks probably in the later 1830s. (They had a son George Alfred Stredder, and daughters Alice Ann Stredder and Amelia Stredder who were both born and married in the 1860s Birkenhead and Bebington areas. Other children later born in Liverpool and Bolton.)
Other Stredder and Sparks references gratefully received,
With thanks
Fiona

Hi! Fiona
There is 10 marriages for the name Stredder on the Lancashire bmd site
http://www.lancashirebmd.org.uk/
There is also 8 marriages for the name Stredder on the Cheshire bmd site

Hi! Chris
Wondered if St. Marys Church in Rostherne is on it. Looking for Michael Rustage marriage to Fanny Boond on the 03/08/1819. Any details would be much appreciated.

Hi Catherine
checked the Bertram Merrell Index and it shows the marriage only as you describe with no further info.Sorry

Hi Fiona
I have checked my Cheshire index (Bertram Merrel)this shows no Stredder marriages at either Birkenhead St. Mary or Bebbington St Andrews up to 1837

Hi Catherine
Thank you for the pointers to the BMD sites. I browse them thoroughly every time they are updated. And I have gone back and forth at 1837online.
Although I have found some children to William Smith Stredder and Margaret Sparks in Birkenhead/Tranmere/Bebington/Liverpool, I have not found their own marriage nor the birth of George Alfred Stredder who appears to be their eldest son. I have found the 1841 marriage of a George Smith Stredder in Manchester who may be a brother to William and the certificate is on order. In the 1881 census, Margaret says she is from Slorton, Cheshire.
Fiona

Hi! Fiona
Think one of the problems is that although the St. Catherines Index of birth marriages and deaths started in 1837 to the present day, it was not made complusory to register until 1875, where upon people were fined for not registering.
So we still have to rely on church records at times.
Good luck
Catherine :)

Hi ,
I don't have the death cert as yet, decided to send for last will and testament instead before sending for death cert. Will just says Thomas Langford of Mollington, Shoemaker, he died 9th June 1847. In a search of the Cheshire BMD I think I found his death, Thomas Langford age 60 Sub District Chester Cathedral, Register's at Cheshire West CAT/10/20. Possible informant could have been his wife Ann, or either son Robert or John. I'm sorry I don't have more. In the 1851 census his wife/widow and son John were living at 5 Parkgate St "Everwood Cottage", and living next door, John's brother Robert and wife. Hope this is of some help. Thank you.

If the Parish Records go back to 1650 would you please check for the name John Adsit? I think he may have lived at Disley. The name is not to be confused with Adshead, which I believe came later.
Thank you,

RE James Hatton and Sarah
Hi
my index shows no records for James and Sarah at all at St.Bridgets West Kirby.
there is also St. Andrews for which I have no index.
As for Joseph,yes the http://www.cheshirebmd.org.uk/ shows his death registered in the district of Woodchurch aged 45 in 1891
Don't hesitate to post if you require any more details

Hi Chris
Looking for the marriage of John Lidgett(Lydgett) to a Mary around 1810 in or around Hargrave,Huxley, or possibly as far as Nantwich. Any chance?
-
Hi,
A search of the Bertram Merrell Index shows :
John Lidgett married Mary Billington on the 3/7/1809
( he a blacksmith )
A soundex search reveals several Lidgett's and variations of the name marrying in the same area at dates from 1696-1836. these are listed below.
regards
peterbennett
-
Hi Peter
Thanks for your prompt reply, no less than 6 Lidgett names recognised. The John married 1809 is the son of Robert the Blacksmith died Bickley 1835. What I need now is to know if he was the father of the John who married Elizabeth Leach 1836. His parents also John and Mary. These are my 2Gt Grandparents. Any one help?
-
Hi
Sorry I do not know how you can proceed further without seeing the parish birth records, kept at Cheshire Records office, unfortunatly I do not have copies.
Maybe someone can suggest something else?
Good hunting

Hi Chris
I really would appreciate any help you can give me with my research. I'm looking for the marriage of GGG grandfather in Cheshire:-
William Francis CRANE (b. circa 1784) to Elizabeth ? (b. circa 1788). I'm surmising that the wedding may be been circa 1808-13 and possibly at Holy Trinity, Chester (all their children were baptised there from 1813 onwards.)
Yours hopefully
Dorothy ::)

Hi Chris,
I would really appreciate it if you could look to see if you have any of my MULLINER baptisms at Wybunbury
1824-1848 in particular Richard Mulliner born abt.1836/7
Many thanks.

Hi Chris
Don't know if you can help me, I am trying to find out the parents of my GGG Grandfather Joseph Ankers born approx 1837 Hargrave his father was William but I cannot find out his mothers name up to now, also his wife Catherine Ann Quin her father was John but have not been able to find out her mothers name, she was born in Parkgate around 1837. Any help would be appreciated Thanks Judith
-
Hi Judith
Both Joseph and Catherine have birth records showing on the Cheshire BMD site from there you can get the application for birth certificates, these will give you the mothers details you are looking for.
http://www.cheshirebmd.org.uk/
I have searched the marriage index and found a likely pairing of William Ankers and Mary Hopley (Malpas ) married
Hargrave St. Peters in 1835, of course this could would be proved by the birth certs.
The marriage index I have is not complete but without both names it is even more difficult.
Hope this helps
peterbennett

Hi June
The index that I have only contains marriages so don't think there is any way we can help at the moment.
peterbennett
-
Hi Dorothy,
I have searched the index and not found a William Crane with Elizabeth. Have tried all districts and variations of spellings without luck.
As the index is not complete it does not mean they didn't marry at Chester, but I think a visit to Cheshire record office at Chester may be called for, if you are in the area.
peterbennett
-
Many thanks for looking, Peter. I will try to get to Chester Records office to find them!
Kind Regards
Dorothy
-
Hi Chris
Thanks for your quick reply, I feel such an idiot and other words to that effect, just double checked the marriage certificate of Joseph and Catherine and their birth years would be 1835 and 1834 so the bith certificates in the Chesire BMD cannot be theirs, plus which Catherine was born in Parkgate.
I am actually visiting the Cheshire records office in a couple of weeks so hopefully I will be able to find out more information. Thanks again Judith

Hi Chris
could you search for any Fishwicks for me for the parsish of Westkirby,Meols,Caldy, etc upto 1840

Hi Chris,
Are there any STRETCH's with a TARPORLEY connection on your CD. Having problems with this line.
JOSEPH SAMUEL STRETCH born 1857 Grappenhall married ANN EDITH DAVENPORT b.1860 from TARPORLEY in 1879.
His address at the time of the marrriage just says CHESTER.
ANN EDITH STRETCH died in 1886 and JOSEPH married someone called MARY b.1860 also from TARPORLEY.
They had a son on the 1901 Census;JOSEPH b.1896
JOSEPH SAMUEL STRETCH was a 22 year old Widower when he re-married in 1879 - who was his first Wife???
Can you help?
Stretchie.
-
Hi
Sorry can't help this time.
The parish marriage index that I have does not show any marriages after 1850.
The CheshireBMD does show 2 marriages prior to 1879 that might fit with your Joseph Stretch, one a Sarah Ellen Buckley 1873 and a Betsy R Stoddard 1785, but cannot find a death record that fits for these.
Sorry
peterbennett
-
Hi Angela (fifer)
The marriage index I have has records for St. Bridgets West Kirby from 1560-1837 and shows the following for the name Fishwick.
1) 3/6/1813 Ann to Joseph Jones
2) 3/6/1819 Ann to Joseph Jones (by licence )
Sorry I cant explain why there are two referenses unless the Bishops transcipts were wrongly written up.
peterbennett

Hi Peter
Did you say Fisher by Mistake is it Fishwick or have you looked up the wrong name :)

Hi Chris
Don't know if you can help me, I am trying to find out the parents of my GGG Grandfather Joseph Ankers born approx 1837 Hargrave his father was William but I cannot find out his mothers name up to now, also his wife Catherine Ann Quin her father was John but have not been able to find out her mothers name, she was born in Parkgate around 1837. Any help would be appreciated Thanks Judith
Hi Judith
I will be doing some searching this week, could you tell me where your Joseph and Catherine married.
Could you let me have the details from the earliest census return you have for them.
Unless of course you have already cracked it.
peterbennett
-
Hi Peter
No I havent cracked it as yet.
Here are the details on the marriage certificate, Joseph Ankers 21 Bachelor, Labourer Bridge St Chester Father William Ankers Shoemaker.
Catherine Quin Bridge St, Spinster, Bridge St, Father John Quin Joiner. Marriage Date Sept 1 1856 St Mary Chester.
I found them on the 1881 Census, they are living there with there children it was the name of Kezia that helped me as my father remembers going to her home for tea when he was a child.
Not found them anywhere else as I have been unable to look at any other census.
-
Hi Chris
I would be grateful if you could offer any help on the following:
William Dooley B: 29 Jun 1862 at 4 Livingston St Birkenhead. Father John Dooley Boilermaker journeyman, Mother Alice Fielding. I am trying to find the marriage of John & Alice but it is possible they came from Ireland. Also, William married Mary Ann Smith, she was born 1865 Bedminster Bristol, but I don't know where they married, although some children were born Liverpool.
Many thanks Chris
-
Hi Chris
With regards to the Mary and William marriage
can you give me an idea of where you have searched upto now. I did find them on the 1891 census living in Liverpool with no children, If the couple were married and its a possibility that they didn't , it would be best to work backwards from 18891, or from the birthdate of there first child if born before 1891 using the GRO index of BMD's.
I have very little knowledge of Irish family history, but there are some very good people who I am sure would point you in the right direction to finding John and Alice, may I suggest that you post again to the common room headed lookup/how to ? Irish birth.

Hi Judith
According to the IGI parish records (not complete ) there are two possibles for Joseph born around 1835 in Hargrave but neither have a William as father. the reason for mentioning this should become clear further on.
In the 1881 census which you have, states Joseph 43 b Hargrave living with family in the township of Foulk Stapleford,
As yet I dont have details of or access to the 71 or 61 census's.
So looking for Joseph on the 1851, I found on
folio 206 HO107- 2171 Joseph Ankers 15 farm servant born Tattenhall , right or wrong ? no others found in the area.
1851 HO 107-2171 folio 158 Hatton Heath Saighton
William Ankers head 38 master shoe maker b. Tattenhall
Mary ~ wife 39 b. Malpas
Elizabeth ~ daug 9 scholar b. Hargreave
John ~ son 7 b. ~
Thomas ~ son 3 b. ~
Emma ~ daug 6 months b. Saighton
It would seem that this family lived in Hargreave at least as far back as 1842. There were no other William Ankers in the area.
1841 census HO107-90-32 folio 7 Foulk Stapleford
William Ankers 28 occupation unreadable born in county
Mary ~ 28 ~ ~
George ~ 10 ~ ~
Sarah ~ 5 ~ ~
Joseph ~ 3 ~ ~
Samuel ~ 1 ~ ~
No other William and Mary Ankers found in the area.
If this is your Joseph born c 1837 then there should be a ref on the Cheshire BMD and yes there are two born in same year 1837 both in Tattenhall. these should be investigated in order to confirm parentage.
The IGI SEARCH shows as mentioned 2 Josephs
1) christoning July 9 1937 Father George Mother Mary
2) ~ Aug 1935 ~ Richard ~ Ann
These obviously because of the differant parents are not your Joseph but they do serve to complicate things on census's.
Without the 1861 and 1871 census's it is difficult to follow things through with any certainty.
Hope you can make some sense of it all, if not let me know.
will get back later with info on Catherine Quinn.

peterbennett
Hi Judith 29/5/04
Just found another Ankers family living in Chester 1841, it might or might not be one of yours, but thought I had better not leave it ,you never know.

Hi Peter
Can you look on the census records you have for 1841/1851 for Hargrave and Huxley for John Lidgett b1812 (wife Elizabeth) for details of their children. I only know of Jonathan b 1839 and Charles b1842. Only Jonathan appears on IGI, Charles is my GT Grandfather.

Hi Judith
here is the 1841 census details for John Quinn Parkgate Gt.Neston
HO 107-125-5 folio 11
John head 40 born Ireland
Jane wife 45 ~ in county
Benjamin son 15 ~ ~
Henry ~ 12 ~ ~

The 1851 census shows for Parkgate road Gt.Neston
HO 107-2173-folio 95
John Quinn head 50 ag/lab born Ireland
Jane ~ wife 55 ~ Neston Cheshire
again no Catherine Ann
I did think it may be the wrong family so
I did a search of the 1851 census of Chester and surrounding districts with again no sign of Catherine Ann.
Angela (fifer) searched the Neston area 1851 for me, again no Catherine Ann.
I will keep a lookout for the missing one.

Hi Peter
Many thanks for your reply. I have looked on 1837 online, back from 1891 when first child (that I know of) was born, but no joy. I suppose it is possible they didn't marry, although Williams birth cert gives mother as Mary Ann Dooley formerly Smith. Maybe she was telling fibs!!
Anyway, thanks for trying
Chris

Hi Chris
Were they or wern't they ? I had expieriance of the same thing with a family member of mine ,back in 1891 census they were Mr and Mrs Bennett, and Mr and Mrs Bennett again in 1901 census having had four children in between. I eventualy found there marriage in 1906!!
So it seems they were not the only ones.

Hi Peter
I feel so close to finding her yet so far away. I am going to the Cheshire Archives Office on Wednesday don't know wether or not it will help me, as it is the first time I will have been, I am hoping I won't get too easily distracted, once again thanks for all your time and effort also to Angela.

Peterbennett
Hi Peter
Many thanks for the census records. I found it hard to believe there were only 2 offspring of John and Elizabeth. John and Mary are also of interest as I think they are John's parents, Martha is a new one to me and needs further research.
Thanks again

Hi Peter
Went to the records office on Wednesday, managed to confirm Josephs father as being William and his Mother as being Mary and found his brothers and sisters, which was fantastic. Now need to see if I can find Marys maiden name.
I couldn't find Catherine Ann Quin on any census or a record of her birth, really frustrating but I have decided to go back again and try, as I might have missed something. It does look like the family you found John and Jane Quin could be her Mother and Father but I wonder where Catherine could have been? I shall hopefully be a bit more organised the next time I visit as at one point I found myself looking at a microfilm I had already looked at!
[/i]
Hi Judith
Well done with your finds. The records office can be a bit daunting first time, its about 20 years now since I last went to Chester, It was a not as busy in them days. Being disabled I rely on my sister if I need anything from there.
Anyway getting down to bussiness I have on my marriage index the following Index
27/1/1835 at St. Peters Hargrave parish of Tarvin
William Ankers (Tattenhall ) married Mary Hopley ( Malpas )
married by banns. It may be worth a look, although son George would have been 3 years old by then, so maybe not. But there again you never no !
info on St. Peters
Hargrave, St. Peter (C of E). A chapelry in Tarvin parish, a separate parish from 1878 comprising the townships of Foulk Stapleford and Huxley. Registers of baptisms 1744-1883, marriages 1746-49 and burials 1744-1813 are at the CRO. Registers of marriages from 1841 are at the church. Bishop's Transcripts 1632-1889 are at the CRO. Memorial inscriptions have been published by the FHS of Cheshire.
It would be the Bishops transcripts you need to veiw
good luck
peterbennett

Thank you again Peter for all your help, I am hoping to go to the CRO again in July, so I will take a look at those transcripts and keep you posted on how I get on.
Take Care Judith

Hi Chris
Could you look up the following for me in the parish records.
Samuel Roscoe born app 1820 Neston
He married Elizabeth Jones in 1845 at st Mary'sSt Helens Neston Cheshire West

Hi Fifer
Sorry but the index only covers marriages, and is not complete for Neston, the only marriage I found was
1808 EDWARD ROSCOE TO ANNE HUGHES at ST. MARY HELEN.
I searched the 1841 for Willaston/Neston unfortunatly there is no index, (pages only) and only about 20% is readable. So he could have been there but I cant see him.
sorry

Hi Chris,
I would like to take advantage of your offer of a lookup for Cheshire marriages.
This time I am looking for John Bolland living in Tarporely in about 1818, his son Joseph was born there.( this is from the 1851 Liverpool census)
With any luck it may have been his home town and John may have married there, the only other piece of information I have is that John was listed as a farmer on Josephs wedding certificate in 1841.
Many thanks ,
Kiwi.

Hi Kiwi
I have searched the parish index for Tarporley
and found no Bolland (or variations of) marriages.
Only 3 John Bolland found around that area at about that time.
1) marrying Elizabeth Davies at Nantwich 1808 he a surgeon
2) ~ Sarah Faulkner at Waverton 1810 he from Tarvin
3) ~ Elizabeth Evans at Chester St. John 1819
I then looked on the 1841 census for Tarporley and found
a likely family
HO 107 96-33 folio 13 Tarporley
John Boland 60 ag lab born in county
Elizabeth Boland 60 ~ ~ ~
Sarah Boland 30 not ~ ~ ~
Clara Boland 5 ~ ~ ~ ~
This family I could not find in the 1851 census
but did find two other Bollands living in the next village a James and family and a Benjamin.
I have printed off the census pages and will email to you if required, please let me have your email address by private message.
Does the wedding cert. give the names of witnesses who may have been related ??

Hi,
I have been researching my ALDCROFT family from Cheshire for some time now. I have now got back before civil registration and need to look at parish records and have thought about getting the Cheshire Parish Records CD but am not sure how useful it would be to me.
Could you please try and look up my ggg grandfather John Aldcroft who I believe was born around 1796 and married Mary I presume before civil records began? I believe he would come under the parish of St Mary's, Bowden as most of the family records I have refer to New Chester, Sale.
Is there only one "Cheshire Parish Records" CD and who publlished it.
Thank you for your help.
Cheshirecat :)
-
Hi Cheshirecat
There are about 10 marriages at Bowden for the Aldcroft family but no John.
Can you paste in the details from the earliest census you have for John and family I may be able to trace them back.
The only near complete Cheshire parish records that have been published is the Bertram Merral marriage index. Which is the one I use. There are several indexes of individual townships dotted about the net and also the Philmores Cheshire marriage index which is a partial index coverering mainly east Cheshire.
If there is any info you need at any time please post on this site there are lots of people willing to help.

Hi Peter,
I do have the Bertram Merrell Marriage Index myself and I couldn't find John either! That is why I wanted to know if there was any more info on the parish records. Below is the information I have from the 1841 census
1841 Census H0107/91/5/Folio 9
Township: Sale(Parish of Ashton-upon-Mersey)
Address: New Chester
John Aldcroft 40 Gardener
Mary 40
William 20
Anne 15
Thomas 15
James 12
John 10
Joshua 12
Samuel 5
Martha 2
Thank you for your help!

Hi
Having looked at the marriages for your Aldcrofts it seems odd that John and Mary are not at Bowden or any other church in the area. There can only be two reasons
1 ) they have been missed of the bishops transcipts, not unusual
2 ) they didn't marry, or married out of Cheshire which does not make sense, sorry thats 3.
It looks like a visit to the Cheshire RO at Chester is the next step.
sorry not much help am I.
peterbennett
-
Hi Peter,
Well thanks for trying anyway! Maybe the BM index is not that complete. Unfortunately Chester is quite a long way away for me.
Do you know what happened to the Cheshire parish record transcription project that I think was being organised by somebody at Manchester Uni?

Dear Peter
Having been so helpful with my Lidgetts, and thanks again for that, could you help on the other side of the family ie Furber and Boote. Eliza Furber b 1821 in Audlem married Stephen Boote bc1819 in Bickerton I have their marriage cert 1846 in Manchester cathedral dist. Fathers are Sambrook Furber, butcher and John Boote, labourer. Stephen and Eliza later lived in Tattenhall and I have lots of info from there down but am unable to trace the parents. I did find Thomas Furber Eliza's brother also in Audlem in 1847 when his son Sambrook died. Any chance you can find marriage records for either Sambrook or John or early census records?

Hi,
I am looking for a birth of a William Swift abt.1856 and Sarah Ann Swift abt 1858 Father Charles Mother Harriet I think in Coppeshall also trying to find marriage of Charles Swift / Harriet Harvey before the 1851 Census.
Thank you for your help.

Peter,
Can you tell me which church would be the local one to Sale in 1800. It seems most of them did not exist then and I am getting very confused between the various old parishes.
I have found a marriage on the IGI index that mentions St Mary's Manchester. Would this be the same as St Mary's Bowden?
-
Hi Mable
Not sure there is a place called Coppeshall in Cheshire, did you mean Coppenhall ? if so then there are two, one in Staffordshire and Monks Coppenhall Nr. Crewe in Cheshire.
All the BMD records for Cheshire after 1837 can be found on this link
http://www.cheshirebmd.org.uk/
Also the same for some areas of Staffordshire I am not sure if Coppenhall as been indexed as yet
http://www.staffordshirebmd.org.uk/
If you need any further help then please reply.

Hi
St. Mary's Manchester was not associated with St. Mary's Bowden.
If your looking for Sale prior to 1840 ish it was a township in the parish of "Ashton upon Mersey, St. Martin (C of E), Church Lane. An ancient parish, comprising most of the township of Ashton upon Mersey, and the whole of Sale township. Registers of baptisms 1636-1960, marriages 1636-1947 and burials 1636-1939 are at the CRO. Bishop's transcripts survive from 1605. Memorial inscriptions have been published by the FHS of Cheshire."
The above is a quote from Genuki.
I believe a small section of A-u-M was in the parish of Bowden but if its Sale your after then I would plump for St Martins.
good luck and don't forget where we are if you need any further help.

Hello Chris,
Wonder if your Cheshire disk might have details of the birth of a William Lamb circa 1805. He was born somewhere called Tabley, Cheshire (which I think is near Knutsford).
If it has marriages, I'd be also be interested to know the surname of the lady called Jane that he married sometime between 1825-29.
Best wishes,
Gordon.
-
Hi Gordon
Sorry the index is marriages only, and there is no record of a marriage for William Lamb, tried various spellings.
Do you have early census records ? If not I may be able to help if they were in Cheshire.
regards
peterbennett
-
Hello Peter,
Very much appreciate the offer. Only info I have is from '71 census of Barton upon Irwell, Salford which shows William 66, a gardener, born Tabley Cheshire and wife Jane 73 born Chesterfield Derbyshire. He probably never returned to Cheshire.
But thank you for your help,
Gordon.

Hi Chris, I am new to this forum so I hope that I am using the correct format to ask a question. I am researching lots of branches of my family tree but at present am concentrating on the "Daniel" branch. I have got back to the early 1800's but have come unstuck with a lack of details on certain documents. Specifically I am trying to find out who were the parents of Isaiah Daniel of Norbury Hazel Grove, Stockport and where did they come from. From library records I know he married Ann Williamson at St Mary's church, Cheadle on 6th November 1821. But that is all it tells me. I do not know where to look for any other details about him. I know they were methodists of Welsh extraction. The family were coalminers. Can you offer any advise? Thanks Evelyn
-
Hi Evelyn
Welcome to rootschat, from what I can see you have managed to do very well up now, before I go over ground that you may have allready reseached can you tell me if you know that he was born Hazel Grove or elswhere , from early census records perhaps. What records have you searched at the Cheshire records office, if he was baptised at the
Hazel Grove (Bullock Smithy), Methodist Chapel (Wesleyan). Founded 1788. The registers 1794-1837 are at the CRO.
Sorry I have no info I can give you at the moment. please get back to us.

Hi Chris,
thanks for the kind offer.
I'm looking for an elusive ancestor named Arthur GIBBON. Arthur was born (according to his marriage cert and the 1891/1901 censuses) in about 1854.
The 1901 census says he was born in Macclesfield and on one of his marriage certs he gives his father's name as Matthew GIBBON.
There is no record of Arthur's birth in the national BMD indexes (and to complicate matters, the 1891 census says he was born in Stoke, Staffordshire!)
Anything you could dig up from the Cheshire Parish Records would be fantastic and very much appreciated.
Regards
Andy
-
Hi Andy
I will see what I can find for you, although parish records index will not show any more than the national registration index. And with out knowing the parish he was born in its quite difficult
Can you give all the details from the 1891 census including wife and children. Do you have him on the 1881
Can you give me a couple more facts from marriage cert
where and when and to who
what did his father do for a living
regards
peterbennett
-
Peter,
Thanks for your kind offer.
There is no record of Arthur Gibbon on the 1881 Census, and with not appearing in the national birth indexes either, he was very elusive for a while.
By the time of the 1891 Census he was living at 97 Olivia St, Bootle, Lancashire. The entry (as given to me) is:
Arthur Gibbon age 37 Tram car driver b. Staffordshire looks like Stoke
Elizabeth wife age 50 b. Salop Shrewsbury
Violet Parry, niece age 10 b Salop Westbury?
Sarah Parry. niece age 28? cook domestic, b. Salop Shrewsbury
William Jackson boarder age 43 ? driver b. Cumberland (can't make out the town.)
In 1901 Arthur and Elizabeth were resident at 45 Linacre Road, Bootle and had a son Arthur William Edward, who was born in 1892. (on this census record Arthur is listed as being 47 and born in Macclesfield, Cheshire and Elizabeth listed as being 36 and born in Shropshire).
The marriage was between Arthur Gibbon and Elizabeth Parry (I believe this to be the Elizabeth who appears on the census records – Elizabeth Gibbon nee Parry is listed as Arthur William’s mother on his birth cert). It took place in 1907, at West Derby Register Office (I’m afraid I don’t have access to all of my records at the moment, so can’t be more precise).
On the marriage cert, Arthur said that his father was a silk throwster.
Thanks again for anything you can find.
Regards
Andy
-
Hi Andy
I think you need a medium to find Arthur prior to 1891!
I have searched all the census's in Macclesfield and there is no Arthur. There is in the 1851 Macclesfield a
Matthew Gibbon unwed farmer 39 HO 107 2159 F 60 ??
Of course its possible that his mother was unwed at the time of birth and Arthur was registered under another name, and only took the Gibbon name at some later date. I dont have acsess to Staffordshire records otherwise I would search the Stoke census.
The age of 50 for Elizabeth in 1891 does not ring true, I would be more inclined to lean towards the 26 and spend some time searching for her in the 1881. Can her age be confirmed approx from the marriage certificate ?
Arthur is definately not on any Cheshire census.
sorry I can't be any more help.
peterbennett
-
Peter,
thanks for your help. Arthur has been trouble since the start. :)
I found a record that could be Elizabeth, on the 1881 census in Shropshire, but none of the Arthur Gibbon's make much sense.
It could be correct, the theory that Arthur's mother was unmarried, as there is some family folklore to this effect.
There is a Matthew Gibbon, unwed, aged 69 and from Macclesfield in in the 1881 census. It is quite intriguing, not to say tantalising to have him there.
Thanks again for all your help.
Regards
Andy

Hi Peter,
I wonder if you can help.
I am looking for a Maria Williams born approx 1842, Sutton Cheshire (according to 1881 census).
other information we have
Father - Robert Williams (from marriage certificate)
Sister - Harriet Williams born approx 1824 Parkgate Cheshire (from 1881 census)
I do not know of other siblings, however there may well be some as that is a big gap between Maria and Harriet
Hope you can help
Sue
-
Hi Sue
Not quite so easy, there are six Suttons in Cheshire.
Can you post the details of the 1881 census so that I can trace her back. I take it she was married on the 1881 as I can't find her has Maria Williams. If so where was she married.?
regards
peterbennett
-
Thanks Peter,
On the 1881 she is listed as Maria Mayson born c1843 in Luton Cheshire, a mariners wife living in Everton Liverpool.
However, as there is no place Luton in Cheshire, we ordered a paper copy of the census and the place can be read clearly as Sutton.
Maria's marriage certificate (3/10/1872 St Philip's Church Liverpool) lists her father as Robert Williams, Farmer, and her age as "full". She married Richard Mayson, mariner (another brick wall, but that's another story).
Her sister Harriett Williams is listed on the 1881 as age 56 born parkgate cheshire, living with her neice Alice Mayson (maria's daughter) a Sarah Jub (relationship other) who is seen on a later census with Maria's daughter Alice Maud Mayson.
We have only found Maria on the 1881 census.
Hope that gives you a little more to work on.

I have Hugh Berry born 1777 (and probably married) in Over Peover. I have no record of his wife. Also, his father Edward Berry was born in Great Budworth in 1730 but married a lady (again unknown) from Over Peover. Additionally, Edward's father Peter Berry was born in Great Budworth and may well have married there. Would it be possible to check the weddings oracle for these people? I would be very grateful for wives names and dates of marriages. In addition, given that both places were villages of under 400 people, it would be nice to know of any other Berrys in these parishes (siblings or forebears).
Many thanks

Hi Nick
There are a great deal of Berry marriages in Cheshire but no Hugh sorry.
As for the rest of the Berry marriages I would be willing to print them off and let you have them see PM

Hi Peter,
I guess my hunt for Maria Williams in Sutton is problematic. Too many Williams and too many Suttons!
Would it be possible to find her sister instead.
Harriett Williams born Parkgate Cheshire in c1824 (calculated from 1881) or c1831 (calculated from 1871) She was a servant in 1871 and head of her own house in 1881, so I feel the 1881 date is likely to be more accurate.
I don't have any proof that she ever married, she was still single on the 1881 census at age 56.
Her father was Robert Williams (from her sister's marriage certificate). He was a farmer.
Thanks
Sue
-
Hi Sue
Problematic yes definatly
I have not forgot and have a list of Williams to search, I think from what you have said, that, the Williams family originated from the Pargate/Sutton area of the Wirral I have searched all the Suttons Cheshire in the 1851 census which is the only name (surname only ) indexed census before the 1871 with no luck, but there is no way of knowing when they moved to Liverpool. There are approx 700 individual census pages containing at least one Williams in the Wirral/Birkenhead area, and there is no index at all for the 1841.
There are only 2 Maria's born in Cheshire between 1840 and 1845 according to the Cheshire Bmd one in Altringham and one in Runcorn I have searched the 1851 and found both of these niether has a father named William, so although your Maria states she was born Sutton Cheshire she was not registered there ??
sorry for the negative reply but I feel that a search of the 1861 Liverpool and backwards from there is your best option

Peter,
Thank you very much for your time and effort. I will follow back the Liverpool census and continue the hunt!

Sorry cant seem to tie in a marriage at that time in the runcorn area, is there a chance John and Ann came from another parish ?

Hi Peter,
I dont know whether John and Anne came from another parish.On IGI there are two children baptised Halton 1791/3 parents John Jackson/Anne,then from 1805-1813 there are 4 more including my William,the one born in 1805 Esther is probably sister to William.Esther married Jeremiah Percival in Manchester in 1826,but in the 1830's they had children baptised at Halton.On 1881 census William's daughter Martha is staying with Esther Percival in Widnes.

Hi I am new to the Rootschat site, viewing it for the first time today.
I understand you may have access to some Cheshire parish marriage records.
Could you see if you can trace any of the following (likely in one of the following churches - Northwich Witton St Helen, Great Budworth or Weaverham).
1. Thomas Stanway to a Mary Dickens around 1830 - 1860.
2. Ralph Stanway (father of Thomas above) to a Catherine ? (Surname unknown at this time). Likely before 1837 - as not showing on Cheshire BMD records.
3 Thomas Stanway (father of Thomas above) marraige to an Anne Ryder. Date unknown but anticipated around 1780 - 1790.
4. Randle Stanway (father of Thomas above) to a Sarah ? (surname again not known at this time.
Any help you can give to guide me to the particular church and date woudl be very helpful.
Thanks

2. Ralph Stanway (father of Thomas above) to a Catherine ? (Surname unknown at this time). Likely before 1837 - as not showing on Cheshire BMD records.
3 Thomas Stanway (father of Thomas above) marraige to an Anne Ryder. Date unknown but anticipated around 1780 - 1790.
4. Randle Stanway (father of Thomas above) to a Sarah ? (surname again not known at this time.
Any help you can give to guide me to the particular church and date woudl be very helpful.
Thanks
Bernard
Hi Bernard
Welcome to rootschat
The first one following was found in http://www.cheshirebmd.org.uk/
Thomas Stanway and Mary Dickens 1857 St Mary Gt Budworth no date
I could not find anything for Ralf and Catherine.
In the Bertram Merrill Cheshire parish marriages I found
Thomas and Ann Ryder 16/Feb/1792 St Mary Gt. Budworth
Randle and Sarah Read 2/Jan/1742/3 St Helens Witton
There are two entries for this marriage presumably because of a wrong transciption between church records and Bishops Transcripts
The records are I believe complete for Witton St Helens 1700-1837
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Gt. Budworth St Mary 1670-1837

Hi Peter
Thanks very much for the information on the Stanway marriages in Gt Budworth & Witton Churches. :)
This should enable me to go more directly to the marriaage records at the Chester RO - rather than trawl through a lot of micorfilms !
I am still confused over the missing record for Ralph & Catherine. I have no inclination that they were outside of the area at any time.
Ralph appears in 1841 & 1851 census in Castle Northwich along with wife Catherine in 1841 record (Kate in 1851 !) and son Thomas. I have no knowledge yet of Catherine's maiden name. Believed marriage was back beyond the 1837 start of BMD records.
Any other thoughts on other ways to follow this one up?
Thanka gains for the help so far

Hi Bernard,
The I.G.I. has any entry for a Ralph Stanway marrying a Catherine Hind on 31 DEC 1831 at the Cathedral Church of Manchester. It was not unknown for couples from the Northwich area to choose to marry at Manchester Cathedral, especially if they wanted a "quiet" wedding. You should be able to request a copy of the entry from http://www.manchester.gov.uk/libraries/arls/copying.htm
if you think it's a possible match and worth further investigation. HIND(E) was a name local to Northwich at that time, I have one or two making an appearance in my own research, but sadly no Catherine.
odessa.

Odessa
Thanks very much. This looks a very positive lead. :)
I do know Ralph & Catherine had a son Thomas born in 1835 or 1836 in Northwich, so fits in quite well.
I will follow up through the route you advise to check out if these are the correct pairing.
Thanks again for the help.
I find it very pleasing to see lots of people trying to help out with each others searches.
Bernard
-
Bernard,
If you do go to CRO to check on your other marriages and have time, look for the baptism of Thomas Stanway b.1835/6 in the "Auxilliary Baptism Registers" for St Helen's, Witton. These registers not only give the parents name/abode but also that of both sets of grandparents. Therefore if Thomas WAS baptised at Witton you would confirm Catherine's maiden name in these registers. ;)
Good Hunting,
Odessa.

Hello
This is the first time of using this site so please excuse any errors here.
I am trying to find birth and marriage records for John Armitage, I believe of Warrington.
Born circa 1820
Married Ellen Hayes circa 1837
Has child, David born 12/3/1843
It is believed they lived at Eldon Street, Warrington
-
Hi
Welcome
This record of Johns marriage was found on the http://www.cheshirebmd.org.uk
Cheshire Marriage indexes for the years: 1839
Surname Forename(s) Surname Forename(s) Church / Register Office Registers At Reference
ARMITAGE John HEYES Ellen Warrington, St Paul Warrington C27/1/111
What census records do you have, that should give an indication of where and when born,so assisting in tracing his birth records. The wedding certificate will give you his fathers name,this also should help in IDing the correct Armitage.
Good luck,and please get back if you need anything else

hi chris delighted you have access to cheshire parish records, i was in touch with you acouple of weeks ago before i went on hols.
my great grand parents were married in stockport parish church may 29th 1881, i have the cert, mary ellen pickston 22 spinster queen st stockport married james flanagan 30 bachelor, queen st stockport,
father of mary ellen joseph pickson, have not been able to trace him or Mary ellen's birth, on the census of 1881 she is living in queen st domestic sevant, place of birth given as salford.
james's father john deciced on cert, james's mother mary remarried we think a george lester, as on the 1881 census, a month previous to the wedding, james was living with his mother mary lester, at 1 barns court chestergate stockport. it states james was born in stockport. my information from a decieced uncle was james was brought over from ireland by his stepfather a bit confusing, as most of these things are, i suppose he could have been born in stockport and then gone over to ireland with his parents, but there wasn't many people going back to ireland in those days, so that is as far back as i have got with my tree, hope you can help. breda

Hi Chris,
If you are able, would you please look up 2 marriages for me.
Unfortunately, I do not have the maiden name of the bride but I do have baptism details for their children.
1.
Henry Darbeshire of Ashton upon Mersey and Alice ?.
The earliest baptism I can find in the Ashton upon Mersey parish register is Aug 9 1735 (born July 30). I think that Henry or Hen:, as he was shown in the parish register, was born in 1707, son of Richard Darbeshire.
and
2.
James Darbyshire and Ellen? also of Ashton upon Mersey. Their eldest son Philip was baptised Dec 5 1813 in Ashton upon Mersey. Father James was born in 1789, son of Philip & Margaret Darbyshire.
Thanking you in advance.
cheers

Most grateful if you could have a look amongst the Parish records for Marton-by- Congleton and Siddington for any information on the Potts (or Pott) family. I understand that there was a Joseph Pott(s) who was Parish Clerk at Marton in the early 1800's. Tks

Hi Peter,
I've traced my Cartwright line to a William Cartwright who was reportedly born in Nantwich (although the 51 and 61 censuses have his birthplace as Willaston) in approx. 1796 (he died in December 1873 aged 77 on his Death Certificate, although aged 80 in the Parish Records).
But then the line goes cold.
Do you have any marriages that might help me trace his parents?
Or do you have either of his marriages? He was first married to an Ann Davies who was buried 18.8.1827 aged 34. He then married Martha Brown, who was buried 29.1.1866, aged 61.
I would be grateful for any help.

Hi Thomas
I only have the marriage indexes pre 1837, the townships and churches of Marton and Siddington would be indexed under the umberella of the mother parish, Prestbury St.Peters. If you had a christian name for Josephs wife I could search for a marriage.

Hi Neil
Having searched the index I can only find a marriage for a William Cartwright and a Sarah Davis no Ann sorry, the wedding was on the 15-Nov-1819 at STAINTS Mary and Nicolas Nantwich, a copy of the entry could be obtained from the Chester RO, this may give you the parents names. There are to many Cartwright weddings in Cheshire to try and guess the right parents.
good luck and get back to us if you find a parent.

Hi,
I'm hoping those with Cheshire records might be able to find Peter Booth who was born in Appleton around 1812.
I have located them on the 1841 living in Bootle:
1841 census Bootle ref 0024 06 519/01
Peter 26 joiner, not in county
Ann 25 "
Edwin 2, born in county
Frederick 3mths "
plus
Mary 13 "
Sarah 40 "
Thomas 20, joiner "
Thomas 45 , glass cutter "
I don't know what relation the last four names are to Peter booth but they all appear to be Booth and say they were born in Lancashire.
Peter's wife, Ann, is from Grappenhall.
I'd like to find any info on Peter booth and the marriage of Peter and Ann, which I am presuming was in Cheshire. I suppose their marriage could have been just after 1837 and might well be registered but as I say, I would appreciate any information anybody is kind enough to give me.
Many thanks,
-

Hi and welcome to rootchat
The parish records I have are marriage indexes only, no births I am afraid, I can tell you that the township your looking for would be Handforth in the parish of Cheadle and the church records would be St.Mary's.
If you send an email to the Chester RO detailing the lookup you need, you may be lucky and get a free reply. The email address is recordoffice@cheshire.gov.uk

Hi Peter,
It's a marriage I was looking for, or rather two.
1) William H Bunnell to Harriet, probably Tarvin, although could be Kelsall, as she was born there. They must have married prior to 1881, as I have them together in the census and their first child was born in 1881.
2) Edward Bunnell to Mary, again Tarvin prior to 1835 as this is then their son was born.
Many thanks and Merry Christmas 8)
Rachel

Hi Rachel
All the cheshire marriages after 1837 can be found on this site, sorry can't see one for William and Harriet.
http://www.cheshirebmd.org.uk
The only marriage prior to 1837 for an Edward and Mary is on the 15/3/1819 St Oswald Chester Mary Houghland.
The marriage records I have are reasonably complete for that district but you can never say that one was not missed.
sorry
peterbennett

Peter
thanks for that
Rachel

Dear Peter,
:) Thanks for your quick reply. we would love to be able to give you more details about Thomas, but we are starting to wonder if whether our ancestor James actually had a father at all.
The only information we have is from James birth death and marriage certificates.
The birth certificate gives James' birth place as Bollington, regristration district Macclesfield in 1838.
His marriage to Rachel Valentine was in the registration district Ashton Under Lynne, St Paul's Church Stayley on May 19 1861
He immigrated to Australia circa 1864 and he died in Gympie, Queensland, Australia in 1911.
On each certificate his father is listed as Thomas Deane, labourer. His mother is listed as Mary
Thanks again

Hi Again
Still trying to find the area James lived in 1861, do you know if they had any children or not prior to them emigrating in 1864 ?

Hi Peter,
As far as we know the first child was John Thomas born in Gympie,Queensland Australia in 1869.
On James marriage certificate his place of residence was listed as Staly, his bride, Rachel Valentine is also listed as Staly for her place of residence.
Thank you so much for your efforts.

Hello and a belated Happy New Year to all Rootschatters.
I'd be very grateful for a look up for the following on Cheshire Parish Registers:
Marriage for William Jackson, born Stockport c1790
married Betty (surname unknown) probably at St Mary's Stockport or St Mary's Cheadle – unless they're one and the same church?
Year of marriage unknown but before September 1818 and probably not earlier than 1811.
If anyone's able to check for births, I'd also be glad of a look up for:
John Dutton b: 1813 Macclesfield, son of John Dutton, a Forgeman.
Many thanks

Hi
This looks like it could be the marriage its the only one anywhere near the right time lines
26/4/1819 to Elizabeth Hulme St. Mary Cheadle

There is no marriage indexed on the Cheshire bmd for Ruth the index only goes up to around 1900 for some parishes.

Hi
And welcome to rootschat.
There are no online birth records as yet for Wybunbury, maybe an email to Cheshire RO would be the quickest way to find it, mail to the address on this page link, you will receive a reply and they usually do a free search of a few years,so you never know,its worth a try.

Hi Roy
Welcome to rootschat
I have searched the index but non of the William Wright marriages stand out as being right,either date or district wise.
The index I have for Tarvin covers 2800 marriages, dates from 1563-1837 unfortunatly there are a few gaps.
sorry,it looks like you may have to try the records office at Chester
peterbennett
-
Peter,
Thank you for your prompt reply.
My ancestor Margaret Wright b. 1847 (m. George Hatton, Bunbury) consistently cites her birthplace as Tarvin in censuses 1871 onwards.
As you know I am new to RootsChat. How best should I initiate a look-up of the 1851 census for information re her parents?
All the best
Roy
-
Hi Roy
As it will proberbly be me thats looks up the 1851 its no problem to do it from where you are now.
Can you tell me if Margaret had any siblings you know of ?
peterbennett
-
Peter,
The putative siblings are:
William b 1828
Ann b 1836
Elizabeth b 1842
Sarah b 1844
All baptized in Tarvin, parents William WRIGHT and Ann, according to IGI.
I could find no suitable record for Margaret in Cheshire BMD births - I guess Tarvin has not yet been indexed for that period?
Also, Bennett happens to be an interest of mine.
This week I received the marriage certificate of Abraham BENNETT b.<1835> Bollington (1871 census) from Cheshire East RO citing John BENNETT as father. Both father and son were tailors.
I cannot find the family in IGI and there are too many Bennetts registered in Bollington in Cheshire BMD births to form a picture of the family.
Again, a look-up in 1851 or 1841 census could be very useful to me.
Roy

Peter,
Very helpful and a lesson to me on the shortcomings of IGI.
I forgot to mention that I believe I have located John Bennett in the 1871 and 1881 censuses Water Street Bollington b <1808>. However he was a widower by 1871.

Thanks Peter - that is great detail.
I will attempt to get Elizabeth's maiden name fom a post-1837 child. However, for a complete record I would be grateful if you could take a look in your marriage records of an early 1830's wedding around Disley - do they extend into Derbyshire?
Also, I have another Bennett 1841/51/61 census search request
Abraham m. Sarah Wainwright May 16 1858 Macclesfield.
Yesterday I received Sarah's birth cert. from Cheshire East CRO.
Sarah Wainwright born Apr 24 1839 Pott Shrigley
Father James Wainwright of Pott Shrigley, mother Frances Bennett
Also IGI has James Wainwright m. Frances Bennett Feb 3 1834 Prestbury
I cannot find James or Frances in the 1871 or 1881 census.
It would be great to to have the detailed picture of the family from 1841/51/61 census.
All the best

Hi,
would it be possible for someone to look up the marriage of Thomas Daniel and Martha Eccles?
Thomas was born in the parish of Cheadle about 1806.
Martha was born in Norbury about 1812/13.
They later lived in Norbury and Poynton.
Children included
Elizabeth born 1832/33 Norbury
Henry born 1833/34 Norbury
David born 1847 Poynton
Lydia born 1849/50 Poynton
Baptisms of these children haven't been found. The first two could have had a different mother considering the age gaps. Martha was the mother of David and Lydia.

Hi,
I've just discovered a possible new ancestor in Susannah Williamson who according to census information originated in Stockport in 1779.
The IGI mentions a Susannah Williamson born in Stockport 16 Dec 1779 but with no parents or christening. I'm not sure if this is the correct person and would love to find a christening for her. Similarly a Caleb Williamson with some event possibly a birth about 1781 in Stockport.
The family presumably moved to Prestwich and the same Susannah Williamson hopefully married James Cowburn in 1801.
Any information regarding records of Susannah or Caleb in Stockport would be very much appreciated.
Regards
Jean Sandra

I'm trying to find a family in Stockport with the name Boulton.
It begins with Samuel and Jane (born 1775) Boulton who had children including Thomas born 1823/24 and Eliza born 1814/15.
Eliza's children were born in Stockport and included
Jane born 1834/35
Ellen born 1839
Susannah born 1847
Alice born 1850
They all carried her name Boulton or her parteners name Thorniley.
If anyone could find baptisms etc for these family members I would be delighted.
Regards
Jean Sandra
-
Thanks for the great detail on the Wainwrights - the mother-in-law is nice bonus.
One more if I may.
I have the marriage certificate of William BADDELEY and Emma SMITH 1851 Talke oth Hill, Staffs. In later censuses their daughters Ellen B1854 AND Henrietta B1855 (this one also in Cheshire BMD) cite their birthplace as Linley, a hamlet just over the border from Talke which I believe is part of the Sandbach registration district.
Could you please look for the family in the 1861 census?
All the best
Roy
-
Hi Roy
Indeed the birth reg for Henrietta does say Sandbach on the Cheshire BMD, but as far as I know there is no Linley in that area, the only one I know of is in Shropshire,could be wrong,often am, its possible to search the Sandbach area although it may be easier with an address from the birth certificate, there is no name index and its quite a large area.
Do you have them in 1871 if so where?
regards
peterbennett

Hi Peter
Could you check a marriage for me, it's the couple you looked up earlier on the census for me. James Jepson and Ann, would have been in Heaton Norris, possilby around 1827/28.
Many thanks yet again.

Hi Rachel
Lucked out again sorry,St James church records are not on my index maybe Lancashire not Cheshire for the earlier records. Not sure if they have been published or not.

Hi,
would it be possible for someone to look up a marriage between William Dawson and Alice Wilson from around 1854?
Alice was born around 1839 in Weaverham.
The couple were living in Leftwich in 1871 with a 14 year old son also called William who had been born in Northwich/Leftwich depending which census is consulted.
They didn't appear to have the births of their children William, born about 1857 and Elizabeth, born about 1860, registered, so a baptism would be wonderful if anyone has registers for Northwich / Leftwich / Weaverham baptisms.
Any help with this family would be very much appreciated.

Hi
I have had a good search around the indexes I own, and could not find a marriage,but one thing I did look at was the possibility that the children's births were registered but in the mothers maiden name IE before she met and "married" Mr Dawson,and found the following on the Cheshire BMD.
William Wilson 1858 Northwich, he does not appear as Wilson on the 1871 census.
Elizabeth Wilson 1861 Northwich, she also does not appear on the 1871, worth buying a birth certificate maybe ?
peterbennett
-
Hi Peter,
yet again you never cease to amaze me.
Why didn't I think of something so logical as looking under the mother's maiden name for the births?
I will order the certificates and see what happens.
Many thanks
Jean Sandra
-
Hi Peter,
Just looked on CheshireBMD and possibly found 5 children of William Dawson and Alice Wilson who were registered as Wilson. The last one a Henry Dawson Wilson born in Northwich in 1870. However the one birth certificate I do have belonging to this family was for Ada Alice Dawson born 16 March 1872. Subsequent children were registered as Dawson.
I'm not sure if some significant event happened between 1870 and 1872 (marriage?) or if they just decided to register as Dawson and pretend they were married. Perhaps the earlier children didn't belong to William, I must send for the certificates.
Regards
Jean Sandra

Hi Jean Sandra
Good luck, hope I am right. Got my fingers crossed for you,let us know how you get on.

Peter,
Thanks for your efforts.
I was in England this week and saw there is a hamlet (or wood?) Linley Wood right on the county border by Talke - no idea how this is designated in the census probably a sub-district of Alsager.
I cannot find any of the family in the 1871 census other than a possinble widowed Emma Baddeley in the Stoke area. Both Henrietta and Ellen married in Crewe in 1873 and 1875.
I could order Henrietta's birth crtificate - Ellen is my ancestor.
All the best and thanks
Roy
-
Hi Roy
Thanks for the prod, there is indeed a Linley Lane in Alsager, but only part of it seems to appear in the Cheshire census, the rest must be over the border in Staffordshire, unfortunatly I cannot check the Staffs side.
When searching through the Cheshire side I did come across some Baddiley's that may be relavant to your family, but none of the names you gave me.
RG9-2613-F120 Alsager
Sarah Baddiley 16 servant born Talke of the Hill
RG9-2613-F117 Alsager
Mary Baddiley head widow 62 dressmaker Hanley Staffs
Jane ~ daug unwed 22 ~ ~ ~
William Tunstall gran/son 17 ag/lab Talke o t Hill
Elizabeth ~ ~ daug 13 ~ ~ ~ ~
Selina ~ ~ ~ 11 ~ ~ ~ ~
Think your next step would be to try a request on the Staffordshire board.

Hi Chris,
I can see you have been inundated and you're obviously a very generous person. Please could you help me by looking for the following marriages?
- Thomas Webb to Catharine Ashley who had a child in 1840 in Allostock, Cheshire. I have no other details.
- Sarah Webb to James Hayes. Sarah had an illegitimate child in 1866 and this child named James as her father on her own marriage certificate. It's a long shot but I can't find Sarah on any census records after 1866 and I haven't yet found a record of her death so I thought it wise to see if she and James ever married.
I would be very grateful for any help you can give me. Likewise, I have a number of Cheshire census records I can offer help with if you need it.
Regards
Jeanette

Hi Jeanette
Welcome to rootschat, and thanks for the offer of help,please feel free to jump in anywhere you think you can help.
Its Peter actually,not Chris, I sort of took over the Cheshire board about a year ago,being disabled it kinda helps to keep the old brain cells ticking over,and the disability also means I have a lot of time, hence the reason for "hogging" the board.
Having said all that I cannot help you with your request, sorry, neither of the marriages appear on any indexes that I have,maybe be another couple of those live together and pretend we are married relationships of which there were plenty.
Once again thanks for the offer of help, it would be most welcome.

Hi peter,
last week I asked for information regarding the birth of the children of William Dawson from Leftwich.
You suggested I send for certificates of children under the mother's name Wilson.
BINGO!
Today I received the certificate for Elizabeth Wilson not Dawson born 27th October 1861. the mother was Alice Wilson and living at London Rd Leftwich. The same mother and address as I thought but not her so called husband's name of Dawson!
Many thanks for leading me along this route.
I have since found William in Hinckley Leicestershire in 1851 with another so called wife Susan and their family.
What happened to them I don't yet know.
I certainly had some controversial ancestors.
Thanks again Peter for all your help.
regards
Jean Sandra

Hi Chris - what a wonderful offer - here goes
Do you have the marriage of Hannah BUCKLEY & Joseph DAVENPORT both of Siddington, in Cheshire which would have taken place around 1837, also, any of their children, if it's not too much trouble
As well as Siddington Church, they also used Gawsworth & Prestbury.
Thanks

Hi,
Can anybody help with any information about Ann Kinsey. The 1841 census, taken in Liverpool when she is Ann Booth has her as being from Grappenhall and 25 years old, so I am estimating that she was born around 1816.
She married a Peter Booth, of Appleton. Their first child appears to be Edwin Booth, born 1839, though in 1851 there is an Alfred W Booth present, who appears to be older. I don't know if ithis is a child of theirs though.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Cheshire Researchers

The CD allows you to browse, search and print Marriage Registers for all 5 volumes of W.P.W Phillimores Cheshire Parish Record Transcripts.

Chris in 1066Land
I am trying to find my great grandfather’s birth record which according to census information was around 1840 in Spital, Cheshire. However, despite searching the BMD sites (and visiting the FRO in London) there is no registration of his birth at that time (or any time around that date). My next search is to look in the Parish Records for that area. I have been to the SoG in London but they do not have the information I require – only indexes are available.
His name was Jonathan Edwards (father was Joseph according to his marriage certificate), mother unknown. 1871, 1881 show birth place as Spital/Spittle, Cheshire and 1891 Porton, Cheshire.
Any help would be much appreciated.
-
Hi
There are two Spital's and variations of the same in Cheshire,one is in Boughton Chester and the other is in the Wirral Poulton cum Spital,because of your referance to Porton 1891 census, I suspected a trancription error (porton/poulton )
There is a birth recorded in the Cheshire BMD for Johnathan 1840 Wirral http://www.cheshirebmd.org.uk/
The 1841 census shows

Hi Chris,
Hope you can be of help. I am looking for the marriage of Thomas Pugh and Jane Pealin. Thomas was from Willaston ( nr Neston ) and Jane from Halton. Their son George ( one of twins ) was born in 1840, so I guess Thomas must have married around 1837.
Hope this is sufficient info for you to get a result.
Thanks in anticipation.

Hello Chris,
I am hoping to find the birth record of Samuel Pope. He was born 1836 in Alvanley. On another document he says, Helsby.
A KS found a person I believe to be my Samuel Pope on the Helsby, 1851 census. He is listed as being a lodger, u, 15 yrs, born Alvanley.
He is living with a Dixon/Ainsworth family( ag lab.)
On the 1841 census, for Frodsham, there is an Eliza Pope,
b about 1817-1821 who is described as what looks like FL or HL
Living with a Sarah Nickson( b 1767 - 1771) Publican and her family. so perhaps this Eliza Pope was an unmarried servant. She is old enough to be Samuel's mother.
Also on the 1841 census, there is a
Thomas Pope b 1807 - 1811 Labourer
Ann, wife b 1822-1826( so not likely to be Samuel's mother )
Ann dau 6
Thomas son 4
Esther dau 6 mo.
When Samuel Pope married in 1870 in Widnes( Wesleyan Methodist chapel) to Ann Chadwick, the section on his marriage certificate for his father's name was left blank. (The bride's father's name, however, was entered.)
I would love to have any 'Popes' you come across as they may turn out to be relatives.
(I was told a long time ago by a member of the family, that she thought they had originated in Sandbach but that might have been one of those family stories as I have found no reference to Sandbach.)
Thank you for your kindness in offering these lookups.

Hi Griz

I'd be interested to know of any HINTON marriages which didn't take place in Lymm (I've got all the Lymm ones), and particularly Thomas Hinton/Miriam Something round about 1812.

Hi
There are a total of 79 Hinton marriages indexed in the Bertram Merril index of Cheshire,but no Thomas with a Miriam,sorry.
peterbennett

How about John Hinton and Mary 1768-ish? Also Samuel Hinton and Mary early 1850's or William Hinton and Absolutely-no-idea round about 1840?? I'm starting to think my Hintons didn't actually bother with marriage very often.... Thanks again for your trouble.
Sarah
-
Hi
I have a marriage for
John Hinton and Mary Davis Weaverham 26/1/1762
~ ~ ~ Mary Vernon ~ 29/11/1767
No marriages shown after 1837, they should all be in the cival registration indexes.
peterbennett
-
Thanks for the lead on John & Mary - the GRO online has bankrupted me for the time being, so 'll keep checking FreeBMD for updates. (I'm in France.)
-
Thank you, Peter. I was hoping that maybe there was a baptism for my Samuel Pope, b 1836, in the Alvanley area. I know the registration starts in 1837.
Also, I wondered if there may have been a Pope marriage just before that time, in that area, that may have been his parents. eg. Eliza as mentioned.
Perhaps he was illegitimate. Perhaps that's why his father was not mentioned on his marriage certficate
I haven't tried the office you recommend. Sometime I may do that.
-
Hi Griz
The latest records of marriages that I have for Frodsham St. Lawrence are
31/3/1823 Thomas Pope and Martha Penkerman
31/3/1824 Joseph Pope and Elizabeth Ball
sorry I cannot help any further but the index I have is not complete to 1837 in all areas.
I would contact the records office asap, I have seen many instances of mothers of illegitimate children although not naming the father, they leave a clue as to his ID sometimes with an unused middle forename for the child.

Thanks Peter, your help is much appreciated. :)

Thank you so much for the info on Jonathan Edwards. You were correct with the Poulton cum Spital area. We have been searching for him for a long time. Now we find he had at least 5 older brothers! The Jonathan Edwards from Wirral registered in BMD is not correct one - I have that birth certificate available if anyone wants it.
Your help with this was much appreciated.

What would I find on an 1839 marriage cert.
Is St. Elphins a church or area in Warrington?

Hi
St Elphins is the name of the parish (area ) and the church.
The marriage certificate would show
Date and place of marriage
Names of bride and groom
Age of bride and groom
Occupations
Residence at the time of marriage
Both fathers names and occupations
hope this helps

Sorry Peter, I don't know much about Joseph in 1841. i only know that by 1851 he lived with Eliza Boulton and continued to do so until after the 1881 census. In one census he was her lodger, in another she was his lodger, in 1881 they were supposed to be brother and sister.
I imagine that part of the problem was that he had been Joseph and Eliza had a number of children together and lived in Heaton Norris but as far as i know didn't marry.
In 1841 he was possibly in Heaton Norris where he later lived with Eliza but I don't know.

On the Cheshire genealogy mailing list, a KS has looked up and posted some burial records from Gt Budworth. Try a search(google?) with the following words:

Hi Peter
;D Re the illusive Samuel Harrison.
I just could not find him at first as you know.
So looked for his father George instead.
First thing to be found was at St Mary the Virgin Runcorn
John son of George and Mary Harrison of Norton Labourer baptised 5th May 1827 still no Samuel but this is the only glimps of George Harrison so press on.
Next to be found was
George Harrison and Mary Taylor married at St Elphins Warrington / could this be them?
Names same as the baptism for John.
Then 1851 census for Runcorn gave
Mary Harrison wife 52 Cheshire Arley
SAMUEL HARRISON son 21 Waterman Runcorn
Ann Harrison Dau 18 Dressmaker Runcorn
James Harrison son 8 scholar.
Dont know where George or son John were so to make sure this was the right family sent for the bc for James Harrison.
Sure enough father was George and mother was Mary Taylor.
Maybe Samuels baptism was not recorded?? Maybe he was baptised later?? But at least I am on the trail of the family now.
Phewww.
Just need to find where George was born now and get tracking on that one.
regards ;D

hi peter
i saw your thread about the 18th century parish records and was wondering if you could find any of the Bowler family from Marple, cheshire. the parish would seem to be Stockport, St Mary's or Marple, All Saints.
My earliest relative (so far) is my g-g-grandfather Charles Bowler b.1800 in Marple. ive found a few Bowlers from the area on the lds site but cannot tie charles in with them yet
Charles married a margaret Bennett c1823 before moving to Oswaldtwistle in Lancs.
Any info about any Bowler would be useful if not now then maybe in the future when i can maybe put the pieces together
thanks

Matthew Boothby born about 1818, he says Bollington., father Joseph. Matthew was married in 1845 Newcastle upon Tyne. I don't know how soon after his birth he moved e.g. with his mother and father or on his own.
My search for any more details in Cheshire have drawn a blank. Hope you can help.

Hi Jean
Can you tell me what sourses you have searched in Cheshire, the only thing I could maybe help with is to search for him in 1841 census, if you havn't already done so. Let me know. Also can you tell me his childrens names this may help identfy possible relatives.

Hi
Its me not Chris,
I think with this request you will have to purchase the certificates in order to obtain the full information, most parish records if they have been published are an index only and stop round about 1837 when the cival registration came in.
You may have some luck if you try the records office as they have the originals but may make a charge, its worth an email though you never no your luck. Thier address is on this link

Could you help please. I am looking for any information on a John Bennett and his family. Sorry but I don't know who he married. He was the father of George who was born about 1818 and lived in Sound, Wrenbury, Chester at the time of his marriage in 1839. I have Georges marriage certificate and all the information I have is his fathers name, and it gives Georges age as full.
-
Hello Eliz
I am strugling for a start on this one, the 1841 census does not show either a John or a George in Sound, can you give me all the info you have on George, where was he born ? any census info ? names and birthplaces of children ?
where and when did he die ?
peterbennett
-
Hello again Peter
Thanks you for your help. I am afraid that the only information I have on John is his name on Georges marriage certificate.
As for George he was born in Faddiley abt 1818 and married Betsey Boote on 28th January1839 in Wrenbury. She was born in Newhall. I have a copy of the certificate, their ages are full and residence at the time of marriage is Sound. Their children were born in the villages of Burland/Faddiley/Sound/Brindley.
In 1841 they were living in Burland, 51 Faddiley, 61 Acton Village.
On the 1861 census there are 2 visitors Ann Bennett aged 30 who might be Georges sister she was born in Acton and a child Joseph aged 8 months/Nantwich.
George died in 1866 and Betsey in 1885.
I am trying to find out when George was born and also any information on John. As I cannot find out via census and other infomation on line does this mean I have to visit the records office, I would be grateful for any help you can give me.
Many thanks

Hi Eliza
Sorry I did not remember it was me who did the previous lookup for you.
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,40118.msg166259.html#msg166259
There is nothing conclusive showing up in the 1841 census for John Bennett, however I do have one in Faddiley aged 50 wife is Ann also around 45/50.
Also found a marriage indexed for a John Bennett and Ann Davenport at Acton St Mary 14/2/1814.
Acton would be the correct parish church for Faddiley.
It may be best if you send an email to the records ofice with the details of George and date c1818 and ask for a search at Acton St Mary, here is the link

Hi Ruth
I have a record of a marriage of a Thomas Gettings and Elizabeth Ravenscroft at St Johns Knutsford on Christmas Eve 1810, unfortunately it is only an index with no further info.

Thank you Peter, most appreciated

I have got the marriage cert of a Jospeh GORMAN who married in 1901, Liverpool.
He was born 1877 Birkenhead (according to 1901 census.
On his marriage cert it has fathers name only (Mark GORMAN, deceased)
Do the Parish records have the mothers name too or is it fathers name only?
Really not sure where to go with this one.
Appreciate advice/help!
Thanks
Amanda
-
Hi
Sorry the parish index I have only shows marriages pre 1837.
I have looked on the Cheshire BMD http://www.cheshirebmd.org.uk/ but there is no marriage of a Mark Gorman, nor is there a birth of a Joseph Gorman, can't seem to find him in the 91 or 18881 census either.
A bit of a mystery ???
peterbennett
-
Hi Peter,
Thanks for looking for me.
It is proving to be a bit of a mystery. It has been suggested that perhaps Joseph didn't know his father and put any name down (or a grandfather) on his marriage cert.
Very frustrating!
Thanks again
Amanda

Many thanks again Peter. I will do as you suggested and contact the records office.

Hi,
Could you help me looking for a Ralph Neild born in Bowdon about 1833.
His wife was Mary Jane and they are in the1871 census, with 2 children born in the Bowdon area - John H,1864 and Harriet K,1865.
He was dead before the 1881 census but had a child who was 2 in 1881 so he must have died between 1878 and 1881.
There is a Ralph Drinkwater Neild in the IGI that fits the bill but I have no knowledge of that middle name.
Thanks, Dave Campbell
-
Hi Dave
Welcome to Rootschat
This is what I have managed to find in the various census and marriage indexes
Ralf Neild married Mary J Margerson Bowden St Mary 1862
1861 RG9-2590-F 88 Bowden Cheshire
Ralf Neild serv 27 unmarr groom Sparflone ? Cheshire
working for the Hutton family, Merchants of African Goods

John Nield head 47 Gardener Bowden
Mary wife 45 Longsight Lancashire
Elizabeth daug 22 Bowden
Ralf son 18 ag/lab Sharlton ? Cheshire
Mary Jane daug 15 Timperley
Harriet daug 9 ~
John son 7 ~

John Nield 36 gardener born in county
Mary 34 not born in county
Elizabeth 12 yes
Thomas 10
Ralf 8
Mary 5
Martha 3
Harriet 10 months
There are several marriages that could be of interest although I have not found one for John and Mary mother and father of Ralf Drinkwater Neild c1833, as Mary was born Longsight the marriage could well be in Lancashire.
2/Sept/1856 Bowden Richard Neild (tailor) and Hannah Drinkwater by license
29/July/1792 Bowden John Nield and Sarah Drinkwater
Births 1/Sept/1803 Bowden John Nield father John mother Sarah
There is also another Ralf Drinkwater Nield born Bowden 1806 again father John mother Sarah
hope this helps, if I can find anything else I will post again or if you have any queries please ask
peterbennett

Thanks Peter, thats brilliant.
I have spent all day looking for Ralph Neild in the 1861 census on Ancestry without luck - he only shows up when I use the folio ref you gave me.
It looks like the Ancestry index is a bit flakey.
Cheers,
Dave

Dear Peter,
:) Thanks for your quick reply. we would love to be able to give you more details about Thomas, but we are starting to wonder if whether our ancestor James actually had a father at all.
The only information we have is from James birth death and marriage certificates.
The birth certificate gives James' birth place as Bollington, regristration district Macclesfield in 1838.
His marriage to Rachel Valentine was in the registration district Ashton Under Lynne, St Paul's Church Stayley on May 19 1861
He immigrated to Australia circa 1864 and he died in Gympie, Queensland, Australia in 1911.
On each certificate his father is listed as Thomas Deane, labourer. His mother is listed as Mary
Thanks again
Rosndel :-*
Peter
We are wondering whether you have found anything more on our search for records for a Thomas Deane and his wife, Mary (Boothby) in Cheshire, and their son James, born in Bollington near Macclesfield on the 14 April 1838.
We noted a posting from Jean (registered name - Skylark) about Matthew Boothby born ca.1818 at Bollington and married in 1845 at Newcastle-on-Tyne. We wondered whether he might be in the same family as Mary Boothby, being of the same family name in the same area.
Can you help us?
Rosndel
-
Hello
Sorry I've taken a while to get back to you. My problem. - Matthew Boothby b. 1818 Bollington/Rainow father Joseph.
Matthew was in Newcastle upon Tyne Northumberland in Oct 1845, when he got married, and never returned to Cheshire, as far as I can tell. I don't know whether he went to Northumberland with his parents or alone. or which year prior to 1845.
I don't know of any siblings or his mothers name.
My information comes from his marriage certificate and 1861/71/81 census. I haven't been able to check any Cheshire records so far.
I am stumped, hope you can help me.
Jean
-
Hi
I have looked in both Bollington and Rainow and there is no sign of your Boothby family.
I did notice in one of your previous post that Matthew had a child in 1848 and by 1861 he was a widower? can I suggest you search for the death of his wife, it may be an idea to search the area she died.
sorry cannot help at the moment
peterbennett
-
When you have a moment, any information at all, on any "Hignett" male marriage, would be very much appreciated.
I don't think there will be all that many, but Thornton-le-Moors, Weaverham, Crowton, Onston would be the probable areas.
Thanking you, in anticipation,
Sandra Hignett
-
Hi Sandra
There are more than you think I have found details of approx 150 male Hignet(t)(it)(itt) marriages in Cheshire the majority of which are in the areas you mention.
Have you any specific names you are looking for ?
peterbennett
-
Wow, how's that for service!
The reason all this family history started is because i own a family bible and the first entry in it is by Samuel Hignett, born January 19, 1746/47 in Thornton le Moors. He died in January 1817.
I live in Somerset, so I am trying to use the internet as much as I can, and came across this forum only this afternoon.
I have no records at all any earlier than 1746/47, but if you can find anything, with the spelling Hignett, and for now ignore the others, does that narrow your search down, to at least a manageable number?
For this reason I am unable to give you any Christian names, but a bit more information about "my Samuel".
He married Hannah Manifold on 5 October 1772 by licence. Thomas Hewson was the vicar and the witnesses were Joseph Hignett and Peter Manifold. We might assume (dangerous, I know!) that Joseph might have been his brother?
So for a start, maybe try Samuel, Joseph or William!
Thanks again,
Sandra

Hi
l wondered if you could find any information on Cowdell of Stockport.
l know my g/g/g/grandfather Enoch was born 1797 to Joseph and Sarah Cowdell. l would like to find out where Joseph came from. His surname seems to have been changed from Cowgill to Coldhill to Cowdell some where along the way. Possibly originating as Cowgill from Thornton In Craven. West Yorkshire.
Enoch moved to Thornhill. West Yokshire but l don't know if he married Ann Dixon before he left Stockport.
Any information would be really helpfull.
Thanks in advance.
Regards Pam
-
Hi Pam
There doesn't seem to be a marriage for an Ann Dixon and a Enoch in the indexes that I have, which are fairly complete for that area.
When did he move to Yorkshire was he there at the 1841 census ? Did Ann originate from Stockport ?
I looked for a marriage between Joseph and Sarah but did not find that either.
Not a lot of help, sorry
peterbennett
-
Hi Peter
Thanks for trying.
l'm not sure but l think they were probably in Yorkshire by then, either Thornhill or Thornton In Craven.
l know Enoch was born or christened July 1797 in Stockport but that's all.
Thanks for trying.
Regards Pam
-
Thanks for that Clowes information - its great.
I hadn't come across the cheshirebmd site before, do you know if there are similar sites for other counties - it looks like a better way than using 1837online?
Cheers,
Dave Campbell
-
Hi Dave
There are some other counties involved in the same type of index as Cheshire, maybe they are not so advanced as Cheshire but they are getting there.
http://www.ukbmd.org.uk/
Also before trying the 1837 online you should give the free BMD site a look, again it is not complete.
http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/cgi/search.pl
regards
peterbennett

Yes - I'm familiar with freebmd.
The problem is with people that don't appear to exist - with freebmd it could be that they're not covered yet.
I'll try ukbmd.

Hi
No sorry it is purely an index of marriages, it is even unlikely that the full parish register entry would give parents names. You would need to find James birth for that.

Thank you! I have a feeling that the latter Warrington entry might be the father of the Warrington I was looking for, as the timing is just about right and the place is also right. Is there a later entry for a Thomas Warrington marriage, say 1820s?

I forgot to add, Thomas Warrington would have married a woman named Elizabeth. I found him living with one in 1861 and 1871 censuses.

Thank you so much! Those census entries are definitely for my Thomas Warrington, the butcher! They closely match what I found on the 1861 and 1871 censuses. The marriage to Elizabeth sounds about the right time and I had considered the possibility of a first marriage, as Elizabeth would have been qutie young my g-g-g-g-grandmother Christiana Warrington (his daughter) was born. I am surprised that Christiana is not living with them in the 1841 census though as she was born somewhere between 1826 and 1831

Hi Jools

Unfortunatly my indexes are for marriages only, and there is nothing showin up in the IGI for a Roger Marsland.

I have no idea if there were other children of John and Hannah. Would it be difficult to check for a marriage of John Hallam and Hannah [--?--] at Pott Shrigley from, say, 1800 on?

Hi Peter, Did you have any luck finding James Crowder
married to mary regards June
-
Hi June
So sorry I did not reply earlier :-[ but I could not find a marriage on any indexes that I have for Cheshire. I did wonder if they had married in Liverpool which would not be unusual, and found a marriage at St Nicholas between a James Crowder and a Mary Rogers dated 9/Jan/1815, I checked the births in the parish register for Neston and found a Mary Rogers baptised 3/March/1793 father John mother Margaret.
I could not find a marriage or death for this Mary Rogers in Cheshire prior to 1815 so its possible she could be the one, but how to prove it I don't know, the St Nicholas parish records may hold the answer.
I also noted that James and Mary had children named John and Margaret, mind you with ten children the odds are in favour of a match.
Can I suggest you place a request on the Lancashire board and see what can be found.
good luck

I have found a record of a marriage at Leek Staffordshire of James Dawson Inn keeper widower and Catherine Low on the 21/Aug/1836 by licence.

Hi Peter
That is really wonderful - not what I expected but yet another avenue to explore. I am not familiar with marriage by licence - how and where would I find this information? Is it likely to provide any further help? Thanks again for your continued assistance.

Hi Wattsy
The marriage licence is normally a document that contains the details of the marriage, place, date, bride, groom and witnesses (not nessaraly parents) the church would be St Edwards and the records are kept at Staffs record office. You can find details of how to obtain a copy on this link, you may have to pay.
http://www.staffordshire.gov.uk/portal/page?_pageid=47,70360&_dad=portal&_schema=PORTAL
While I remember I had a email chat with a Macclesfield friend who has done a lot of reseach into pubs and breweries in Macclesfield and he sent me all the info he has relating to the Dawsons in the licence trade in Macclesfield,much of it just confirms what is known already plus some extras. details below
Checking my records for the White Bear, King Edward St. - I have the following licensees listed (mainly from trade directories)
1818 Joseph Shaw
1822-3 E Dawson (London Directory)
1824 Elizabeth Dawson (Piggot & Dean)
1825 ditto
1828-30 ditto (Piggot)
1838 James Dawson (I have a mention of James in 1831 also)
1841 ditto
1844 ditto (Slaters)
1846 ditto (Williams)
1848 ditto (Slaters)
1850 Edw. Dawson
As for the Lamb, Stanley Street. - I have the following relating to the Dawson family:-
1818 Thomas Dawson (Piggot)
1822-3 James Dawson
1828-30 ditto (Piggot)
In Pigot's 1838 Directory there are 3 Dawsons listed:-
Mrs Elizabeth Dawson Great King Street
James Dawson, vict, White Bear, King Edward Street
John Dawson, vict, Struggler, Watercotes
The first two are also listed in a Piggot directory for 1841
In Slater's Liverpool Directory we have;-
Dawson Mrs Betty, Great King St.
Dawson James, vict. White Bear, King Edward S.
Dawson John, shopkeeper, Park Green
By 1857 the only directory entry (relating to the licenced trade) is for a John Dawson (beer retailer - Steeple Street. Possibly the Franklin). He is still there in 1860.
By 1864 no Dawsons associated with the trade.

Hello Peter
Yet again I have to thank you and especially your Macclesfield friend who supplied all the above information. I really don`t know whether to scream with delight or frustration.
Could I ask your opinion on the above - do you think it is likely that the original licensee of the pubs was one Thomas Dawson who presumably died and then the license was taken over by his wife Mrs Elizabeth Dawson, who in turn passed it to their son James? Does this seem likely? The problem seems to be that there are two separate public houses involved. Would the original licenses which are housed at Chester hold any additional information that might clarify the situation?
Any help would be appreciated.
Kind regards
Wattsy

Hi
The original licence would tell you who it was granted to.
It does look though that James took over the White Bear around mid 1830's prior to that Thomas and Elizabeth seem to have run the two premises between themselves, but whether they both held a licence or not I couldn't guess.
hope this helps

Hi Jools
I have had no luck finding your family marrying in Cheshire, It was normal practice to marry in the parish of the bride, I would say that Sheffield or Manchester (first child born there) would be the places to look.

Hi
It would seem that when I checked the 1861 census it says that Elizabeth was born in Hough Lincolnshire, not Lancashire. It is likely that they would have married in Lincolnshire or Rusholme areas, as their daughter Harriet was born in Rusholme c1829 I would suggest they haven't moved from that area and you should look there for an 1851 census lookup.
You need some local knowledge, if you post on the Lancs board at this link you should get some help. http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/board,233.0.html

Could you please see if there is a marriage for John Clayton and Ann Grady (possibly "O'Grady")? They had their first child, Mary Jane, in Stockport in Apr/Jun 1845. Ann was born about 1823 in County Mayo, Ireland. I can't find any marriage record for them at the Cheshire BMD.
I'm not sure where the marriage would have taken place, but my ancestors mostly lived in St. Mary's ecclesiastical district, Stockport First sub-registration district, if that helps.
-
Hi and thank you for your offer of help.
I have very sparse information I'm afraid. On every census between 1871 to 1901 and also her marriage certificate Margaret Anne Kent birth date works out to be 1845 and her place of birth is Hinderton, Neston. I have failed to find her birth entry in the indexes, nor have I found her in either the 1851 census for the Neston area or 1861 census for Cheshire or Lancashire, and she was a servant in the 1871, having moved to Wavertree by then, so I also have no idea what other family she has except for her father named on the marriage certificate as Thomas Kent, Blacksmith.
Is it possible that your records could show a marriage for this man in the 1830/40s hopefully in the Neston area? I know there is one with Anne Mills in Chester, St Mary in 1839, would this be too far away from Neston? could there be one nearer?
Thank you for trying to help.

Hi,
Could you help me again please?
I am looking for info on Thomas Clowes born 1787 married sarah rigby in 1812.
I have them in the 1851 census and it would be nice to see the entry for 1841.
Also, James Clowes - father of William Clowes. William was born 1814.
There are 2 possibles for James in the 1861 - 1787 siddington and 1787 bosley.
Thanks
Dave Campbell

Hi
Can you give me the full details of the 1851 census you have for Thomas Clowes 1787.
The 1841 census is not name indexed, which means I need to find then in 51 and then search the same area in 1841.
The James and Jane you found in the 1861 are not indexed in 1851, nor are they in Siddington in 1841.

l wonder if either of you could possibly find the marriage of John Tipping to a Mariah ? possibly Knutsford.
John was born 1811 and their first child was born 1841 in Liverpool.
Sorry this is sketchy but it's all the info l have on him in Cheshire.
Regards Pam

Hi Pam
Sorry there is nothing for a John and Mariah showing up in any of the Cheshire indexes.
I see from the 1861 census that Mariah was from Rochdale, maybe thats another place to look.

Hello Peter, Could you see if a Matthew Horrocks was baptised in Warrington in about 1832. His father was Peter. I'm afraid that's all I know about him.
-
Hi Janice
Sorry can not find anything for a Matthew Horrocks, the family do not seem to be in Warrington on the 18411851 census either.
The only record I can find is for a Matthew Horrocks 1832 Wigan father John.
good luck
peterbennett
-
Thanks for looking Peter. I have a feeling the family had moved to Manchester by 1841. However, would it be possible for you to see if there is any record of a marriage for Peter Horrocks before 1837 (in Warringto).
Also I'm looking for Mary Slater, in Warrington, a widow in 1841 and a Joseph Slater b ca 1798 and Matthew Slater b1812. Finally, and this is a long shot was a Matthew Slater born to Elizabeth in 1832 or thereabouts?
Thank you for your efforts, Janice.
-
Hi Janice
The only BMD records that I can veiw prior to 1837 for the Warrington area are from ones extracted from the IGI.
In there is a record dated 19/Aug/1832 Matthew Slater mother Elizabeth.

Hi
The only marriage I can find is 27/April/1805 at St Peters Liverpool between William Powell and Ester Clark, it would not be unusual for a couple from the Wirral to wed in Liverpool.

Thanks Peter, I went to the central library last night and checked the wedding in the church records but it said labourer of this parish and Esther the same parish so wasn't sure if it could be the same couple. I has been looking for William's birth and had no success but did find a burial in 1871 on 6th Feb aged 98 so that was him! I will request for someone to check the 61 and 71 census now to see what happened to the farm, I assume young Will and family continued to live there until it was overrun with a housing estate, Hillview Ave marks it's demise (I checked on an 19C map last night). Meanwhile more searching!

Hi,
Have been looking for a marriage forever and this is probably a long shot. John Jackson (born Lymm) married Ann/Anna/Anne/Annie Cowsill (born Lymm) c. 1854, both born c. 1823/24. I believe both resided in Lancashire in the 1850 time frame. I may have found John in 1841 and 1851, but I have doubts on the entries. Ann/Anne/etc. has not been found until 1861. They do not appear on the indexes for any year. I hired a researcher who has assured me their marriage doesn't appear in the Lymm parish registers. I know their births are both entered, but nothing else.
If you could look and see if there is anything, anywhere for a John Jackson/Ann Cowsill marriage, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Judy

Hi Judy
I can find nothing in any of the Cheshire BMD indexes for the marriage, did they actually marry, or had Annie been married before and so married with another name ?
sorry not to helpfull

Hello Chris
I wonder if you could find the marriage of Susannah Brooke to ? Stevenson in Malpas or possibly Harthill. Don't have an exact year but probably around the 1760s.
Thanks very much!

I am hoping you may have the marriage of George Rosedale to Frances Wynne in Shotwick c1790 on your records disc.
Any information about either would be greatly received.

Hi Lorrie
Yes the marriage is indexed but it gives no other details than St Michaels 13/9/1790.
If you send an email to the RO at the address on the link below and give them the details you have it will not take them many minutes to look up the original.
peterbennett

Thank you Peter will try that. Up to now have found no details at all about Frances so hoping for breakthrough.

Peter,
Could I be cheeky & ask for another check of your disc for the marriage of Richard Rosedale & Mary Flewitt in 1756?
Any other details would be appreciated.
Cheers
Lorrie
-
Hi
There are two versions of the same marriage in the index both dated 2/8/1756 at St Oswalds Shotwick the differance is in the spelling of Mary's name in one its Fluitt and the other say's Plewitt.
There is a note that say's Richard Junior
peterbennett
-
Thank you Peter.
I havent yet found baptism records for either of these. I have checked IGI, CPRdb any other suggestions?
Looks like I may have to plan a trip to the CRO.
Regards
Lorrie
-
Hi Lorrie
Sorry, there is no other way except the RO, it will be a few years before the CPRdb is complete.
Although the last marriage for Richard said junior I cannot find one for a Richard senior, so you may need to be looking in another county to get further back.
peterbennett
-
Thank you Peter,
I thought ihe Jackson/Cowsill marriage request was a long shot and it appears so. I have checked out an earlier marriage of Ann Cowsill, but the facts didn't match Ann's details.
The suggestion that they were never legally married is looking to be the answer.
Thanks again.

Hi Peter,
I wonder would you mind confirming what happened to this family in 1861,1871 and 1891. I know Margaret died aged 7 and they have 2 more daughters and 2 sons and move to the Black Horse pub in West Kirby before 1881. Eldest son Thomas takes over the farm (I found his and Hannah's grave in churchyard of the church were they were married, d.1895 and 1903 respectively) and William Snr dies in 1871 at the grand age of 98. I'm trying to find out what happened to Hill View farm in those years. In 1881 nephew John is living next door in Victory Cottage but I can't find his marriage to Elizabeth and then they disappear. Thanks

Hi Sue
Non of the 1861 census indexes show William sen or junior as being in or around West Kirby/Grange area, my guess is that they have been missed by the enumerator/transcriber for some reason. I have my own copy of the Cheshire 1861 and have searched every page and not found them, I did notice that there was no "pub" shown in Grange so I checked the Whites 1860 directory and this shows William Powell as victular of the Chesnut Horse, so why he was missed I can't imagine.
From the 1860 directory
Grange is a small township in the Lower Division, of the Wirral Hundred, 8.5 miles N. from Great Neston, contains 850 acres of land, and in 1851 had 19 houses and 105 inhabitants, of whom 50 were males and 49 females. Rateable value £1,044 12s. The village of Grange is sometimes called Little Caldy. John Shaw Leigh, Esq., is the principal landowner and lord of the manor, The trustees of Bennett,'s charity own 242 acres in this township.

Hi Chris, I am trying to confirm the parentage of William Brockley who married Sarah Latham in Minshull on the 29th Dec 1836. He was born in Leighton nr Crewe, according to the Census stats 1813-1815 ,depending upon which year you use! However, there is some difficulty about this because his birth certificate details indicate that he was born in 1812.(He died in 1878 in Holywell, Flints aged 66 yrs) Consequently ,on searching some of the parish registers for his likely parents, I'm having some problems in identifying likely parents. I have discovered, for example, that a William Brockley married Elizabeth Barrow in the parish of Nantwich on the 19th January 1814 and that a son William was born to William and Elizabeth Brockley in Leighton Green ,Coppenhall on the 21st March 1815,probably the same William and Elizabeth mentioned earlier. Clearly, my concerns arise from the earlier birthdate of 1812 suggested by the death certificate and I am wondering whether you would be able to identify from your information source other likely marriages in neighbouring parishes around the 1810-15 period which might help clarify the situation. It is also possible that William's grandparents were William Brockley and Mary Bebbington who married in Coppenhall Parish on 11th May 1771. I would be extremely grateful if you could help me in any way. Regards Ter
-
Hi Ter,
William Brockley married Jane Wilkison 29/12/1808 at Coppenhall
William Brockley married Christian Tomlinson 17/10/1810 at Coppenhall
Don't know if this helps or makes it more confusing!
Jean

Hi Jean, Many thanks for the information. I have recorded this information previously and in fact the William(s) you have listed are one and the same person.I believe he remarried. Both marriages appear to have taken place in Warmingham but unfortunately I have been unable to find a son William for any of them. I will need to double check to make absolutely sure as the second date would fit!
-
Hi Ter,
Maybe you could ask for an 1841 lookup for William and/or Christian - it might give you some clues even though your William was already married.
Jean
-
chris, you are a miracle from God! My name is Martin Wilkins. i need the indexes for the birth year 1741, in Manchester the name of Thomas Burton, and the the name of Hannah Hey(s) but i have no year, if you have that. And also in Stockport St. Mary's parish, the birth year 1772 for the name George Burton, and 1776 for the name Hannah Ann Coffey, and the marriage years for 1766 in the Manchester Cathedral if you have it for the couple Thomas and Hannah burton for Nov. 30, and supposedly May 27, 1798 in St. Mary's parish in Cheadle, Stockport. if you could send me copies of those indexes, i would love you forever!!

Hi
Sorry there is nothing in the indexes apart from the marriage dates, I dont have any Lancashire (Manchester) indexes, sorry. If you want further details of the Cheshire marriages you will need to apply to the records office by email at the address on this link http://www.cheshire.gov.uk/Recordoffice/aboutus/recoffcontact.htm
good luck
peterbennett

the marriage are great! if you can email a copy of the index that would be wonderful, St. Mary's parish, Cheadle, Stockport, Cheshmire, supposedly may 27, 1798, George burton, hannah Ann Coffey.
-
Hi Martin
Sorry but I don't know what its that you want me to email, all it say's in the index is the two names and the date, which you already have. ?
These names and dates have been transcribed from the original parish records so are not direct copies.
regards
peterbennett
-
peter, i hoping that whatever index you had, what paper it is you are looking at that you have given me the names off, i don't know where this index is that you have found, maybe you can tell me where that is so i can see it. thank again.
-
Hi
The marriage of Hannah Coffey and George Burton is indexed in both the Bertram Merrell index of Cheshire marriages and the North East Cheshire Marriage index, both these indexes are produced by the Cheshire Family History Society.
You can find a link to the CFHS below.

hi peter, thanks again for your replies, i can't figure out how to find or access those indexes from the cheshire family history site, could you help me how to navigate the site and go where you went, please? thank you.

Hi
Sorry but the indexes are not on line, they have to be bought from the CFHS.

Hi Jean Sandra,
Not sure if this is coincidence or links in with your Daniel family in any way but going through Cheadle parish records at Stockport library, I came across a marriage entry for a John Daniel who married a Mary Eccles at St Mary's Parish Church, Cheadle, on 29th May 1836.
Regards,
Pat.
-
Hi Pat,
this is really interesting.
My Thomas Daniel married a Martha Eccles but I don't have a marriage place or date for them.
However in the 1851 census Thomas Daniel gave his place of birth as Cheadle.
At the date of John and Mary's marriage Thomas would have been about 30 and Martha about 24 so it is very possible that the four people were related in some way and possibly brother(s) and Sister(s). Do you know if there was any more information in the parish registers? I must go and have a look.
Many thanks for this as I only have record of them in the 1851 census in Poynton and can't find them elsewhere in census, birth, marriage or even burial registers. Only one of their children appears in a marriage register as far as I can gather and that's Elizabeth my 3 x great grandmother. Her siblings, Henry (born 1833/4), David (born 1847), and Lydia (born 1849/50) don't seem to be traceable at the moment either for a census after 1851, death or marriage.
This has given me some hope when I was fast losing it.
Thank you.
Regards
Jean Sandra
-
Hi Jean Sandra,
No, there was nothing more than that I'll print out the details you've sent and keep an eye out for them all when I'm next in the library. I don't get there as often as I would like, work keeps getting in the way but if I find anything I'll let you know.
I got a bit muddled with the St Mary's I should have said St Mary's Stockport, not St Mary's Cheadle, Sorry about that
Regards, Pat.

Hi again Pat,
many thanks I appreciate your help.

Hi,
would it be possible for someone to look up the baptism of a Martha Eccles born 1805-1815 in Poynton. She could have been baptised at St Peters Prestbury? I would love to know who her parents were.
If anyone could find her marriage to Alexander Hood at St Marks Dukinfield in 1877 I would be very grateful.

Hi Chris,
Can you find anything for me on the following. Peter Bennett found information on the 1841 and 1851 census, I Would like to find their marriage details, which would possibly lead to their parents and take me back another generation. I have attached the details of the 1851 census which gives the most details about them.
William Wooworth Born around 1806 and Jane Woodworth born around 1808
William Woodworth head 45 waterman captain born Runcorn
Jane wife 43 Liverpool
Louisa daug 20 unwed Liverpool
Fanny daug 16 Handbridge
Robert son 11 ~
William 7 ~
George 5 ~
James 2 ~
Ann Woodworth g/daug 1 daugter of Louisa born Chester
Thanks
George
-
George,
If you don't have any luck in Cheshire finding the marriage, do try Lancashire. As well as the wife giving her p.o.b. as Liverpool, many watermen from Cheshire married in the large Churches near the docks. e.g. St Peter's and St Nicholas.

Hi there
I'm afraid I don't have a lot to go on but I'm looking for the marriage of William Turner to Ellen ?????.
William was born in Staffordshire but Ellen was born in Wilmslow/Bollin Fee and this is where they lived all their married life and where the children were baptised so I'm hoping this is where they would have married as well.
I imagine they would have married sometime between 1805 and 1815.
Thanks
Lou

Hi Lou,
I've just found this on the IGI.
William Turner married Ellen Reddish at Prestbury,Cheshire, on 7th May 1805.
Could it be the one you're looking for.

Hi
Would it be possible to do a couple of marriages searches please?
first is a marriage of William PICKERING to Esther STOCKTON around 1768, not sure where exactly in Cheshire (sorry)
and the second marriage (again im not sure whether this would have taken place in Cheshire or Lancashire)
Marriage of John BRYAN to Ann ??? around 1824. Ann was born in Liverpool so i suppose its possible they could have married there instead?
John and Ann later lived in the village of NEss, Cheshire
Any help most appreciated
thanks Jen :)

Hi,
would it be possible for someone to do a marriage search for me?
I'm not sure if Cheshire is the correct place but somewhere about 1846 an Edward Holt married a Helen, hopefully in the Stockport area. Helen and daughters Sarah Ann and Alice were born in Stockport. Helen abt 1826, Sarah Ann 1846 and Alice 1848.
The family appear in the 1851 census in Haughs Attic Heaton Norris so it could be Lancashire I need to look.
If anyone could find a marriage for Edward and Helen or baptism for Sarah Ann or Alice I would be very grateful.

Hi Jen
There is a record indexed for William Pickering and Esther Stockton at St Mary's Gt Budworth Cheshire 12/8/1766.

Hi again,
would it be possible for a search to be made for a possible marriage about 1800-1811 of a Robert Eccles and his wife Betty.
Betty was born in Stockport according to the 1851 census and all I know of Robert Eccles is that he was born in Cheshire according to the 1841 census.
The couple could have married Stockport but were living in Poynton about 1811, where their youngest son John was born.
The marriage could have been Poynton or Prestbury which was the parish church or alternatively in Stockport where Betty was born.
Similarly I don't have baptisms for their children John (1811), Solomon (1819), Martha (1812 -1816), Merodoch (1823), Hezekiah (1827), Sarah 1827. They were all born in Poynton.
Robert Eccles was a schoolmaster in 1841.
Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated.
Regards
Jean Sandra

Hi Chris,
I wonder if you can help me trace a marriage in Chester possibly before 1775 as their daughter Sarah was christened that year at St. Oswalds Church. The marriage is between Anderson Davies and unfortunately I cannot find out who he married. A Will of Sarah's husband in 1804 just calls her E. Davies! The IGI only gives the name of Sarah's father.
Would be extremely grateful, as it is a total brick wall at the moment.
Thanks
Janice

Hi
Sorry but cannot find a marriage for Anderson Davies in Cheshire. I wonder if his wife was born out of the county and the marriage ceremony was in her home parish.
Did Sarah have any sisters ? their names may give a clue as to E's indentity.
good luck
peterbennett
-
Hi Chris,
Thank you for looking for Anderson Davies marriage. Sarah had one brother Robert Anderson Davies ch. 7.6.1778 also at St. Oswalds Church, but I cannot find any further record of him after his birth.
I have gleaned quite a lot of information from the Cheshire Wills site and managed to get Anderson Davies father (also Anderson Davies) Will. His father Thomas seems to have been an Alderman in Chester.
Yesterday I sent for a Will of Elizabeth Davies (not much E can stand for!) Widow in Chester, for 1803. I don't have a clue if it's her but is worth £3.50 to find out. Her daughter Sarah gave birth to a child John possibly that year, before she married the father John Culcheth a Solicitor in 1804 in Liverpool.
As you say, Anderson Davies marriage could have been out of the County in which case it's anyone's guess as to where that might be!
Thanks again for your time.

Hi Chris,
Im interested in John Swindells who was born in Poynton abt 1760 died 1850 @ Norbury stockport and lived in Brinnington all his life... wifes name unknown.......any marriages for John Swindells which would fit this timeline in the records?...........I also have a James Swindells b. 1789 whose wife was called Martha ? b. 1800 i think stockport any record of this marriage please.
Thank you ....regards Karlowe :)

hi jean sandra,
Just to let you know - there were no marriages at Poynton Church (St Georges) between 1747 and 1858 as the chapelry lost the right to conduct the service. Most marriages seems to have been at Prestbury, but several members of my family have the place of marriage shown as 'Manchester Cathedral' on the online databases. Just to confuse matters I have (so far) requested 1 certificate and the marriage was actually at ?? Parish Church. I really must try and post the image on here to see if anybody can read it, but whatever it says it wasn't the Cathedral!
Hope this helps

Hi Cara,
thank you for this I wasn't aware that Poynton church lost the right to conduct marriage services. I wonder why?
I have a feeling Robert and Betty may have married at St mary's Cheadle. Would that sound right for a couple living in Worth or Poynton, do you think?
Regards
Jean Sandra

Hi Chris,
I hope you can help me, I am a bit stuck on my Cheshire research ::)
I am looking for the marriage of John Warburton (born Tattenhall) and Ann Fletcher (born Bunbury/Bunlery - sorry really hard to read on census returns) they were having children in Tarvin/Bebington starting in 1826 so I am hoping they married either in Tattenhall, Tarvin/Bebington or Bunbury/Bunlery areas!
Sorry I can't give you more information but I am not too familiar with the Cheshire countryside ;)
Thanks so much
Jenny

Hi Jen
There is a marriage for them indexed at St Albans Tattenhall dated 26/2/1824, it states Ann is from Waverton (parish of Tattenhall)
You will have to apply to the Cheshire RO for a full transcript of the marriage, they do not usually charge if you give them all the above information. There is an email address in the link below.

That is interesting - the first two (four?) family members I came across who were married at 'Manchester Catherdral' were married in 1838. I have just looked at the actual certificate again and I can not make it out to read anything other than ***** parish church with no sign of any saints or Sts. I am going to post a scan of it tonight to see if anybody on here can read it. :)

Hi again Peter,
The info you gave me on my Warburton's has set me off on another lead and I wonder whether you could check your marriage registers for the following:
Peter Warburton and Mary Morgan married pre 1793 probably in Tattenhall
Peter Warburton and Maria Harding married pre 1817 probably in Tattenhall
Thanks so much, now I feel like I am finally getting somewhere ;D
Jenny

Hi
I have only found a marriage for Peter and Mary Morgan at St Albans Tattenhall 11/12/1792 by licence.
No other P.W. marriages at Tattenhall to anyone, or to a Maria Harding at any Cheshire church, there is a member submitted marriage for these two in the IGI it is dated for 6/June/1816 at St Johns Chester. It needs checking out at the records office,its possible it was missed of my index.

Hi
I am stumbling over a family of Whistons as there are no marriages on the IGI for me to tie up.
Robert and Ann Whiston (no marriage found possibly 1740 - 1743) had the following children:

Ann 1746
Mary 1747
Samuel 1748
Robert 1750
Jane 1751 - All were baptised at St. John's, Chester.
Would be very grateful if any marriages could be found, especially hoping they are in County!
Many thanks for any help.

Hi Peter,
Whiston Family
Story of my life! Everyone lives in Cheshire but doesn't marry there.
Would be grateful if you could look for any of Robert and Ann Whiston's children marriages. particularly William Whiston who we think may have married twice. But at this point any Whiston marriages would be received with grateful thanks.
Sorry to put you to extra looking, by the amount of requests you've had I hope you aren't regretting your offer!!!!!
Janice
-
Hi Janice
Sorry but I only have the indexes, no parents are named so making a positive connection is not possible.
The only Whiston marriages I can find are for late 1700's and in the wrong area of Cheshire.
It may be easier to trace backwards to your Whistons rather than starting way back and trying to advance "blind" so as to speak.
What 19th century info do you have for descendants of your William born 1744 ? Do you know for definite he was born in Cheshire ?
regards
peterbennett
-
Hi Peter,
Thank you for your comments. William Whiston was born 1744 and died in 1819, aged 75 in Coventry.
He married a Henrietta Rew in 1780 in Coventry but was 19 years her senior. They had no living children. In her Will of 1841 Henrietta bequeaths a gold watch to her late husband's grandson William Whiston Batt which prompted the question of a first marriage and also silver to her niece Sarah Davies.
We have established that Sarah Davies is the daughter of Anderson Davies of Chester due to Sarah's late husband John Culcheth's Will of 1811 where he mentions the late Anderson Davies and his wife E. Davies, (who I was hoping was a sister and a Whiston)
Although I never assume, I am trying to tie up the Davies family and the Whiston family but you have already told me that Anderson Davies didn't marry in the County, so I am well and truly stuck.
This is the background to the story and obviously the family dies out with the death of William Whiston, so I have no option but to go backwards from that point.
Thanks again Peter for your help.

Hello,Chris,I wonder please IF you could help me?
I have a John Hunt born in Macclesfield,about 1811.would you be able to find any HUNT's for me there please? 8)
I would be really grateful if you could.
TIA.Jeano

Hi
Have you looked in the IGI online, there is a record of a John Hunt baptised at St Michaels Macclesfield 1811 father Joseph Mother Jane.
I have a record of a marriage dated 1/ Feb /1801 at St Peters Prestbury for a Joseph Hunt hatband maker of Sutton and Jane Shrigley of Macclesfield. This is the only marriage of a John H. and Jane so looks very likely "right" for the above baptism.
Hope this is what you are looking for.

Hello,Peter.I HAD looked at the IGI etc,I was hoping someone MIGHT be researching this family-and we could have helped each other by exchanging facts.I am sure I have the information you sent me -for which I thank you.On a late census-Jane gives"Norfolk"-John gives Macclesfield-that is all I have pre their East End time. Not a lot to go on.
Thanks again,jeano

Hi Sheila
Are you sure it was Hannah that William Spencer married, do you have them in any census year at all ?
I have found a William Spencer marrying a Martha Dean in 18/ July/1819 at St Peters Prestbury. I seem to remember deans being one of yours ?
Also Francis Naden cotton dresser married Mary Ann Bay also at St Peters Prestbury 12/Feb/1832.
let know about William
peterbennett
-
Hi Peter,
That bit of the tree comes from the days when I did a lot of work at the library looking through the microfilm records one by one.
I must have found a Wm Spencer in the right area with a wife called Hannah and assumed it was the right one.
My daughter actually queried this with me as she found the Wm Spencer married to Martha with a daughter called Frances on the 1851 census. That daughter would have been a lot younger than my gt. gt. gran
I am wondering now if William married twice or if I had the wrong one altogether because Ann Spencer, gt. gt. grandmother married twice, firstly to David Hodkinson and secondly to James Jolley. The second marriage is witnessed by a woman who's first name was Frances.
thanks for your help.

Hi Chris
Thank you for your kind offer.
I have a John Lee marries Alice Duckers around 1785, Aldford if that is a place. Also a James Lee who marries an Eliza ??? and I appreciate if you can't find them they have there 1st child in 1830 so a look at 1829 would be great. I'm sorry that is all the info I have, if you can't find them please don't worry. Lee as a surname is quite tough to research especially as most boys are christened 'James'!!!

Hi,
Would someone kindly do a marriage lookup for the following -
John Nield/Neild, born about 1812 Chester - a tailor to Harriett Collier,born about 1814/16 Chester. They possibly married between 1830 - 1841.
Also,
Was Charles Boulton/Bolton,born 1803/04 Chester,a cabinet maker,previously married prior to his 1841 Liverpool marriage to Margaret Higham?
According to the 1851 census,there is an Elizabeth Boulton, 18 yrs. old,born Liverpool living in his household. Is she a daughter from a prior marriage or a relative?
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
would it be possible for someone to look up a possible marriage in Cheshire?
My ancestor Richard Challenor was a potseller, dealer, hawker who travelled widely mainly in Cheshire. Congleton, Furness Vale, Macclesfield, Hyde etc.
When he married in Stockport in 1852 he was a widower but I dont know who or where he married previously.
If anyone could look up a Richard Challenor from about 1839 I would be very grateful. I know its a long shot but have no census data for him in 1841. His travelling lifestyle has made him difficult to track down.
Regards
Jean Rule

Hi I'm looking for a marriage between William Summerfield and Mary (Don't know) . William was born 1815ish and Mary in 1814 ish . The earliest child i can find was born 1833.
Many thanks
-
Hi
Sorry but there is nothing showing up in Cheshire at all for them.
You don't say where they were born or where there first child was born, it may help in locating a marriage.

peterbennett

Sorry, William was born in Runcorn and his wife I think was Warrington but David Summerfield , their first son was born in 1833 in Liverpool although I can't find concrete evidence of him, (Because they keep moving across the Cheshire and Lancashire boarders I thought it was worth a lookup to illiminate it)
Many thanks

Hi Chris,
Thanks for your offer of marriage look-ups. I have the death of an Elizabeth Powel wife of Thomas Powel in 1767 which I am trying to link to my ggggGrandfather Thomas who married Alice Simpson the following year (6/9/1768) at West Kirby, I think they lived in Greasby. At West Kirby on 10/07/1746 there is a marriage of Thomas Powell but no brides name but you may have access to further info.
Thanks
Sue
-
Hi Sue
All the indexes I have found seem to say the brides name was not filled in, I think the original parish registers would also indicate the same.
Do any of their children have middle names that may indicate a mothers maiden name ?
peterbennett
-
Hi Peter,
I have no info on Thomas Jnr whatever, I can't find his birth in Cheshire and no definite siblings and I have found no middle name.
I have found a Thomas Powell born in Liverpool in 1733 which would be about right and his father was Samuel, EUREKA I thought, Thomas's first son was Samuel, then I found Thomas's wifes father was Samuel too, so no evidence really.
What is interesting is my cousin came across a piece of paper dated 1880 which reads "Thomas Powell my great-grandfather took this property from the common". Just makes me wonder if he had come from somewhere else and made a home for himself in the Wirral. Any ideas Peter?
Regards
Sue

I am searching for the marriage details of my great grandparents John and Ellen Price both born in Birkenhead. Ellen was born in 1840.

Hi Chris, this may be a long shot but ! I am looking for the marriage of John Grocott to Martha ?? not sure of the date, some time after 1850, could be in the Doddington, Walgherton areas, as I said a long shot ! many thanks
-
Hi
Sorry but the parish indexes I have only go to 1837 after that there was civil registration, if they married in Cheshire it should be indexed in the http://www.cheshirebmd.org.uk/.
I see from your other posts that Martha was from Flintshire, its likely she would have married in her own parish try http://www.northwalesbmd.org.uk/ Failing that I would recommend you check the GRO which is a full index of BMD in England and Wales https://www.1837online.com/Trace2web/index.html
hope this helps
peterbennett

Thank you Peter, I wonder could you help with a Grocott [various spellings] family from Wybunbury, Hunsterson area pre 1837. I now think that Martha, John`s wife, was from Walgherton which I think is in the same area. Many thanks.
-
Chris if your offer still stands, I am looking for a marriage of James Bilton to Hannah (?). Their eldest son was born 1795 and was baptized in Runcorn but I was unable to find their marriage in the All Saints, Runcorn registers. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Shirley
Sorry but I can't see any James Bilton marring at all anywhere in Cheshire, the indexes I have are fairly complete, so suspect they married out of the county. Or maybe they didn't ?

Hi
Sorry to disappoint but cannot find a John marrying a Martha at all, was she known by any other name, there are a few Marys, do you have a rough idea of a year ?
peterbennett
-
Sorry Peter my mistake it`s John Grocott`s marriage to Emma thats pre 1837. Their daughter Ann was born about 1836 so the marriage should pre date that. John was born about 1814 at Hatherton, not sure where that is ! once again sorry for the mistake.
-
Thanks anyway Peter. It is still good to know as I will now broaden my search to other counties. And sorry about getting your name wrong!

Do they go as far as 1822?
I am trying to verify an IGI entry - the marriage of George Peake and Mary Newton at Astbury, December 1822.

Dear Chris,
I was sent information about a possible marriage between William Gandy and Margaret (possibly Jones) 19 Feb 1832 in Lymm, Cheshire. Could you please confirm this?
William and a Margaret went on to have a family of six children, starting in 1834, so am hopeful that I have the right couple.

Hi Godfrey
The record is correct and indexed in the Bertram Merril index of marriages, George's surname is spelt without the "e" and he is a bricklayer, Mary is descibed as from the parish of Sw. Swithamley I think it will be, or maybe Swettenham.

Would your info add anything more than what I found on the IGI ?

Any Witnesses listed ?

Hi Steve
I cannot find this entry at all in the Cheadle or any other of the official parish registers indexes, it may be worth checking with the records office at Chester, you can do it by email at the address shown in the link at the bottom of my post, as you have the names place and date they will not usually charge.

Hi thanks for looking
Joseph and Marys first child was a Mary b 1835, there was also a Margaret born 1835.
I have them on the 1841 census but there is no Margaret possible twin that died.
On the census were
Joseph
Mary
Mary age 6
Hannah age 4
Eliza age 2
William age 1 month
Thay lived Paddock Lane Audlem
I know nothing about Ann Josephs sister ,it was when i had a search done at chester for Josephs baptism that they picked up on Ann there were possible more i do not know yet the baptisms were at st James Audlem.
Sue

Hi Sue
Still can't find a marriage for them, the 1851 census shows that Mary was born in Audlem so I cant understand why they were not married there, if indeed they did marry. A marriage could also have been at Wrenbury whose indexes I have up to 1837 but are a little patchy.
just in case you don't have it here is the 1851 census
HO107-2170-FOLIO 387 King Street Audlem
Joseph 45 ag lab Audlem
Mary 45
Hannah 14
Eliza 12
William 10
Sarah 8
Thomas 5
John 1
William Griffiths 21 visitor Audlem
the only thing I can suggest is that you obtain a copy of one of the childrens birth cert, this will show mums maiden name and maybe help to find the marriage.
good luck

Hi,
could you please look up a marriage between Edward Ellis and Lydia, i dont know her surname. The marriage will probably have taken place some time between 1830 and 1838 in the Macclesfield/Prestbury area.

Hello,
I am trying to find the marriage of William Dennett to Mary Helsby I think between 1820 and 1825. This would be in Ditton near Widnes and might well be in the parish of Prescot St. Mary. All a bit vague and this has been one of those "brick wall" situations.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Hi Peter,
this is a long shot, but could you possibly look up a marriage between a Solomon Beamer and an Isabella, i would say it took place sometime around 1795 - 1805. I cant give you any more info than that, but i can tell you that Solomon Beamer is a really rare name, ive only ever come accross 2 others, and they are both in this family.
Many Thanks
Marie
-
Hi
Sorry nothing in Cheshire for them.
I have been reading your other requests and note from the 1851 census that Soloman and family came to Cheshire with children, and all born out of the county,with his wife Isabella being born in Uttoxitor Staffordshire I would suggest that that would be where to look first. Failing that look in the area that their first child was born.
hope this helps

Hi Peter,
thanks for checking, i knew it was a long shot, im not that lucky. I just thought that Solomon's origonal place of origin might have been cheshire, ah well back to the drawing board.

This is a Stockport based family living in close proximity to St Mary's Parish Church in the Market place. I know first 2 children were christened there. Thanks very much for trying. berny

Hi Berny
I have had another look around the indexes and there is a marriage of a George Partington 5/November/1833 to a Mary Hatton by Licence at Stockport, looking through the various census years I can find only one family of Partingtons where the parents are George and Mary and the right ages. How certain are you that the mother was a Brown.
I would suggest you try to have a look at this marriage in the records at Stockport, there will be more names on the Licence other than George and Mary, hopefully you may find a connection.
hope this helps

I am looking for details of the baptism (in Altrincham) of Harriet Cooper, born about 1818. I hope to discover her father's name - her mother was Sarah Cooper. Sarah was born in Manchester in 1784 and my next challenge is to find her marriage and hence maiden name.
Second challenge is to find the baptism of John Berry also born about 1818 in Altrincham and husband of Harriet. I suspect his father was William Berry, a butcher but that needs proving. Any light that can be shed will be msst welcome.
Thanks

Hi Peter, I have a birth certificate showing Brown as mum's name. I think I've found the marriage too. I was looking on the IGI site and found names and dates that fit BUT it states Manchester, Lancs which is a bit vague. However there are many later marriages at St Thomas' church in Heaton Norris which in 1833 would have been in Lancashire. I'm quite hopeful that this may take me back a further generation.
Many thanks for taking the trouble to do some searching. Very much appreciated.

Peter, Thank you so much for checking on my Nathaniel Procter.
If my Procter's lived in Buglwaton would their parish church be Prestbury?
Would this also be the case if they lived in Congleton?
Are there a lot of Procter/Proctor/Procktor marriages in the Buglawton/Congleton area in the 1825-1837 period?
Could you recommend the best directory for us to get that would help our research?
We really feel we are getting close to discovering our Nathaniel Procter...he may have used Levi or another forename & the other possibility is that he moved from Wolstanton area c1830.
Thank you , Tony

Hi Tony
The correct parish church for Congleton/Buglawton area is St Mary at Asbury, there are a couple of links here that will show which townships are covered by the various parish churches.
For Astbury

The Cheshire FHS have produced a cd that covers the marriages of all the North and East Cheshire districts up to cival registration (1837) it is for sale at this link,you will have to use there search facility to find it. The title is North and East Cheshire Marriage index 1754-1837

Hi there
I would greatly appreciate a look from the Parish Records for the Marriage of Joseph Dodd ( Dood) of Bunbury Parish. He was a witness to the Marriage of Samuel Dodd ( Dod ) and Elizabeth Cookson on 19th Aug 1804 at St Boniface, Bunbury.
Joseph could have been the brother/father of Samuel.
Any help would be appreciated as I have come to a brickwall with this family.

Hi Chris,
What a great thing you are doing for us all.
I'm after what may be a longshot!
The couple I'm looking for are,
James Mullany (ey) c1806 and Johanna ? c1810.
They were born in Ireland, no idea where but all their children were born in Macclesfield Cheshire. The eldest one in c1825.
So I'm hoping they were married there.
If you could take a look for me I will be forever in your debt.
THANKYOU Sue.

Hi Mike
All Bosley marriages are indexed under the head church of Prestbury which covered a very large area around Macclesfield, so unless there is a statement in the register that the person was from Bosley it is not possible for me to sort them out. I will go through my indexes and see what can be found, but I am afraid that most of the Bosley folk will not be identified.
As for sorting out all the Samuel Shaw's marrying in Cheshire you may be best to purchace the Bertram Merrill index of Cheshire marriages.
You can obtain this from http://www.fhsc.org.uk/fhsc/cdrom.htm
I will get back to you in a day or two re the Bosley Shaws when I have gone through the indexes.

Peter, Thank you so much for the info on Prestbury/Astbury etc. & Cheshire CDs.

Peter
Many thanks for your time on the Shaws of Bosley and Samuel in particular.
I would like to pick your brain (and experience if I may). I have an Ann Shaw born in Rainow on 28 Jun 1795 whose parents are Samuel and Ann Shaw - I spotted this in the Rainow parish register. I am trying to trace the marriage of this Samuel and Ann.
Them marriage you have highlighted of;
Samuel husbandman/ Ann Pott of Rostherne 7/Dec/1789
could be the one. Could I check that the Rostherne may not be Rainow.
The distance between the marriage and the birth of Ann is also causing me a problem. I can't find any other births of Shaws with parents Samuel and Ann between 1789 and 1795 - I have looked in the Rainow records.
Any advice would be grately appreciated.
Many thanks again for your effort.

Peter, Thanks for looking for Charles Shaw's marriage.
I don't know his wife's name, he lived in Macclesfield & was a weaver.
His daughter was Mary Ann Shaw born c1834 & married 1853 @ Prestbury Parish Church to Levi Proctor. One of her witnesses was a William Shaw.
I hope this helps,
Thanks

Hi
There is a marriage that looks to be the closest to your dates, at Prestbury 29/Jan/1822 Charles Shaw Silk weaver of Macc and Mary Frost sp of Macc.
Do you have Mary Ann in the 1841 or 1851 census ?
peterbennett
-
Peter, That does seem to be the right Shaw's.
My cousin has now found them in the 1851 & 1861 census's & it all seems to fit & to make them our Shaws. Which is great as Shaw is a common name.
Thank you so much. We are still hunting for the elusive Nathaniel Procter but the Shaws are a link & so are the Plant family so we are progressing & you have been very helpful.
Regards, Tony Procter-Lambe

Hi
I am looking for a marriage between Thomas WARBURTON (b1813) and his wife Elizabeth. Their first child was born 1830 so I am guessing a marriage date in the late 1820s. Since Thomas came from Altrincham and Elizabeth from Mobberley I am guessing the likely location would be in the area of Altrincham.
Any info greatly appreciated.
Brian W
-
Hi Brian W,
I've had a look on the Bertram Merrell index and the only marriage I could find pre or close to 1830 is Thomas Warburton, Farmer to Elizabeth Ellams 25 Jul 1829 at Chester St Peter which doesn't look very likely. They'd be more likely to marry from the brides parish but this isn't always the case.
He would be very young if he married in 1829/1830, where have you found the information on the first child, and what was the name? I thought I'd found him on the 1851 and 1841 census as a cordwainer, have I got the right one, because the eldest child there looks to be Margaret born c1834.
There is a marriage on the IGI (familysearch) site for a Thomas Warburton to Elizabeth Blackshaw on 27 Jan 1833 at Manchester Cathedral. It caught my eye because I have Blackshaw's in my tree and one of the areas they are from is Mobberley.
Hope this helps and doesn't confuse things even more!
Jean

Hi Jean
Thank you! :) That is a big help, and actually better than I deserve, as in ruffling through my notes I somehow managed to conflate two of my sets of ancestors - the only excuse is that they were roughly contemporary and both lived in the Alty area.
I am reasonably sure that the Warburton/Blackshaw marriage is the one I was after, as the Elizabeth I was seeking came from Mobberley.
Apologies for giving false info - I shall try not to be so careless in future.

I'm looking for a marriage in the Macclesfield area c1810 between a Sarah ______ & _______ Berks.
What I have is an 1881 census record in Macc. for widow Sarah Barks age 87 born Macc.
Thanks, Tony Procter-Lambe

Hi Alison,
James Hopley m Ann DUCKIN 23 August 1831 at Malpas St Oswald.
Jean

Hi Brian,
Don't worry, easily done!! Do you already have the 1841 & 1851 census records? I'm only guessing with the Blackshaw marriage as I know that there were Blackshaws from Mobberley.
Jean
-
Hope you can help.
Information I have gleaned from a variety of sources
William Bancroft and Mary Moorcroft were married 30 Sep 1804, Farnworth, Nr. Prescot, Lancs. They had daughter Sarah, Warrington, 3 Jul 1810.
Sarah married William Turner, Whitesmith, b c 1811 (not in county as per 1841 census) William died prior to 1851 census. Oldest child, Thomas, born 1830.
Other possible children 1841, William, Richard, Mary Ann, Sarah, Caroline.
A marriage for Sarah and William might point me in the direction of William's roots.
Thank you.

Hi Beth,
Sarah Bancroft married William Turner 29 August 1830 at Grappenhall St Wilfrid.

Hi
I wonder if you could look up the marriage of John Quinn, Neston. Possibly to a Jane.
Thanks Judith

Please would it be possible for you to look up the marriage of my ancestor John Ratcliffe, possibly born Appleton, his wife may be called Sarah? Their children appear to be born late 1820's - 1830's. Any information would be gratefully received!

Hi Peter,
Would you please look up the marriages of:-
Nancy BUCKLEY (of Siddington) and ??? ??? WHITEHURST who would probably have married around 1817 in Prestbury.
Also:-
Hannah BUCKLEY (of Siddington) and Joseph DAVENPORT who would probably have married around 1832 in Prestbury
Many thanks
:D :D :D

Hi Mobo :)
Can only find one for a Ann Buckley and Egerton Whitehurst widower a blacksmith at St Mary Astbury dated 7/Sept/1820.
Nothing at all for Hannah and Joseph, sorry.
peterbennett

;D ;D ;D
Thanks Peter - that's great ;D ;D ;D

Hi,
I am trying to locate the marriage of John Wren to Dinah ?? c 1827 to 1829 - I know that Dinah came from Knutsford and John from Keswick. Their first child was baptized in Oct 1829 at Cathedral, Manchester, where they remained.
I cannot locate a marriage in Manchester or Cumberland, and thought Cheshire might be the place.
Many thanks in anticipation of some help!

Peter,
LONGSON FAMILY
My name is Jim & I am trying to trace my family I have I believe, managed to get back to around 1786 in Stockport.
I am trying to close the gap between James Longson born abt 1786 and James Longson who married Elizabeth Worthington on Mobberley (his 1st wife) in 1744 - They had a son James birth around 1753 again in Mobberley.
I know that the James 1786 married Hannah possibly in Ireland and I would like to know more - but the two James (senior & Junior) from Mobberly interest me if you can help with them or their ancestors.
Don't go to a lot of trouble but I would be grateful for any help or guidance
Kind regards.
Jim
-
Hi Jim
I think you would be advised to search the Mobberley parish registers they are available for births and marriages 1500's through to 1877. You will find them at the link below its for the IGI batch numbers.
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~hughwallis/IGIBatchNumbers/CountyCheshire.htm#PageTitle.
I would suggest you also search the Wilmslow batches as well, it was a favourite church for that area of Cheshire.
It looks to me that he may have a wife Martha prior to Elizabeth if the records of their childrens births have been transcribed correctly. Unfortunatly there is no indication in any of the marriage indexes of a Martha and James Longson, not in Cheshire, maybe elsewhere.
sorry cant be of more help

Hi Chris
Do you have anything for a William AULT marrying a 'Mary' about 1820 ....probably in Macclesfield

Any chance of finding the marriage of George Henry BROOKS born 1852 in Norwich and Ann RENSHAW, In 1876 they had John born Castleton and Sidney born 1878. They were living in Castleton in 1881 and Stockport in 1891.
Also the marriage of Frank DAVENPORT b 1890 Stockport who's parents were Mark DAVENPORT and Catherine Racheal BROOKS.
Any record of Ann BROOKS b 1844 Norwich marrying

Sorry just noticed your marriage index was pre 1837

Hi Jenny,
If you look at the local register office indexes at www.cheshirebmd.org.uk there are a couple of Frank Davenport's marrying in the Stockport area.
Hope this helps,

Hi Peter
Could you possibly find the marriage of
William LEA and Mary ? circa 1835
which would have taken place around the Davenport/Somerford/Church Hulme area
Many thanks
:D :D :D
-
Hi
Sorry, nothing showing up in the Cheshire indexes, was Mary born Cheshire or Staffordshire, its possible with being close to the border that they may have married in Staffs.
peterbennett

;D ;D ;D
Thanks Peter,
I only know those areas, as William was from there, however, according to the 1841 Census, she was also born in Cheshire, so I assumed she married there.
Never mind, thanks anyway
;D ;D ;D

Hi,
just wondering if you could look a marriage up for me, not sure of the year but it will be before 1815:
David Allen Lee and Esther.
I am also interested in any marriages of people with the middle/ last name combination of Allen Lee, it was a family tradition. The main area was around Staleybridge, Stayley etc.
Thanks.

Hi - I am looking for a marriage between my Antwis ancestors in Cheshire. His name was Peter Antwis and her name was Betty. I suspect it was the frodsham area as all 8 children were born in frodsham - the eldest born in 1798 So I am guessing it would be before then Peter Antwis was born abt 1766 and Betty was born abt 1773
I would really apprceiate any help you can give me
Gaylene
-
Hi Gaylene,
I've checked my marriage index and can't see a marriage for Peter. I also have the Frodsham PR up to 1812 and can confirm that they weren't married at Frodsham St Lawrence. The children of Peter & Betty look to be the only Antwis(s) family baptised there.
Sorry I can't be of more help,
Jean
-
Hi Kath,
Have checked my marriage index for David LEE and David ALLEN LEE but there is no marriage listed. I've also checked for a marriage between a LEE and an ALLEN to see if that would explain the use of the middle name (although in one of my lines Allen with this spelling is commonly used as a first name).
Sorry I can't be of more help,
Jean
-
Thanks Any - It rules one option out at the very least

Please could you check two POWELL marriages:
Thomas b.1770 Greasby (I have probability of Sarah Gill at St Bridgets, West Kirby in July 1790) but wondered if there was another possibility.
Also Joseph b.1776 Greasby (again I have Isabella Davies in 1814, Meols) any extra information to confirm these would be wonderful.
Thanks
-
Hi Sue,
Nothing close on my index, however the West Kirby parish register is online at: http://www.csc.liv.ac.uk/~cprdb/ - I searched on Powel but couldn't see the marriage to Sarah Gill.
Sorry I can't be of more help,
Jean

Thanks for your wonderful offer. Is there any sign of John Parker, (1775-1842), of Cheadle Cheshire? His son married into the Small family and I'm also looking for William Small (1811-1881) also Cheadle.
Also I would appreciate any details of Fidler or Lowe families. All Cheadle , Cheadle Hulme, Cheadle Mosely pre 1837.
Look forward to hearing some convenient time,
Cheers
Sandra ;D

Thanks Jean, I have already used the cprdb extensively, I oould not have done without it

Hi Chris
I am trying to find a marriage of a William WOOD from Brereton - died 1849, buried in the churchyard anyway. He had sons Thomas, John and Joseph. Joseph bn 1804 survived John died young but produced a daughter Jane, and 2 sons named Thomas's died young. I think he married a Mary, unfortunately my files have gone to my daughter who is producing a family tree for Peter WOOD - 60 next the only WOOD left as they have all had daughters.
The children were born in the 1790's.
There is nothing that fits on the IGI online
Noreen Rose

Sandra,
No obvious PARKER or SMALL marriages in the right timescale.
There are 30 FIDLER marriages at Cheadle St Mary on the index - can you be more specific about what you need?
There are a number of LOWE marriages but I suspect this one may be of interest if you don't already have it:
James LOWE m Molly FIDLER 29 Mar 1802 at Cheadle St Mary
Jean
-
thanks for that. It was really John Parker and William Small I was hoping to find as my research stops with them at present.
I have not yet followed the Fidler/Lowe lot yet, so I do not have the parents of either of the following ladies.
Although these are possible dates for these marriages, I do not have any other details.
Betty (Elizabeth) Fidler (1813-1883) married John Bailey (1803-1887) on 24th Sept 1827 at St Mary's Cheadle, ? her age is 14. I have no knowledge of her parents and was looking for some clues.
Ann Lowe(1816-1888) married John Hooley (C1810-1890) on 15th October 1838 at St Mary's Cheadle. She may have been born in Staffordshire.
As always, your time and effort is really appreciated.
Sandra :)
-
Hi Sandra,
Neither of the marriages you mention are on the index - but it is only an index so its very unlikely you would get further information from it. The 1838 marriage is on the cheshirebmd index.
You could contact cheshire records office and ask for the details from the parish register - if Betty/Elizabeth was only 14 she must have been married by licence so the licence may give you more information - the register entry from 1827 wouldn't necessarily give you the parents names anyway.

HI Chris
I am looking for details on Samuel Parsonage & Mary ????? They had a Daughter daughter Martha Parsonage b abt 1799 Tarvin.
Also details on Ambrose Nield b 1785 Christleton & Martha Parsonage b 1799 Tarvin. The eldest Child I have for them is 1821.
Any Info on a John Nield I do not have a name for his wife. I have four children for him
Elizabeth b abt 1772
Jane b abt 1776
John b abt 1781
Ambrose b abt 1785
They were all born in Christleton
Thanking You in Advance.

Hello Noreen,
Looking at your 1841 lookup request and Carrie's answer, do you think that William WOOD's wife was therefore Jane? I'm afraid I still can't find anything obvious on the indexes and have also checked for a Joseph and Elizabeth but again nothing stands out.
Did William's wife die before him, or is there any mention in the will?
Jean
-
Hello Pughy,
Have checked for Joseph Nield marriages, none exactly right for the dates but:
married Martha Edge 19 Oct 1749 by banns, Tarvin St Andrew
married Margarett Dutton 8 Apr 1751 by banns, Tarvin St Andrew
married Elizabeth Price 18 Apr 1763 at Chester St Bridget
married Christian Perry 25 Apr 1794 at Tarvin St Andrew
Nothing on the index for Ambrose.
Nothing for a Samuel Parsonage within the right timescales.
Jean
-
I know that it could be Jane as that has now come up in the 1841 census. We have William's Will which mentions his son Joseph and grandaughter Jane daughter of his deceased son John that is all. He is a widower!
I have requested a Will of John WOOD Brereton died in 1824. He is on the grave inscription at Brereton. There is an Admon for Mary WOOD wife of William, so I have requested a copy of that too.
Thank you for helping me! I am very grateful.

My GGgrandfather is reputed to have been married in Ince, most likely at St James P.C in 1778. Their children were baptised there.
Thomas Clough to Anna ??
Both recordered as living at Church house Ince, I learn that there were four house together each called Church House.
Thanks
IanOZ
-
Hi Ian,
There is no Thomas Clough on my index married in that timescale. If you are pretty sure of the year and that the marriage was at Ince you could email Cheshire Records Office and ask if they could check the parish record film for you: recordoffice@cheshire.gov.uk
Do you know that Anna was from Ince, most marriages took place in the bride's parish.
Jean
-
Jean
Now there's a thought!
Spent months worrying this one as my advice was Thomas (certainly Ince) married Anna ?? of Church House but maybe it was Thomas at Church House. That is confirmed by 1841 & 1851 census.
I guess I now wait for a miracle to get Anna's surname. I'll just sit and wait for it!
Thanks for your help
IanOZ
-
Ian,
Is Anna on the 1851 or had she died before then? If she was you should be able to get her place of birth but of course her family could have moved. Were all the children born Ince, if not that might give you a clue if Anna wasn't from Ince.
Might still be worth an email to the records office.....
Jean
-
Jean
Sorry the date of 1778 for the marriage was incorrect. I have found the original email I got giving me Clough details and the date 1778 got mixed up in transit and had m. Anna next to it!
It appears that 1778 was Thomas's birth year.
Checking 1841 shown as Ann as born in county and 55
1851 shown as Anne has her born in Ince and 68 ! Maybe she wasn't too hot at arithmetic!
However children's ages from the two census confirm who she is.
The oldest child William was baptised Jan 16th 1820 so I guess now that Thomas and Anna/Hannah were married 1818/19
I would appreciate it if you could try the revised timeframe.
I have held off the records office as when I previously had a look I saw a search would cost 20 pounds minimum.
Thanks

Hi Ian,
Nothing in the revised timescale on my index either I'm afraid. CRO charge by the hour for research, but it may be worth emailing them - if you have the correct year, and it sounds as if the marriage was at Ince they may do a look up for you. The cost of a photocopy is small if you wanted one.
Jean

Thanks again. It seems the marriage date is critical, mind you did they marry!
I'll get it sorted yet.

Hi,
I'd appreciate help in looking for a marriage between Thomas Hodkinson and Sarah (unknown), which according to the IGI took place in 1817 in Christleton, Cheshire. Christleton is near Chester, I think.
The Cheshire office has checked the Parish Registers for Christleton but not found anything ??? . Any help would be very welcome!
Thanks,
Hettie
-
Hi Hettie
There are entries for this marriage in any of the Cheshire indexes, looking at the IGI entry it looks very suspect to me, IE member submitted and no dates etc.
Do you have any more info on Thomas and Sarah, such as census and death records.
peterbennett
-
Hi Peter, thanks for your reply :)
I agree with you about the IGI entries... it's very frustrating because this whole family is proving difficult!
I don't have census entries yet for Thomas and Sarah, but according to the IGI they were the parents of Richard Hodkinson who was christened 1823 in Christleton, and also Sarah Hodkinson who was christened 1818, also in Christleton. The Cheshire Records office have found a record for Sarah which is on order.
Richard Hodkinson is on the 1841 census with his other siblings (not with Sarah or parents unfortunately). They are in Hyde, Cheshire (HO107/111/9 f21 p36) and myself and my cousin have traced them as best we can through the censuses. In 1851, Richard is still in Hyde and married to Mary, and gives his birthplace as Christleton.
Thanks for reading, and for trying....
:)

Hi Peter - You helped me out about a year ago, and I'm still plodding on, and you may see the posts on the general board. We have a Peter Potts marrying Hannah ? probably around
1836, Sarah ? marrying ? Howard around 1790, and John Howard marrying Ann ? around 1825-30.
My Peter Potts family just doesn't seem to be there in 1841, but then my Harry Pownall born after the census of 1871 is in no census at all, might turn up in 1911. Parents died when he was about 5, and he lived with his sister(s,) so I'm in the process of trying to find their marriages. He joined the Indian Army using his real name age 21, so his marriage to Emily Howard from Macclesfield is not recorded, nor are they in the 1901 census, both were in India. It will be a good story once I get there. Thanks for anything you might find. Cheers Fred
-
Hi Fred
I have the following marriage records
Peter Potts collier Hurdsfield / Hannah Lucas sp Hurdsfield 22-June 1836 St Peters Prestbury.
John Howard bricksetter / Ann Howard sp both of Macclesfield 17-August-1829
There is also this marriage record dated 1-April-1816 at St Peters Prestbury, John Howard bricksetter / Miriam Hordern sp both of Macclesfield, makes me think he may have been married twice.
Cannot seem to find a marriage for the Sarah Howard who was living with with John in 1841, it may be that she is a mother in law IE Ann's mother.
Hope this is some help

Hello from Canada.
Do you have a entry for the marriage of Thomas Fforster = Ellen Percivall in grappenhall 27/12/1752. It is not on the IGI so I cannot order an extraction from the LDS.
Thanks ahead. Jim
-
Peter your info Peter Potts married Hannah Lucas, when you helped me last year you found my Abraham Pownall married Dorothy Lucas, i wonder if it's the same family? If I didn't post an apology just now (might have lost it) then sorry I didn't reply to your last post. cheers Fred

I'm trying to find a marriage for a Maria Clowes/Clewes.
Maria [nee Bedford] married Thomas Clowes at the Cathedral Manchester in 1811.
Thomas died 1816 in Stockport, Cheshire, he was 29 years of age.
Did Maria remarry? if she did I think it would have been in the Stockport area from 1817 onwards.
Thanks in advance,
Pat.

Hi Pat,
Maria CLEWES, widow, married Thomas BOWDEN widower, weaver 19 Feb 1821 at Stockport - one of my indexes has 19th, other has 18th Feb for this marriage.

Hi Jim,
I can't see this marriage on any of my marriage indexes, but if I did it probably wouldn't have much more information than you already have.

Hi Peter, am not really sure, I know that their daughter Ellen was baptised at Macclesfield St Michael's in 1814 but I have another ancestor on a completely different line who also just happened to be baptised there just about a year before and her parents were married at Prestbury so maybe there.

Hi, please would it be possible for anyone to give me the details of a John Simpson Ann Snelson marriage in Lower Peover in 1794. Also, please would it be possible for anyone to see if there is a marriage of a John and Mary Simpson in the same kind of area, 1773 or before.
Thanks
Anna

Hi Anna
There is a marriage indexed at St Oswalds Lower Peover dated 13/Dec/1794 for John Simpson and Ann Snelson.
This marriage was by licence so you will be able to purchase a copy from the Cheshire Records Office, there is a link below.
The request for John and Mary Simpson, does this mean a marriage to each other, or is it two seperate marriages ?

Hi Peter, Thanks very much for that, yes the john and mary simpson marriage is a marriage to each other, I just don't know Mary's maiden name as yet.

This is a long shot, is there a marriage for Edward Darlington and Ann? Edward, according to the 1851 census, was born c1788 in Wales. I don't know where Ann was born but according to the 1841 census it wasn't in Cheshire and she died in 1850. Their daughter Mary was born 1812/13 in Stockport. I think Mary was the first born child so did they marry in Cheshire?
Many thanks,

Hello Chris,
I would be very grateful for a lookup for a marriage between William Dale and Sarah. They were both born in Sandbach about 1780. The first child, I think, was born in Smallwood about 1808. I am guessing that the marriage was about 1800 ish in either place.

There is a marriage dated 31/December/1805 at Astbury between William Dale husbandman of the parish of Lawton and Sarah Lees of this parish.

I am looking for a marriage of Hannah Proctor/Procter probably @ St. Peters, Congleton but certainly in the Macclesfield area. It would be after 18th August 1833 as her illegitimate son, Levi, was baptised on that date @ St. Peters.
Thanks,

Hi Ian
Think we may have been down this path before.

Edward Berry married in 1764 (approx) in Gt Budworth according to IGI (but might be Over Peover). His wife is shown in the IGI record as Mrs Edward Berry - very helpful. Could someone check to see if her given name appears anywhere?
Many thanks

Hello,
if this offer of a lookup in the parish records is still valid please can Chris or another list member with access please look for the following marriage:
John ROGERS = Catherine EVANS
6th July 1812, Great Budworth, Cheshire.
Any other info from this entry would be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards Val.
-
Hi Val
The indexes of Cheshire marriages shows only the names and dates.
It is unlikely that the original registers show any more than what you know, for a few pence you can obtain a copy of the original entry from the Cheshire RO, just write or email them the details to the address in this link.
http://www.cheshire.gov.uk/Recordoffice/aboutus/recoffcontact.htm
good luck
peterbennett

Thanks Peter,
I will get an email off to them today. Even if it's just the names of the 2 witnesses or the fact that one was a widow/er can make a difference and may help.
I've had a bit of success with the old records when visiting Liverpool RO so I'm hoping the information given is the same from the Cheshire area.
Thanks for the link and taking the time to reply.
regards Val.
-
Hi Val I also have ancestors from round there (Peovers) and have heard recently that people had to get marriage licenses round there and unusually for back then it could mean that they could include parents full names, father's occupation etc. I am currently trying to look into this with mine with the help of a researcher.
Good Luck with yours
Anna
-
Hi Anna,
that sounds very promising. My John Rogers was a poor pansmith in the salt industry so I bet it was expensive for him to get the money for a licence, if that turns out to be the case. The extra information would be superb though as I'm stuck at John & Kitty, my 3x gt-grandparents.
Good luck with your research also.
Regards Val

Hi Chris,
Sincerely hope you can help - I am seeking marriages for the name CURZON (Curson, Courson, Courzon) in Cheshire. Most likely in the St Chads Over area, or possibly Wharton.
In particular I am looking for a marriage of Owen (or Awen) Curzon to a Nancy or Ann pre 1820 - their first child was baptised in St Chads over in May 1820.
Many many thanks - here's hoping!!

I'd be most grateful if you could find these 2 marriages for me:

James Johnson and Mary Ann - first known child born Hazel Grove c1835.
(IGI has James Johnson m. Mary Ann Bridge at Cheadle, 1831, which is a possibility - would like to know if there are any others!)
Many thanks!

Hi MR
Joel Pownall and Elizabeth Johnson at Cheadle dated 19/Jan/1828.
The only Mary Ann marring a James Johnson is the one you already have, there are a few JJ to Mary's but none in the right time frame.

Hi
There is a marriage indexed at Audlem St James dated 2/Jan/1780 William Turner and Mary Trickett
The index definatly spells the name that way, there are quite a lot of Trickett marriages in the Audlem/Wybunbury area.

Thank you Peter, I will have to check the records at Chester. Unfortunately I have to wait until the 18th November because working full time I can only go on a Saturday.
Would the entry that you have tell me if they had witnesses at the wedding or where the groom came from?
-
Hi
Sorry but I only have indexes to the marriages, as you say the orginal registers at Chester will have the full entry.
If you can't get to the RO then I would recommend you email them at the address in this link http://www.cheshire.gov.uk/Recordoffice/aboutus/recoffcontact.tm
(stating the marriage details you have) and they will look up the marriage and confirm the full entry back by email, there should be no charge for this, but if you require a photocopy of the original then a small fee will be charged.
There is also the will search facility that I have found to be a big help with pieceing families together. It can done and wills purchaced online.
http://www.cheshire.gov.uk/recordoffice/wills/Search.htm
good luck

Hi Peter, thank you for that information, I will indeed chase up this lead.

Hi,
I would appreciate a lookup of a marriage for Samuel Cadman. The only thing I know about him is that he is the father of Mary Cadman born c1829 in Stockport (from Mary's marriage cert).
On the IGI, there is a christening entry for a Mary, giving her mothers name as Sarah. Also there is a marriage entry in Alderley on the 29th May 1828 for Samuel Cadman to Sarah Cooper. I have also found a Sarah Cadman aged 21 on the burial index for Stockport date 1 Jan 1832, so if this is the right Samuel, he would most likely have remarried at some point.
Basically any marriage details for a Samuel Cadman would be really appreciated for around these dates. Thanks in advance.

Hi
The only one I can find for George and Frances is indexed in the http://www.cheshirebmd.org.uk/ at Cheadle St Mary 1840, to obtain more info you will proberbly have to obtain the certificate or veiw the registers at Stockport Library or Cheshire Record office.
Do you have any more information on the two father's, when did they marry, what were their occupations, wifes christian names, where did they live.

Hi,
I've now realised I had more information than I thought on George and Frances. They were married by banns on 4/5/1840, George was 21, Frances 22, both of Edgeley. Father Thomas Hadfield was a joiner, Thomas Heginbotham was a labourer. I'm afraid that's all I know about the fathers. Might be difficult from here. Many thanks anyway.

Hi
Lots of Thomas Hadfield marriages around the right time and area, so had a search of the 1841 census and found this likely looking family in Mottram.
HO107-100-8-Folio 5 Page 4 Lane End Mottram-in-Langendale
Thomas Hadfield 45/50 joiner born in county
Mary Hadfield 45/50 not born in county
Margaret 15/20 in county
William 13
Maria 9
Martha 5
There is a marriage indexed at Mottram dated 11/Nov/1816 Thomas and Mary Barrowclough.
In the IGI http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/ there is a submitted birth dated 4/Oct/1818 Mottram for a George Hadfield father Thomas mother Mary.
In fact looking closly at the IGI it looks very much as if someone as already researched the Hadfields of Mottram, might be worth you having a good root through them.
hope this helps

Hi me again
Looking for details of Frances I found again in the IGI a baptism dated 4/Oct/1818 at Chadkirk Church Romily showing father as Thomas and mother as Kitty.

Hi Dorey,
Pallot's is an index covering approximately 1.5 million marriages mainly in the London and Middlesex area 1780 - 1837. It contains limited coverage of other parishes around the country.
The Bertram Merrell index was compiled by Bertram Merrell and contains marriages from various parishes at various dates, but does not have complete coverage - the coverage is for Cheshire only. The CD available from the Cheshire family history society also contains the Hartley Jones Marriage Index for the Wirral Peninsula, and the Mid-Cheshire Marriage Index.
There is also a North & East Cheshire Marriage Index compiled by volunteers and mainly covering the dates 1754 - 1837. The coverage between these dates is complete for some parishes. This is also available to purchase from the Cheshire Family History Society.
Other counties may also have indexes that cover some parishes, you will often find reference to them in the county resources boards here in rootschat.
Hope this helps,
Jean

Hi Allan, have you seen the Cheshire Parish Register project site - http://www.csc.liv.ac.uk/~cprdb/? The Backford parish register is one of the transcriptions available, there are the following baptisms:
Elizabeth dau of Ralph & Mary Oakes 12 Mar 1776
Peter son of Ralph & Mary Oakes 17 Oct 1779
Elizabeth dau of William & Margaret Oakes 15 Oct 1780
Daniel son of Ralph & Mary Oakes 25 Jan 1782
etc - 32 baptisms in all between 1776 and 1830.
Also burial of Ralph Oakes of Backford, Farmer, 13 Feb 1800 - there are 15 OAKES burials at Backford between 1790 and 1854.
Hope this is of some help,
Jean
-
Hi Jean
Thank you for that information. Would these also be available at the Chester Records Office?
Also, when I visit other counties I presume that the apart from the Parish Registers there are different indexes for marriage in different parishes and basically the Records offices of that county should have them, is this correct?
Best wishes
Dorey
-
Hi Dorey,
I'm not sure, you would have to check with CRO to make sure - they work closely with Cheshire FHS so I would imagine so.
Most record offices will have this type of index if there is one, but many parishes aren't indexed and then you have to search through the records. It's worth checking the FHS sites or www.genfair.com to see what is available.

Hi,
Just moved this from general board as Celia kindly pointed out I'd get a quicker response on the specialised board.
My ggg grandfather Thomas Edwards bap 1827 in Burwardsley St John (born Peckforton). Parents John and Mary Edwards. My problem is that marriage records for Burwardsley have not yet been deposited at the R.O. Could someone please check the marriage indexes for Cheshire to see if there is a marriage about this time and any details. Many thanks.
Fairlane
-
Hi Fairline
Although Burwardsley St John was licenced for baptisms and burials it did not aquire a licence for marriages until 1841, being a chaplet of St Boniface at Bunbury all marriages within the parish would have been conducted there.
The index does not show up any likely marriages around the right timeframe, do you know John and Mary's ages, or where Mary was born, what did John do for a living ?
regards
peterbennett
-
Hi Peter
Thanks for your reply. I have no other info on John and Mary but as I have traced Thomas back on censuses as born /Peckforton Bunbury it was an inspired guess to try Burwardsley as I had already tried Bunbury, Marbury, Malpas, Tattenhall Parish registers to no avail. Therefore I feel sure this is our Thomas. Thomas was a labourer so I feel his father would have been of similar employment. I also found a brother John (bpt 1829 Burwardsley) who was was a M.S. in Peckforton in 1841 (age 12). Probable - mother Mary (b.c. 1801) as widow on poor relief in Peckforton on 1841 census HO107/96 Bunbury En.Dis.9 page 7 with daughters Mary and Elizabeth. One of the witnesses at Thomas's wedding was Mary Edwards but neither she nor Elizabeth were baptised at Burwardsley. I have checked Bunbury, Marbury and Tattenhall for marriage of John & Mary to no avail.
My next step is probably to widen the circle?
regards, Fairlane
-
Hi Fairline
Looking at the Cheshire indexes they show 10 John Edwards marrying between 1815 and 1829 most at one or other of the Chester City churches, but non to a Mary.
There was one to a Maria Tavo 23.11.1826 at Chester St John, Mary and Maria are sometimes used together. This J.E. was a cabinetmaker so maybe a little doubtful.
I would suggest you maybe have a look at Whitchurch Shropshire records, a lot of Cheshire folk married there ( just over the border )
sorry cannot give you anything more definite
peterbennett
-
Hi Peter
Your help is much appreciated as it saved me trawling through more hours of PR's for Cheshire. I'll take your advice and look over the border - with the name of Edwards just over the border into Wales may be another possibility.

Thanks for looking Peter. I tried to use the web site you mention yesterday but the database page just kept posting the message "error on the page" so I gave up.

Hi Pat
Just had a look at your other posts and saw that Jason had found a baptism as early as 26/June/1813 for a John Roberts, father John blacksmith, mother Margaret, if this is the couple your trying to find a marriage for it looks as if this could be the one dated 10/Jan/1813 at Holy Trinity Liverpool to a Margaret Smith. Found on the IGI at http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/
hope this helps a bit

Hello Chris, :)
If your not run off you're feet doing look-ups. ::) Could I impose on you to do a look-up for me please? ;D
My 3rd great-grandparents Charles Bowen & Martha Dickens.
I can only assume that they were married in the 1840's early 1850's But it could have been earlier ??? I don't know if they had other children... I am solely going on the information from my 2nd great-grandmother's marriage certificate.....She was Adelaide Bowen, born around 1853 in St Helens.
The only other bits of info I have was that Charles Bowen was a Master Builder..and Martha Dickens was from St Johns, New Brunswick, Canada....And might have been a Milliner.
Sorry that I can't offer you anymore information :-[
I would be very grateful if you can help find Charles & Martha.
Many Thanks!!
Corsharn ;D
-
Hi Corsharn
Sorry but there is nothing in the Cheshire indexes for them.
St Helens is in Lancashire so might be worthwhile you trying there with a request.
If the marriage was after 1837 you can search freely the Ancestry BMD at http://www.ancestry.co.uk/search/rectype/vital/freebmd/bmd.aspx
Use the full BMD indexes. These cover the whole of England and Wales
good luck

I am searching for a marriage between Sarah (surname unknown) and Mr Cooper (forename unknown) that took place probably in Knutsford. Sarah was born in 1789, so it probably happened between 1810 and 1820. Sorry about the vagueness of the request, but I have Sarah's 1851 census record in which she is widowed.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks so much for these options. Will have to whittle them down, but there are quite a few of them that look highly promising.
Nick

I should have said that knowing the names amd ages of one or two of the children, then hopefully an IGI search might throw up the right marriage. Thanks once again.
-
Thanks for that Peter, :)
I have searched in Lancashire, but couldn't find them...Very Disappointing :(
I'll just keep plodding along, Charles & Martha must be out there somewhere. ::)
Thank you for your help. ;D
Cheers,

Hi Peter, Thanks very much for that, I think Astbury or thereabouts.
Thanks again
Anna
Hi Anna
Nothing showing up at anywhere in Cheshire. You dont say when and where they were born ? do you have them on any census at all ?
peterbennett

Hi Peter, Charles and Lucy had a daughter Martha in 1752 in Astbury who I think is my direct ancestor, they may also have had kids before that (1740's).
Thanks
Anna
-
Hi, please can anybody lookup the marriage of a William Hackney and Ann for me, they definitley had a kid born in 1829 in Astbury area I think.
Would be very grateful for any help anybody is able to give me.
Thanks
Anna

Hi
The only one that looks as though it may fit is dated 15/May/1826 at Prestbury to a Ann Barber of Marton (nr Congleton/ William Hackney bat of Macclesfield.

Hi, I'm new to this forum and have just spotted you very kind offer of Cheshire Look-ups. Can I be cheeky please and ask you to check something for me.
My maternal ancestors were from the HARDY's of Thurstaston and Heswall, Cheshire and I've managed to trace them back to Daniel HARDY b. 1770 Heswall married to Mary DAVIES b. 1770 Heswall in 1790 @ Heswall Parish Church St Peters.
I have Mary Davies' parents but can't go any further back with Daniel HARDY who was my g.g.g.g.grandfather.
Also, am trying to find the wedding date of
Hugh WILLIAMS b. 1722 Heswall and Mary (surname unknown) b. 1726 Heswall.. They were my 6x g.grandparents.
I have their names (obviously, as above) and their children's names, but no surname for Mary, no Wedding Details and no parents for either of them.
I would be grateful for any help.

Hi
Welcome to Rootschat :)
Most of the Wirral parishes have been transcribed and can be found online at http://www.csc.liv.ac.uk/~cprdb/ it isn't the easiest site to use but well worth persevering, if you have any trouble please get back to us and we will try to help.
I did find the following.
1/August/1768 baptism at West Kirby Daniel Hardy father William mother Mary, said to be living in the township of Little Meols
22/August/1767 Marriage at West Kirby William Hardy/Mary Jones witnesses, Joseph Jones and John Brown, again living at Little Meols.
The marriage of Hugh Williams and Mary Longley was dated 8/Sept/1747 at St Nicholas Liverpool.
Liverpool was a favourite venue for Wirral folk.
This record was found in the IGI at http://www.rootschat.com/links/0bq/
hope this helps

Hello PeterBennett, how kind of you. I very much appreciate you looking that information up for me.
I have added those websites to my favs and will look at them later.
Kindest regards to you ;D

Do you have the marriage records for the area of Marple Cheshire? As I am looking for the surname Graham?
Cheers
Anne
Canada
-
Hi
Anyone in particular, most of the Marple marriages are indexed under the Stockport parish of St Mary, and there are lots of Grahams, but the index does not seperate where the couples came from.
peterbennett
-
Hi Peter:
thanks for the reply... I have just started working on my Graham line, but what I have found so far, they were all born in Yorkshire and then moved to marple, so I think that most of them married in Yks. but one that may have married there is a William Graham born 1810 whose wife is named Eliza born 1816 in Marple. Have found them onthe 1851 census.
thank you for telling me where to look for marriages. The next generation of children were born in Marple so now know where to look for marriages.
Cheers
Anne

Hi Anne
Sorry no sign of a marriage in Cheshire

Do you think the marriage to Elizabeth was a second marriage for either of them ? There is one at Manchester Cathedral
ELIZABETH BROOKES OR WALLWORK (Possibly a widow)

Hi Dave
Sorry nothing showing up in the marriage indexes, and I don't have acsess to the birth registers.
How sure are you of the birth date ? is it accurate. If so you may be able to get a birth search done at the Cheshire RO ( a couple of years either side is not usually charged for) there is a email contact address below.
The only Burslem marriage I can find at Astbury around that date is dated 02/May/1705 William Burslem and Jane Phythian.
good luck
peterbennett

Hi, Peter
Many thanks for the lookup
The birthdate is the middle one of four I have for a Jane, I will try Cheshire.
I now know the surname of Jane, William's wife
Once again, many thanks,

This is a long shot but can you possibly find the marriage of Thomas Lawrinson (various spellings, sorry) born around 1796 Tarporley and Rebecca (surname unknown, sorry) born about 1791 possibly Tarporley.
Marriage year unknown, sorry .... unhelpful wild guess ... 1820 ish? They have a child in 1825 but there may be others before that date.
Sorry about the lack of information ... you can tell me to go away and come back when I have more facts if you want to - I will understand.
Thanks anyway.

Hi Ruskie,
Sorry, no likely marriage showing in that time period on my indexes.
Don't go away, you had enough information for a try! :)
Jean
-
Aw, thanks Jean. And thanks for looking. This family is sending me mad.
Added later:
I think I have located earlier children for this couple. Jean, do you mind me asking the dates you looked for this marriage? I think perhaps the marriage may have been earlier than 1820ish - maybe 1816 ish? Can I be a pest and ask if you could have another quick look? Thank you so much.

Hi, please would it be possible for anyone to lookup the marriage of a William Snelson and Elizabeth in Peover area for me I think 1730's to 1760's.
Thanks
Anna
-
Hi
There are two marriages indexed in Cheshire for that time frame for a William Snelson and an Elizabeth.
Elizabeth Walley Davenham St Wilfred 11/Dec/1743
Elizabeth Baddeley Church Lawton 2/October/1758
good luck

Hi Peter, Thanks very much for that, sorry it has taken me a while to get back to you, I broke my leg recently and it is still non weightbearing which is very frustrating as I can only really go up and down stairs once each way at the moment (on my backend, the computer is downstairs), anyway thanks again for your time and trouble.

Hello
Would you please be kind enough to look for the marriage of George Baker to Mary in Over sometime around 1785. I have the birth index records for 5 of their children, the first one I have is 1803 and the last 1815. All the children were christened in St Chads.
I am also looking for Thomas Ellison who married Rachael, their children were also christened in St Chads around the same time. This one may be a long shot as, according to the early census records Thomas was born in Birmingham and Rachael in Dorchester.
George and Thomas are my husband's gggggrandfathers.
Many thanks.

Hi Rubyrose
The Cheshire marriage index shows these two marriages that would seem to be the ones your after.
22/Feb/1801 St Chads Over George Baker/Mary Waters, Mary being of the parish of Neston.
27/Dec/1806 St Chad Over Thomas Ellison/Rachael Anderson
There is a baptism of a Mary Waters registered in Neston dated 18/July/1780 father James, mother Ann. This may or may not be "your"
Mary but looks a likeley candidate.
You can veiw most of the Wirral/Neston area parish registers index online at http://www.csc.liv.ac.uk/~cprdb/

Hi Peter,
Could you please try to find marriages for the following:-

James Warren to Peggy - first baptism found at Prestbury gives birth date of 21 Dec 1793 when they were at Bollington.
many thanks

Hi Peter ;D
can you do a couple of look-ups for me please?
1. William HANCOCK (b.abt 1777 Chester) and Mary JOHNSON (b. 27/10/1781 Weaverham), 1802 or earlier at Weaverham.
2. Benjamin JOHNSON (b.abt 1766 Weaverham) and Nancy (no other details) 1791 or earlier at Weaverham or Little Leigh.

HI Peter
Could you please look up a Marriage for a RICHARD WALKER Born abt 1817 Waverton to
SARAH ????? Born abt 1812 Ashton
First child as far as I know born abt 1837 in Ashton
Kind Regards
Pughy

Hi
Sorry but cannot see anything for them in the Cheshire Indexes.
Just looked in the 1841 census and there seems to be another child (Martha 4) as well as Thomas 2
HO107 90-39-F10-P14 Waverton
John Walker 65 farmer all born in county
Martha ~ 65
Richard ~ 20 ag lab
Sarah ~ 25
Martha ~ 4
Thomas~ 2
Phebe Hughes 10 female servant
This Martha in 1851 is a servant girl at a farm in Ashton Tarvin Grt Boughton.
Hopefully this is the same family as you are looking at, it is possible that they could have married in one of the Chester Churches, which have a lot of gaps in the marriage register.

Hi,
I'd be grateful if you could look for the marriage of
THOMAS LLEWELLIN (Lewelling etc) and SARAH
probably somewhere near Cuddington, Malpas about 1738-48.
They has a child - Elizabeth - in 1748 baptised in Malpas. In the records, Sarah is described as from Cuddington.
As far as I can tell, the rest of their children were all baptised in nearby Whitchurch, Shropshire which was where Thomas was from.
Thanks,

Hi
Please could you look-up a marriage between Joseph Dodd (Dood) b about 1777, Peckforton ,and Ann ? also about same age b Nantwich.
A Joseph Dodd was a witness to the Marriage of Samuel Dodd and Elizabeth Cookson in Aug 1804 at St Boniface Church, Bunbury.
Joseph could have been a brother/father/cousin to Samuel. I thought that maybe the witnesses to the marriage might give me some more hope of finding more about Samuel. Joseph Cookson was also present.
Samuel spent the last 20 yrs of his life in Calveley, Bunbury until he died in 1862. I don't know where he was born.
He had a son Joseph b 1817 and lived with him up to his death.
I found Joseph and Ann Dodd in 1841 census aged about 60yrs. Living in Ridley near Bunbury and wondered if he could possibly be the witness at Samuel's marriage.
I have not made any progress on my research along this line for a long time.
Please help if you can
Kind regards
Chris

Hi Chris
There is a marriage indexed at Bunbury and dated 2/July/1826 Joseph Dodd a widower to Anne Dutton.
Could this be your couple from the 1841 census ?
peterbennett
-
Hi Peter
I dont think this was the couple in the 1841 census. They were in their 60's in 1841 and Joseph and Ann Dutton would have been about 40 yrs old.

Hi
I am trying to find marriages at Bollington for the Jackson family between 1840 and 1900.
Particularly John or Richard Jackson.
Many, many thanks
Mike
-
Hi Mike,
The indexes in use for these lookups are for pre 1837 marriages. If you look at www.cheshirebmd.org.uk you will be able to look at marriages for the relevant parishes for Bollington yourself (although there are 2 Bollingtons if you look at this page: http://www.fhsc.org.uk/genuki/chs/parishes.htm#B).
There is also a coverage page which will tell you which years have been completed, but coverage is very good for most of Cheshire.

Hi Mike
There is nothing definate entry in the indexes pre 1800 for your Shaws, apart from the ones you already know about, not all entries have the township where they came from, so plenty of Shaws listed but no Soloman, and no way of knowing where the others were living.
sorry not much help I know.

Hi Peter,
could you look up a marriage for "Jayson",for a while now he's been trying to find these two marriages...James Bayley to Anne Pulestone 1741,James Bayley to Ann Hamnett 1747
(Stapeley)..thanks, Oonagh..
-
Hi
Cant find any exact matches for Bayley, there is this for an Anne Puleston widow 1737 to John Puleston son of John at St Edith Shocklach by licence. Its the only Anne indexed.
peterbennett

Thanks very much for your quick reply Peter,it's much appreciated.Oonagh.
-
Hi Peter, Thanks so much for looking for me anyway, I suppose there might be a chance that elizabeth (betty) could have been married just over the border in Staffordshire, what do you think about this please?, would be very grateful for your opinion or anybodyelse's. John and Martha also only have one kid baptised in the Macclesfield St Michael Registers so maybe they could have been from elsewhere as well.
Thanks again
Anna
-
Hi Anna
Have you found them in the 1841 census or other years ?
What records led you to the Mullins of Wildboarclough ?
I don't have any Staffordshire records sorry.
peterbennett
-
Hi Peter, the only Mullins I have traced through the censuses is my 4 times greatgrandmother Hannah Hughes nee Mullins born 1810 and down on all the censuses she was on as being born in Wildboarclough, Betty is her sister and her parents are the John Mullins and Ann Hunt you kindly found for me, would be very grateful with any help you can give me with them in Cheshire though.
Thanks
Anna
-
Hi Kena
Looking at the census of 1841 it shows Hannah and husband Peter living in Manchester with 3 children all born Lancashire, is this your family ?
Are you sure Betty had not died before marrying ?
I have checked the census by searching with Betty, keyword Wildboarclough and then again with keyword Macclesfield and then checked all the married ones in the marriage index, but no Mullins, sorry.
It is possible she married out of the county, but she is not showing up in the census.
peterbennett
-
Hi Peter, Thanks very much for looking for me, am just going on what I have, I know there was a Betty Hudson wife of Peter living in Staffordshire who is said to have been born in Wildboarclough but can't find a marriage on Staffordshire BMD, the IGI or Familyhistoryonline for her, what do you think please?, as before would be very grateful for your opinion.
Thanks
Anna
-
Hi Kena :)
I have checked the census by searching with Betty, keyword Wildboarclough and then again with keyword Macclesfield and then checked all the married ones in the marriage index, but no Mullins, sorry.
But just for you ;)
Peter Hudson married Elizabeth Downes at St Peter Prestbury 24/Dec/1831 both from the township of Wildboarclough.
You really need to ask at the record office for a search of deaths in the Prestbury parish registers, from her baptism dates onwards.
hope this helps

What would we do without Peter Bennett and C0?
More favours, my cousins family this time. BOLTON's in Stockport
I'm back to James William Bolton born about 1801, in 1841 he is living Edgeley, Stockport with his wife Mary, so I'm looking for a marriage.
I found one baptism in 1785 Sarah Bolton daughter of John and Nancy Bolton, I think it was the Wesleyan Church Stockport? didn't write it down ::)
I'm hoping John and Nancy are also parents of James 1801? his first son is named John, and he has a daughter Nancy.
John born about 1836 goes on to marry Elizabeth (Betsy) Minikin, she and her sister Margaret show up in the 1841 census in the household of John and Mary Fletcher in Churchgate, Stockport. The girls were born in Manchester, and I have no idea what relationship they have to the Fletchers. I think they are probably orphans. I'll try the Lancashire board.
One more question, probably should be on the general board. My cousins father and brother went into care of some sort when their parents died around 1910. Sisters were taken in by a family, but they didn't want the boys. Both boys joined the army aged 14 towards the end of the First World war, would these lads have gone into the Workhouse?
Thanks for any help fred B

Hi Fred,
The only marriage I can see is for James BOLTON and Mary ROBINSON 24 Oct 1825 at Cheadle. The indexes don't give any further information and the parents aren't shown on the PR entry at this time, but the witnesses might give you a clue. I'd suggest that you contact Cheshire Records office with the marriage information and see if you can confirm it is your James.
If you look at the Cheshire Family History Society webiste there are a number of microfiche available to purchase for the Stockport area.
Sorry I can't help with the other questions.

Hi Cando
Confused !! me!! alway's !! To be honest I was born confused so anything you throw at me won't make the slightest bit of difference. :)
There is a marriage of a William Peers cotton check maker of Levenshulme Manchester to a Sabra Heddington of the parish of Nantwich, marriage at Nantwich 12 June 1783.
Levenshulme being on the south side (Stockport side) of Manchester.
Still not sure where you get the name Ellen from ? are you saying the obituary could have said that Williams wife was Ellen or maybe Sabra ?
Like I said there are no William Peers marrying an Ellen in Stockport area.
hope this helps

Hi cando and Peter,
You can get the full transcript of the marriage here:
http://www.csc.liv.ac.uk/~cprdb/ as the Nantwich PR's have been transcribed. The entry says Levenholme Manchester P Lancs and the witnesses were Thos Eaton jnr and Thos Birchall. Both bride and groom signed the register and the marriage was by licence. The Thomas Birchall mentioned as witness is probably one of mine......

Thank you.

Hi cando,
The Birchall's were farmers in the Nantwich area - I haven't found any in the cotton industry - yet!

Hi Chris,
I wonder if you could possibly help me. I am researching my Westgarth family and my gt.gt.grandfather states that he was born in Altrincham, Cheshire in 1821. I have been unable to trace a birth for him and would like to find out who his parents were. I have found a birth for a Mary Westgarth in 1819 in Cheshire and whose parents were Harriet (nee Rowbottom) and William Westgarth. The marriage for William and Harriet took place on 22/12/1817 in Bowden, Cheshire. How can I find out if William and Harriet are also the parents of James? I would be most apreciative of any help you could offer.
Kind regards,
Dorothy
-
Hi Dorothy
Sorry I dont have any birth records, marriages only.
I did look for other Westgarth marriages in Cheshire but only found one, Peter Westgarth of Bowden and Jane Burgess of Middlewich, the marriage being at Middlewich 16 Feb 1804.
Could not find a marriage for Wm Westgarth at Bowden, but there is one for a William Westhead and Harriet Rowbotham 22/Dec/1817. Is this mistranscribed ?
There are very few Cheshire records online so I would suggest you send an email request to Cheshire Records office and they will search Bowden registers for you, they normally look at two years either side of the date you give them and don't charge.
Send your request to them at the email address in this link

Many thanks for your prompt reply and for pointing me in the right direction Peter. I will do that. The name of William 'Westhead' is definitely a transcription error as I have it confirmed as William Westgarth and Harriet Rowbottom. Just not sure if these two are my James parents.
Again thanks for your help, it is very much appreciated.
Kind regards,
Dorothy

Hi Chris
I can't find the marriage of my Great X 3 Grandfather who may have married in Cheshire. If I've got it right his son was born c1807 in Handforth, Wilmslow but I can find no siblings. According to his Baptism at St Bartholomew's Wilmslow his parents were John Holt & Ann. John's son George I have followed right up to date but George Holt's parents are a very solid brickwall!
I know there are quite a lot of Holt's in Lancs...no matches so far.
Any help much appreciated. Thanks

John HOLT, Carpenter m Ann MADDERS, Sp. 5th Feb 1776 at Knutsford.

Hi Jean
Just about to head off to bed when I saw your reply - thank you. You are the first contact with possible 'connection'. The time frame ie. pre 1837 is very hard to research. I have had wonderful help from rootschatters. I have lots of info from 1841 census onwards.
I do have a couple of wills to follow up that may confirm that this is the correct family.
Thank you Jean
cando
Hi cando,
I'm afraid that this isn't necessarily a connection as I think Thomas Birchall was possibly the Church Warden so would have witnessed lots of marriages, but if you find out differently please do let me know.
Jean
-
Hello Jean
Thanks for the John Holt/Ann Madders marriage I will see if I can find any connection. As you say a bit early but perhaps my George Holt was the "end?"
I see you have Lymm connections so have I but not your name.
Thanks

Was hoping that someone could look in the index for the following couples:

Hi Peter, Thanks so much for that, I think it might have been a bit early for my John though as he was born in 1809/1810. He could have got married in Staffordshire I suppose as that was where his second marriage took place before they moved back to Cheshire again but so far I haven't been able to find a marriage for him there.
Thanks again anyway

I am looking for a marriage in Ashton-Under-Lyne, but am not sure if that is classed as Cheshire or Lancashire ?
The name is Henry Chorlton born c1788, and Ann ?
Henry and Ann's first child was born in 1813, so I assume the marriage is between 1805 and 1813.
Henrys parents are George & Betty Chorlton, but I don't know where they were married, or born.
Thanks

The index is complete for the Gt Budworth (Northwich) area, and most other parishes at the time your looking at.
The name Weedall is one that can be wrongly transcribed in many ways, I have checked all the various spellings I can think of but cannot see a Joseph anywhere. Athough I wouldn't swear to it I would they did not marry in Cheshire.

I wonder if you can help?
I've failed to find the following marriages in parishes of Shropshire immediately neighbouring the Cheshire parishes of Audlem, Acton, Marbury & Malpas.
Given that marriages almost always take place in the bride's home parish, I wondered if the brides in question just might have come from 'over the border'!
They are:-
1. Philip Simon(s) & Margaret c. 1690-1720
2. Thomas Simon(s) & Susan(na) c.1740-50
3. Joseph Reynolds & Mary c.1735-50

Hi Chris....wonder if you would be able to help out with these two? I don't know birthplaces but have a little info on children.
William Derbyshire (b abt 1781, ag labourer) marriage to Martha (b abt 1776)
They had William Derbyshire (b abt 1814 in Marple) and possibly Benjamin Derbyshire b abt 1811 also in Marple. I don't know of any other children but there could be. 1811 is the earliest I have. I am hoping the marriage may have been in Marple but of course could have been somewhere else.
They lived in Marple for a while and then moved to Bollington pre 1841 where the family settled until the 1880s. Later descendants (eg William 1814) married and I believe also buried at Prestbury Parish Church but I don't know about William and Martha themselves.
ALSO
James Maurice (b abt 1791 ag labourer) and Hannah (b abt 1791)
In census returns they are listed with the following children but I do not know for sure that they were all Hannah's children or whether James married twice. There could be other children I don't know of. There is strange spacing between the children which raises questions as to whose they are.
Mary Maurice 1815 Wilmslow
Ellen Maurice 1815 ?
James Maurice 1819 Wilmslow ( I think he is theirs)
Samuel Maurice 1824 Wilmslow
Daniel Maurice 1831 Wilmsow
Aibgail Maurice 1832 Macclesfield
In 1841 they live in Bollington. and all the children are there except James and Samuel. By 1851 they have all gone but we now have James age 32 (hence slight confusion over him). Mary married William Derbyshire (1814 above) at Prestbury Parish Church and lived in Bollington with him. Samuel went to live in Macclesfied. Not sure yet about the others.
Sorry I don't have anything else. Hope it's not too vague.
Thanks :)

This one looks as if it could be yours datewise, at Stockport 27/Nov/1809 William Derbyshire husbandman and Martha Richards widow.
There is only one other possible in the area dated 10/July/1803 William a stationer and Martha Rothwell also at Stockport.
Checked all the various spelling of the name Mourice and found this one at Wilmslow dated 11/July/1808 James Morris and Hannah Hatton
nothing certain, but hope it helps

Hi
The Stockport marriage would have been St Mary and Wilmslow was St Bartholamew.
Very few churches other than the main parish church were licenced for weddings until around the 1840's.
These links should help with the location of Churches and records etc.

New to Rootschat, hope you can help with 2 marriages for me! Surname is Carrington (or variant). I have Richard (Recardus) whose first recorded child (Ellena) was baptised in 1662 in Eastham and then Richard's father John (Johannis) whose first recorded child was baptised in 1620 again in Eastham. I have no idea of the female names.

Any information on this Cheshire/Lancashire Bennett family? Thanks.
Christopher Allen married Amelia Bennett on January 16, 1826, at Manchester, St. Johns, Lancashire, a Church of England chapel that no longer stands but is marked by a monument. On the parish marriage certificate, Christopher Allen is listed as a brass founder. The certificate is witnessed by Richard Fosbrook Allen and Peter Bennett, Jr. Richard was Christopher’s younger brother; Peter is no doubt related to Amelia, but we do not know in what way. In 1844, Christopher and Amelia emigrated to America and settled in Cleveland, Ohio.
Parish records show that Amelia Bennett, daughter of Samuel and Betty Bennett, was baptized on June 29, 1806 at Manchester Cathedral in Lancashire.
Thomas (brother of Amelia) and Anne Bennett, lived in Manchester, England. In 1835 or 1836 they sailed for America and bought a farm at North Eaton, Ohio.
Thomas's father Samuel Bennett came to America about 1838, went to Dubuque, Iowa, and bought two sections of land. On the return trip by boat, he became very ill, died and was buried in the Mississippi River before the family were aware of his death.
Thomas Bennett died in an accident and was buried on January 8, 1874, at the age of 69 and is buried at Woodland Cemetery, Cleveland. Buried next to Thomas are his wife Anne, buried at age 71 on August 10 , 1891; Martha Clark Jackson, Ann’s mother, buried September 12, 1875 at the age of 77; and Thomas C. Bennett, a grandson by Hamlet Bennett who owned the cemetery plots, age 12, buried March 15, 1891. When Thomas and Anne came to America from England about 1836, she would have been only 16 years old (she was 16 years younger than Thomas). Other children of Hamlet and Belle were Nellie (Heina), Ruth (Pate), Frances (Maurer), Bess, and Charles (wife Rita). Hamlet died at age 86 in 1931. Hamlet’s sister Rachel was born about 1843, married George Dart in 1861, and was the mother of George B., Annie (Bates), Ellen (Kaster), Janice, Flora (Steves), Martha (McDowell), and Grace (Mayette). Rachel died in 1924 at the age of 81, with services at the Methodist Episcopal Church in Cleveland.
Amelia Bennett Allen’s brother Joseph remained in England. In 1841, Joseph was at Hope Street in Heaton Norris (between Manchester and Stockport), age 40, a waste dealer, married to Hannah age 40. Their children were Ann 15; Samuel, a brassfinisher, age 15; James, age 10. Also in the household was Sophia Holden, 15, a cotton weaver. Everyone in the household had been born in Lancashire (Heaton Norris is in Lancashire). The ages are not exact because ages were rounded to the nearest 5 in this census.
Samuel, the son of Joseph living with his father in 1841, was Christopher Allen’s apprentice. We believe Samuel was baptized at Hatherlow Congregational Church in Stockport, Cheshire, on June 14, 1823, the son of Joseph and Mary Bennett. If so, Mary must have died; in 1841 Joseph’s wife is Hannah. This would make Samuel 18 years old at the time of the 1841 census, a year before his uncle Christopher departed for America. In the 1851 census, Samuel Bennett is in Hulme at 15 Melbourne Street, at age 28 (born Stockport, Cheshire) with wife Mary (28 and born in Manchester), son Thomas (age 4, born in Chorlton, Lancashire), and daughter Mary Jane (age 1, born Hulme, Lancashire). Samuel is a master brassfounder at this time. The Slater’s directory of the same year lists Samuel Bennett as a partner in Bennett and Storey, brass founders.

Hello Peter, Chris or anyone else who may be able to help..I'd be most grateful ;D
I'm looking for Marriage of Samuel Collier (b 1812/13) to Hannah (b 1812/13)...probably in Stockport and baptism of their (presumed) first daughter Ellen (census always gives year of birth as 1836).
All later census shows all three as being born in Stockport. He was a clogger.
I'm guessing the marriage would have been about 1834/5 as that is just before Ellen was born but there is no daughter Hannah so there could have been a child before Ellen who did not survive.
In 1841 they lived at Hempshaw Lane, Stockport.
For info: There is another Samuel Collier from Stockport about that time with daughter Ellen but wife Suzanna. They lived in High Lane. I've checked and it is not the same family.
By 1851 they had moved to Sculcoates/Sutton in Yorkshire
There are also the following siblings post 1837 and I may send off for a birth cert for one eventually but have not done so yet.
Samuel 1838
Robert 1840
William 1843
Richard 1846
Harriet 1848
George 1850
Thankyou very much.. :) :)

Hi
There seems to be just one marriage around that time period.
Samuel Collier to Hannah Dodge Jadburn at St Mary Cheadle dated 9/May/1835.
I suspect the name Jadburn is a mistranscription but of what I am not sure. Checking other indexes for the same name anytime anywhere brings up nothing.

Samuel Collier to Hannah Dodge Jadburn at St Mary Cheadle dated 9/May/1835.
I suspect the name Jadburn is a mistranscription but of what I am not sure. Checking other indexes for the same name anytime anywhere brings up nothing.
regards
peterbennett
That looks like the right one. In 1841 they are living with a family called Chadburn. I thought it was just another family renting rooms but now can investigate as possible in-laws.
Thank you ever so much :) :) :) :)

Hi Milly
I shouldn't put this on here but it might help ;)
Ellen Collier was C 4th June 1843 St Thomas Stockport

Thanks for that Celia. The birth is 1836 so either it was done late or mis-transcribed so I'll put on my list of originals to take a look out.

Hello again :)
I've checked the 1841 census and if those Chadburn's are the in-law's then Hannah's parents should be called Richard and Martha. Would you (or anyone) be able to look and see if a baptism comes up for Hannah (most likely in Stockport) around 1812 (although 1841 census puts it at 1816 and 1871 as 1807 so I'm not entirely sure of the date)
Dodge is an odd middle name - perhaps that is HER mother's maiden name.
Thanks again for all the help
:) :)

Hi
I don't have access to baptism records and very few for Stockport are available in the IGI, none for Hannah Chadburn.
I would suggest you put a separate request on this board you may catch someone who's going to the record office.
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/board,205.0.html
As to marriages for Richard there are two, neither of which are to a Martha or a Dodge.
22/January/1789 Richard a weaver and Lettice Wilkinson at Stockport.
1/September/1795 muslin weaver and Ann Shelmerdine also at Stockport.
Just found a marriage which looks as if it may be the one.
Richard Chatburn weaver 25/October/1801 to Martha Harrop at Stockport by licence.
This where the Dodge connection seems to arrive
Martha Dodge married Robert Harrop 26/Nov/1774 at Stockport.
hope this helps

Hi, please can anybody tell me if there is a marriage of a William Beresford (or variant) and Mary Ann Washington in the indexes anywhere, think Mary Ann might have been from Barthomeley and the marriage would have taken place in the 1600's sometime.

Hi wonder if you can help.......Looking for a marriage James Boyer to Mary Broady l827 Great Budworth.....trying to trace there parents....thankyou.....Tine
-
Hi Tine
Welcome to Rootschat :)
The marriage was indexed as 12/March/1827 but no parents names are mentioned.
Do you have any other details for them IE ages, children, census, etc.
There are some entries in the IGI that may tie in with this couple, have you found them ?
http://www.rootschat.com/links/0bq/
peterbennett

Hi Peter,
thankyou for the help, and yes I do have more information......apparently Mary had a son John Broady in approx l825 and having tried to research this over about three years Ive come to a dead end....let me explain.....John Broady was my great great grandfather, and it was only on delving into the past did I find out that Mary his mother, was unmarried at the time of his birth, she then went on to marry James Boyer who I believe was Johns father in l827 in great Budworth Cheshire, I believe Mary's parents may be Tom and Mary Broady all from the Great Budworth and Moulton area of cheshire. I think Mary and James went on to have 4 more children Richard William Ann and Ruth but have no proof to actually tie these children in with Mary and James.....its been a bit of a stumbling block really and other members of the family far and wide who Ive traced cant get beyond this so anything you could find would be appreciated. ps John Broady married Sarah Phipps in mid l840"s

Hi
I think it may be best if you ask for a lookup of the Gt Budworth registers on this board http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/board,6.0.html
A lookup of the birth of John Broady and the possible siblings.
It is unlikely that the original marriage entry will show the parents of Mary and James but worth a look.
Did John Broady's marriage certificate give any clues as to father and who were the witnesses ?
peterbennett
-
thanks for the help peter and yes from the information ive recived his father isjames boyer, but from what we can understand it was policy in those days to take mothers surname if parents were not married. I will take your advice and have a look on the boards you have mentioned....once again thankyou

Hi Les
Welcome, nice to see your first post on the boards :)
The marriage index show that Sarah Eardley married Chas Wilcocks school master married by licence.
If you send an email to the Cheshire RO at the address in the link below and give them the marriage details you can ask for a copy of the licence and any accompanying bond.
http://www.cheshire.gov.uk/Recordoffice/shop/
The bond may show a relatives name, but is unlikely to give parents details.
They are fairly quick and would only make a small charge to cover cost of copying etc.

Hi Again
Just had a good look at the 1841 census
1841 HO107-119-11-Folio 13 The Parks Congleton
Charles Wilcock 42 school master not born in county
Edward 12 born in county
Elizabeth 10 ~ ~
George 7
Charles 5
Soloman 1
Sarah 38
And on the same page
1841 HO107-119-11-Folio 13 The Parks Congleton
Elizabeth Eardley 85 independant born in county
Louisa Willcock 14 female servant ~ ~ ~
The 1841 census does not give relationships, so its quite conceivable that Louisa is related to Elizabeth Eardley
regards
peterbennett
-
Thanks again for your ongoing help, Peter. I'll follow up your advice regarding emailing the Cheshire RO.
Regarding the 1841 Census, Louisa Willcock aged 14 would probably be the great grand daughter(?) of Elizabeth Eardley. Louisa's mother is Sarah Willcock (nee Eardley) in the other Census you supplied. Sarah's mother was Mary Eardley (nee Badcock), so that's why I presume Elizabeth could be the great grandmother.

Les, if you have an interest in the Eardley surname you may want to have a look at this site: http://www.eardley.org/ - lots of interesting information and I think there are some family trees on there if you dig around. Also a message board, I'm sure that they'd like to hear from you if you haven't already been in touch.

Hello
I wonder whether you could look up the marriage of a John Roylance and Sarah?. He appears on the 1841 census aged 35 (actually 37) living at Upton Court Stockport. His eldest child is aged 10 years on the 1841 (20 on 1851 census)census so presumably married around 1829-1832 ish?
Any help gratefully received!
With thanks
AH

Hi AK
There is a marriage at St Mary Cheadle dated 20th June 1826 John Roylance and Sarah Jent.
There is only one other Jent marriage in the index for the area, (although plenty of Gent's)
Ann Jent to John Bent at Cheadle 18th July 1819. Maybe related.
Regards
peterbennett
-
Thanks for looking that up.
I suppose if thats the only John Roylance and Sarah it must be them? I know that on the 1851 census John and Sarah have a ?Aaron Gent? brother-in law living with them and I suppose its not inconceivable that Gent and Jent are a bit interchangeable....sometimes I wish I had one of those bibles with everything nicely written down going back to 1066 or some such date :P...still I suppose that would spoil the fun ::)!!

G'day there,
This is a bit of a long-shot but would be interested to know if there is any record of the name 'Trewhella' (var.) having been married in Cheshire.
Been researching the name for nearly thirty years and still have some to track down.
IF possible (and ONLY IF possible) I would appreciate a lookup.
Ian

The marriage indexes don't show any Trewhella's but does have quite a few Trelva, Trelfar and Trelfa, these are the closest. if you need any details please ask

Peter,
A second reply to this as I am not sure my attachment worked.
The address for the new Penwith Genealogy forum is as follows:-
http://azazella.proboards41.com/
I tried to copy it as a hyperlink but it didn't work in the note. (Will have to start learning a bit more about these types of things!)
Have been working with computers since the mid-70's but had a period of several years where I did not have Internet access. It is only now about four months since I had renewed access so a lot of things are a big learning curve.
I reckon you will be able to sort the above out and we might get some more information flow going.
Best Regards,
Ian
-
Peter,
My second note appears to have gone through ok with the supplied address 'hyperlinked'.
However, it would appear my original note may not have made it.
So, basically, thank you for your look up and expedient response.
I did not really expect a positive result but I do now at least know that Cheshire was not a place where my people married - at least prior to 1837!
Thanks again,
Ian

Dear Chris,
I'm looking for the marriage certificate for Miriam Massey and Thomas Hinton at Great Budworth, Cheshire. I believe this was in September 1812.
Does this show her mother's maiden name ? I would be particularly interested if it does.
Thanks so much!
Susie
-
Hi Susie
Welcome to Rootschat :)
Sorry but no marriage certificates in the UK prior to 1837.
The parish records will not show Miriams mothers maiden name, it is also very likely that her mother and father are not be mentioned either.
There was some research done for another member a couple of years ago for the same family, maybe they have the answer.
You can find it in this link.

Some time ago Peter generously searched the marriage index for Joseph Weedall but was unable to find him.
After much searching on the LDS site I've found the following marriage which looks promising but is a patron submitted entry with no source details.
Joseph Widdall / Elizabeth Widby 16 April 1810 Sandbach
I would be very appreciative if these names could be checked in the index.
Many thanks

Hi Chris....wonder if you would be able to help out with these two? I don't know birthplaces but have a little info on children.
William Derbyshire (b abt 1781, ag labourer) marriage to Martha (b abt 1776)
They had William Derbyshire (b abt 1814 in Marple) and possibly Benjamin Derbyshire b abt 1811 also in Marple. I don't know of any other children but there could be. 1811 is the earliest I have. I am hoping the marriage may have been in Marple but of course could have been somewhere else.
They lived in Marple for a while and then moved to Bollington pre 1841 where the family settled until the 1880s. Later descendants (eg William 1814) married and I believe also buried at Prestbury Parish Church but I don't know about William and Martha themselves.
Thanks :)
Hi
This one looks as if it could be yours datewise, at Stockport 27/Nov/1809 William Derbyshire husbandman and Martha Richards widow.
There is only one other possible in the area dated 10/July/1803 William a stationer and Martha Rothwell also at Stockport.
Checked all the various spelling of the name Mourice and found this one at Wilmslow dated 11/July/1808 James Morris and Hannah Hatton
nothing certain, but hope it helps
peterbennett
Hi Peter,
A while ago you very helpfully suggested the above marriages for William and Martha Derbyshire. Well I went to Chester RO last week and looked for their children's baptisms and the first born appears to be in 1810 which fits well with the Martha Richards marriage in 1809. I found the original for that but it didn't add very much. Nothing else came up so it's looking very likely.
It says she is a widow and I was wondering if you would be able to check and see if there are any options for her first marriage? Sorry - there's not much to go on I know. I'm thinking there may have been half siblings to be found which could throw up some more clues.
Thanks
:) :) :) :) :) :) :)

Hi Millymcb
There are two possible for a first marriages in Cheshire, of ( ..... ? Richards and a Martha .....? )
Benjamin Richards weaver of Bollington and Martha Shaw of Tytherington 22/1/1805 at Prestbury.
Jas Richards Scissors manufacturer and Martha Chew 15/Oct/1792 Stockport.
The 1841 census seems to suggest that Benjamin may still be alive, living alone in Adlington born c1770. He is still around in 1851 in Adlington 78 and a retired farmer born Rugeley Staffordshire.
So maybe you can rule out the Benjamin/Martha marriage.
It is also possible Martha's first marriage could have been in Derbyshire, Marple being quite close to the border.
Good luck

Hi Peter,
Does the Index you have ever show parents names of brides and/or grooms? I'm trying to trace the parents of Joseph Hankinson b. 1769/70 who married Martha Clark on 3.May 1792 at St Mary's, Bowdon, by license. If the record doesn't show the parents, would you mind having a look for any other Hankinson marriages before 1770 in that area, or Altrincham, as the couples children were christened at Hale and Shaws Lane Presbyterian?
Many thanks,
Pixie

Hi Pixie. :)
It dosen't really matter who you address your message to, there are several members with the resourses to help on this thread.
Unfortunatly the resourse is only an index of the marriages and gives very little information apart from the basic names dates etc, the orginal parish register entry may give a little bit more, but not as a general rule.
Do you have a copy of the licence and or bond from the marriage you mention ? if it servives a copy will be available from the Cheshire RO. The bond document may give you a clue as to parents.
There are two marriages around that time and area.
John Hankinson of Bowden and Susannah Williamson dated 23/January/1753 at Ashton on Mersey St Martins.
John Hankinson and Ann Bate 16/January/1769 at Wilmslow.
hope this helps

Hi Peter, :)
Thank you very much for your reply and the info about the other Hankinson marriages.
The details I gave about Joseph and Martha's marriage were obtained by another genealogist who looked in the Bowdon Parish Register. I do not have a copy of the Bond or License - I didn't realise CRO microfilmed entries were available as copies. I'll try to get one ordered!

Hi Peter,
With regard to my queries about the Hankinson/Clarke Marriage License on page 61 - I have received it today but it doesn't offer any new clues as to the groom's parents unfortunately. But it has given me a bit more info on the couple - the Bond was sworn by Joseph H and Phillip Clarke, both shown as Farmers, with Martha Clarke shown as a resident of Ashley (near Bowdon). The document is dated 1.5.1792 and the parties swear to pay a bond of £200 if the marriage fails to take place (the couple married on 3.5.1792 at St.Mary, Bowdon).
Do you know whether this was a standard fee? £200 sounds a bit steep to me and I wondered if the Bond might indicate the parties income levels?
Also, I thought Phillip Clarke might be Martha's father. There's one listed in the IGIndex, chr. at Rostherne 23.9.1750, married 1778 at Bowdon, but this date suggests he's unlikely to be her father.
If you have access to any records which might shed some light on these questions, I would be very grateful for lookups if you have the time. If not, any suggestions on how to unravel this tangle would be great!!
Many thanks,
Pixie

Hi Peter,
Would you have any details on Ashton under Lyne? It's classed as Cheshire I've discovered.
The marriage of Charles Yeaman and Lucy Lowe on 24/5/1813, are there any details please?
and, is there a marriage for James Siddall to an Alice, around 1812-17 (their first child I can find christened is 1817)
I think both of these would be St Michaels, Ashton
many thanks,
Tessa

Hi Tessa,
Ashton under Lyne isn't classed as Cheshire but the Ashton under Lyne registration districts (post 1837) cover parts of Cheshire so these have been covered by the Cheshire BMD project. The data that we have access to is an index only so won't give any more information than you have already for the marriage of Charles Yeaman although I did check just in case. I've also checked for the James Siddall marriage, but nothing there I'm afraid.
Sorry I can't be of more help,

Do You have access to Mottram-in-Longdendale, St Michaels records ?
My gt grandmother Hannah Broadhurst married Sydney(Sidney) Greaves somewhere before 1836 when Elizabeth Greaves was born. She is from Newton which I know at that time was in Mottram Parish.
Best Regards
-
Hi
Yes the index does cover St Michaels but there is nothing there for them.
But I did find this record which could be them,
5/April/1835 at St Mary Stockport Sid Greaves of Wernerth and Hann Broad
You don't say where Sidney was born but if there is any Wernerth connection then I would say the Broadhurst name may have been misheard and entered wrongly.
hope this helps
peterbennett
-
Yes they lived in Werneth - Sidney/Sydney came from Chadderton and Hannah Newton, I have the birth certificate of their youngest child so I know the name is correct and I have all their Census details as well as Hannah's death certificate.
Thankyou for your help that could well be them.

Hi Chris
This is a bit of a long shot but I'm looking for a marriage between
William Darlington and Ann (e)
They had their first child Joseph in 1820 so i'd guess they married about 1818. Joesph was born in Chester.
Sorry I have no further information.
Thanks in advance

HI Chris
Does your index Cover Kinnerton/Dodleston Cheshire/Flintshire If so could you look for the marriage of a William Williams b abt 1806 Kinnerton & Mary ???? b abt 1816 Mold Flintshire
There first Child Thomas Williams was born abt 1835 Kinnerton.
Thanking You.

Hi Peter,
Many thanks for your kind offer. I'm clutching at straws here, so forgive! I have a Richard Wenlock HOLTON marrying a Frances FARRAND. He dies in 1803 aged 54,the following year a 2nd daughter dies aged 2, so I feel this is a 2nd marriage for him. So maybe around 1798 - 1806 perhaps? I'm asking as the name FARRAND seems quite prominant in Cheshire. Here's hoping. :)as I have found absolutely nothing regarding this couple for quite a while.
Thanks again, Stella ;D

I’m trying to find the first marriage for Thomas Bowden born c1765, Stockport.
I’ve found two possible entries on the IGI.
The first is in 1787 to Martha and the second one to Peggy Thompson in 1789,both Stockport.
Could you please look at the index to see if there are any more details for either marriage and if it’s not too much trouble see if there are any more Thomas Bowden marriages in Stockport about that time?
Many Thanks,
Pat.

Hi Pat
Cannot find a mention of the 1787 marriage to a Martha, but the one to Peggy in 1789 is indexed and the only other info is that he was a weaver.
2 other Thomas Bowden marriages in 1780 but this seems a bit early for your chap.
peterbennett
-
Hi Peter,
Many thanks for the look-up; it’s very much appreciated.
Thomas’s occupation was weaver when he married for the second time, so I’m keeping my fingers crossed that this is the one.
Once again many thanks,

Hi Tessa
The marriage was at St Peters Prestbury 1/Nov/1817 Rich Warren lab. Mary Pickford spinster both of Macclesfield Forest.
Looks as if they may have had children earlier than 1825 ?
peterbennett
-
Thanks Peter,
Yes they probably had older children, he is 50-54 on the 1841 census and she is 40-44 (or lying!) the eldest child is 15 but at the bottom of their family list is Septimus Warren 35 who I presume is Richard's younger brother. :-\

:D Hi there,
you wouldnt have any harrops or cookes on your records would you, the harrops came from around bollington and the cookes near altrincham dunham massey the story goes that there is a connection between the cookes and the greys of dunham massey, you know the wrong side of the sheets type of thing and I would love to find out if the story is true, many thanks...sue
-
Hi Sue :)
Welcome to Rootschat :)
There is only one marriage between a Cooke and an Harrop anywhere in the Cheshire indexes
Nathaniel Harrop/Alice Cooke 14/8/1805 at Prestbury
There does not seem to be any Grey/Gray marriages to either Harrop or Cook.
Not a lot of help I know, problem is there may have been a relationship between the families but if its not a marriage or a birth it won't be registed anywhere to prove or disprove.
Anyway they didn't do things like in Cheshire did they ;D ;D
peterbennett

Thank you for that, no what is supposed to of happened is the servant girl being had by the lord and married off and the child provided for...my mother was sure it was the 7th earl, and although he was a rouge and had strange taste in women I don't think it was him, I thought it was the harry Grey who became the 8th earl...before he was sent away to south Africa by bringing shame on his family by being a drunk and a wasterall...that would of made it a Sarah Jane jackson who worked as a servant for them and Alfred Cooke who she was married off too and even though they had 12 children I might add I can find no record of them ever being married and for some strange reason all 11 kids were baptized but the first one George w...never was, but I have come across a book that puts the Cooke's working for the earls of Stamford back when the 5th earl was alive and that George Cooke died and left a lot of money back to the Grey family..the author of the book implied he might of stolen it but why would you leave money to the family you stole from...no looking at the bit of will she has in the book I think he was the Cooke born out of wedlock and taken on as steward..the money he left would of been to his half brothers etc...so the story seems to be a lot older then I had first thought.

I am trying to find details for 2 marriages if possible.
The first is William Shore in malpas abt 1806. I believe the spouse to be Hannah Dunn and she may be from Staffordhire.
The second is Joseph Shore. He was born around 1750 in the Malpas area. I'm not sure of his spouse, but it may be Margaret Dickins.
Any information gratefully received.
Thanks Barbara

There is a marriage at St Oswalds Malpas dated 24/Feb/1806 for William and Hannah Dunn.
Sorry but can't find anything in Cheshire for a Joseph around that timeframe (1765-1800)

Thanks for the quick reply Peter.
I don't suppose you would check one more for me please.
It is for Joseph Platt who married a Mary. He was from Faddiley born abt 1805/6, but I think Mary was form Bronington in Flintshire. The marriage would have been between about 1822-1832 but I don't know whether it was in flintshire or Cheshire.
Thanks very much.

There isn't a marriage at all in the area between a James and Sophia that would fit in that time frame, but there is one dated 18/June/1837 James to a Sophia Taylor at Stockport, could be he was married previously ? What did he do for a living ? I will check the other James Holt marriages in Stockport area.

A bit embarrassed here, for some unknown reason in my first search I looked for a James and Sophia when your request quite plainly states Thomes, must be old age creeping on :-[

Hi,
I'm trying to trace the marriage of Daniel Cliff b. 1799 of Macclesfield to Sophia(Sofia) who was born in Wilmslow. I haven't found her maiden name as yet. The marriage may have taken place around 1830.
I've found the details of Daniel's parents marriage (or at least I hope so!)
Daniel Cliff (Snr) to Sarah Wilshaw, April 22 1794 in Macclesfield and also other Cliff's around this time.
I found a marriage for Thomas Cliff to Lidia Trueman - January 5 1736 - but I don't know if he is connected to them. It's a long shot but Thomas is a family name.
Any information or advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Jean, I am looking for marriages for the following Booth men. They probably resided in the Grappenhall and Thelwall areas of Cheshire. My guess is that they would have married when they were about 21 yrs of age thus I would add that to their birth years and go forward about another 10 yrs.
Thomas Booth bc 1724
John Booth bc 1749
Thomas Booth bc 1789 in Grappenhall. He married Mary __.
I sincerely thank you for your response.

Hi Lisa :)
Don't think I can add a lot to what you already have, just a few bits and pieces. The marriage indexes are only indexes therefore not much more than names and dates.
If you want a full copies of the parish register entries or licences these can be obtained quite easily from the Cheshire RO. By emailing the full details to the address in this link.
http://www.cheshire.gov.uk/Recordoffice/aboutus/recoffcontact.tm
Peter Stubbs 1770 occupation farmer married by licence
Peter Stubbs 1784 occupation yeoman married after banns

Hi chris
I am trying to locate the marriage of John Foden to Sarah? in the Congleton area.
My Grandfather x 3 Henry Foden, their son,was born 1825 but I am sure there were probably other children.
John was a Butcher.
Here's hoping
Cheryl

Hi Cheryl
There is a marriage at Goostry dated 25/May/1835 for a Sarah Potts and John Foden butcher.
Also there are several marriages in the area for John Foden butcher prior to 1816.
Do you have your John and Sarah + Henry together in any census at all, where was Henry born ?
peterbennett
-
Hi Peter
Henry was born in 1825, I have him down as born Congleton but I am not sure whether that is correct.
I have found a John Foden born1776 on the 1841 Census listed as living in a place called Blackden (Congleton), with wife Sarah and another son called James who is also a Butcher.The birth date of 1776 ties in with the info I have been given by my Cousin.
Henry married a Mary Harvey (a widow) in 1848 at Astbury Church, John is listed as deceased on the Marriage certificate.
I cannot find another John Fode listed as a Butcher on the 1841 Census.
Hope that helps a bit
Thanks for your help

Hi Peter,
I have 2 marriages I would love some help with
James Dale (b~1805) m. Sarah? ~1826 (first child ~1827) Leftwich area - her maiden name may be Jackson as one child had this as a middle name.
Samuel Harrison (b~1796) m. Elizabeth ~1820 (first child ~1821) Northwich area - last child of 8 was called Henshaw so possibly a maiden name again.
many thanks,

Hi June,
Nothing jumps out as obvious:

Jas DALE, widower, farmer m Sarah GLOVER 27 Feb 1820 at Astbury
Jas DALE, schoolmaster, m Sarah BARNETT 5 May 1824 Astbury

Saml. HARRISON, bach m Betty CARTER, Sp. 27 Dec 1818 Great Budworth
Samuel HARRISON, bach m Betty WILLIAMSON, Sp. 28 Dec 1820 Great Budworth
Again, nothing obvious I'm afraid.
Jean
-
Hi Jean,
Samuel Harrison & Elizabeth Davies looks very good as in 1841 he was a flatman. I can look at Elaizabeth Davies' now and see if there was a connection with a Henshaw.
Forgive me I have just realised I gave the wrong information - James Dale also married an Elizabeth - Sarah Jackson Dale was their daughter...... I seem to have brain fade (all too often!!). James was a farmer.
please, please forgive....
June
-
please, please forgive....
Forgiven! ;D
However, I can't see a James DALE - Elizabeth marriage that fits at all!
Jas DALE m Eliz BROADHURST 24 Apr 1828 at Cheadle
Jas DALE, cotton spinner m Betty JONES, sp 12 Jun 1824 at Prestbury (both of Macclesfield)
The only other one is in 1773! There is this just out of interest:
James DALE, farmer m Mary HARRISON, sp 18 Jun 1804 Astbury by licence.
Sorry I can't be of more help,

Hi Lesley,
I've checked both my marriage indexes for GAR[D]NER and HOOK but no luck. In fact there are virtually no HOOK marriages at all. Chester doesn't look to be very well covered although it is difficult to tell at a glance. It might be worth keeping an eye on http://www.csc.liv.ac.uk/~cprdb/ - things are very slow moving but there has been an update recently although no additions. If you look at progress a couple of Chester parishes are nearly ready for upload, but don't hold your breath...last one was quite a long time ago now!
Sorry I can't be of more help,
Jean

Many thanks for looking Jean. My Hooks originate in Sussex, but I have found no marriage there, and as Ann was from Chester, thought it was worth a try! I will keep checking for updates until I am able to get a look at the registers.

Hi Peter
Thankyou very much for the John Foden marriage information.
I think the only way to be sure is to see if anybody has any birth records for 1825, and try and find Henry Foden's birth in 1825.
Thankyou again

Chris, would you please check your Cheshire Parish Records Marriage book for the following two names ?
Thomas BOOTH m. Mary __ probably in Grappenhall (or Warrington). He was born there in 1784 so I suspect he would have married between the years of 1804 and 1812.
Thomas' father was John Booth b 1749 in Ince (near Thornton le moor). Wife's name is unknown. He would have probably married between 1770 and 1780.
Thank you for your kindness, Bettye

Hi Bettye
Unfortunatly the Cheshire marriage indexes do not as a rule have the Warrington churches records, these are generally regarded as being "Lancashire" here is a link that shows the various churches and which records are kept where.
http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/LAN/Warrington/#ChurchRecords
Found nothing for a Thomas at all, but did find a couple of other Booth marriages that may be of interest to you, if not at the moment then they may/maynot be useful further into your research.
26/March/1733 at Thornton-le-Moors St Mary John Booth and Elizabeth Hyde (banns)
9/September/1781 John Booth and Ann Jackson at St Wilfreds Grappenhall (banns)
hope this helps

Hi
Sorry but there is nothing in the indexes for the possible marriage. If she was a widow the marriage certificate of 1841 will probably have her maiden name as well as previous married name.

Hi Chris,
I am looking for the marriage of Henry Kelsall. He married his second wife Mary between 1812 and 1815. The area I am looking for is probably Altrincham, although I am not certain. Henry was from Agden and was buried in the churchyard of Rostherne which would I think come under the district of Altrincham.
Sorry I am unable to give more details.

Hi Moureen
Sorry can't seem to find anything anywhere in Cheshire within or near that timeframe.
Looking at the 1841 census there is a Mary Kelsall (no Henry) living at Agden with several children born 1813 upwards. Are these yours ?
peterbennett
-
I seem to have got my Chris and Peter missed up - sorry about that Peter!
The 1841 details showing Mary Kelsall as a widow are the correct family but I don't have much information to work on. Jonathan Kelsall was the son of Mary and Henry but was not living with the family in 1841.
I know Henry was the father of Jonathan, but I don't know the maiden name of his mother Mary or where she was from so I'm clutching at straws here!
I wonder if you would be kind enough to check one more of the clan - John Kelsall who married Charlotte around 1837. Both John and Charlotte were born in Sale and both buried at Timperley, so the parish of marriage is possibly Sale. I'm afraid that I do not know the maiden name of Charlotte.
Many thanks for your help so far. I do appreciate it.
Regards,
Maureen

Hi Moureen
The main reason I asked about that particular Mary Kelsall and family is that I did a search of "Kelsall + variations in the marriage index) and found at St Mary Lymm a marriage dated 9/Feb/1813 between a Henry Kelshaw and Mary Bell. This looked to me as if it may be mistranscription or the registrar misheard the name. I searched through the 1841 and could find no match for the Kelshaw's or other Kelshaws in the area. But did spot the Mary Kelsall and family, I believe this could your Henry and Mary. Having then spotted a death for Henry Kelsall in Lymm 1837 it again adds to the suspicion that Henry Kelshaw was in fact Henry Kelsall.
Agden as you proberbly know is next to the township of Lymm
http://www.ukbmd.org.uk/genuki/chs/agden1.html
John Kelsall married a Charlotte Goodier at Manchester Cathedral 4/Nov/1835, it was not unusual to find Cheshire folk marrying there especially if it needed to be a arranged quickly or a cheap midweek one.
4/Nov/1835 was a wednesday. Found the marriage in
http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/
hope this helps

Totally irrelevant ... but having just spotted this thread, could it be the longest running one on RootsChat ?
(Now to check up on Cheshire ancestors to see if I can use you !)

Hi Peter,
Thank you for all the information you sent.
Henry Kelsall/Kelshaw's marriage at Lymm looks a distinct possibility.
I found John and Charlotte Kelsall's marriage on 'Family Search' and it gave the marriage date as about 1837 - didn't think of looking further! I'm not sure whether this family is a direct link with Henry so will have to do further research on that one.Interesting that you could get a cheap midweek marriage at the Cathedral - Wow!
Again very many thanks for all your help Peter
Best wishes,

Hi Peter
This marriage would seem to be the one - many thanks.
I would value your opinion on the following.
I have been searching for a marriage for John Edwards and Mary in the Peckforton area. You have helped in the past and I have searched parish registers as well but no joy so far. Through census and searching parish records I have found what I'm pretty sure is a 2nd marriage for Mary Edwards (nee Badcock - father Thomas) in 1841 in Bunbury and she seems to fit. Can't find a baptism for her but on 24 Feb 1799 (which would be a very good fit) there was a baptism of Mary Badcock d/o of John Badcock and also a baptism for William s/o Thomas Badcock (Both in Bunbury). What are the odds on the vicar mixing up the fathers??

Hi John,
The only marriage I can see is at www.cheshirebmd.org.uk of Samuel MAURICE and Ann FODEN at Macclesfield St Paul in 1851. This is also on www.freebmd.org.uk. Where did you find the surname MOTTERSHEAD?

Thanks very much. I wonder if Ann Mottershead
was married previously to '? Foden' and then remarried in 1851 to a Samuel Maurice.
In 1851 census it gives John Mottershead b1792 as father-in-law to Samuel Maurice.
Can you find any information of a marriage between an Ann Mottershead b 1821 and ? Foden.

Hi, I know I have asked for a lookup of this marriage before but it was not able to be found. Now I can't find it on this thread.
However I think I may have asked for a lookup in the wrong area, so I hope it is OK if I try again.
Could someone please see if they can find a marriage between Joseph Lawrenson (many spellings, also misspelled as Sawrinson) and Rebecca (surname unknown). This may have taken place in the Utkinton/Rushton or Tarporley areas of Cheshire from 1816 onwards. First child I know of is born around 1825 but there may have been others born prior to 1825.
Thanks a lot.

Hi
Are you asking if the priest got the fathers mixed at the baptism or her "second" marriage ? if the two baptisms were on the same day then there is a chance they could be mixed then.
There was a John Badcock who married at Bunbury 31/Dec/1795 to Elizabeth Gardiner, so it possible both he and Thomas were having children at the same time, are there any mothers names mentioned in the baptism registers ?

Hi Peter
Yes I'm asking re the baptism. No mother's name was mentioned in the baptisms but even so they were both named Elizabeth! John and Thomas Badcock both had sons named John in 1801 and other children as well but there was only one Mary. Looking at my notes I have found baptism of William son on Thomas Badcock of Peckforton Dec 2nd 1798. I think it's back to Chester R.O. to search burials to see if one Thomas died and the other replaced him - if not vicar mixing up the dad's seems possible. I'll also look at census to see if I can find two Thomas's born about same time.
Thanks for letting me run this past you - it helped to clarify the situation.

PS Could you find out at all what happened to James Foden?
Hi John,
There are 2 possible James Foden death records on the index (note that www.cheshirebmd.org.uk is not complete):
James FODEN aged 28 East Macclesfield 1847 EMC/9/13
James FODEN aged 29 Alderley 1851 ALD/2/55
You would need to send for the certificates to be sure. If you go to the above website and search you will see that you can click on the reference, this will give you a form that you can complete and send off.

Hello again
You helped me so much once before, I'd like to ask for your help again please.
I have Thomas Robinson born c. 1782 Congleton, Cheshire. I'm sure he marries Ellen also born Congleton, Cheshire circa 1796. I can only trace one son at the moment Henry, born 1823 Congleton. So would presume they married Congleton.
Hoping you may be able to find Thomas' wife's maiden name.

Hi Joan :)
The only Thomas Robinson marrying an Ellen in the Congleton area was an Ellen Stubbs 30/June/1822 at Astbury St Mary. The index states that Thomas was a widower and a bricklayer.
Had a look for earlier marriages in the area and the nearest one was Thomas Robinson bat. to Alice Piggot sp. at Sandbach dated 4/April/1808.
hope this helps

Hello again Peter,
Whoo hoo looks like there was a first marriage ::) The date does fit in perfectly with their son, and I wondered a little about the age gap, but that would account for it.

There is a marriage for a Samuel Wainfield to Sarah Edwards at Wybunbury dated 22/8/1796 by licence.
He may have been Mary Wainfield's brother ?
Where did you get the "fathers" name from, if it was from the licence how was it spelt.
peterbennett

Hi Peter,
its actually spelt Saml, so i assumed it was a shortened version of Samuel, i suppose it could have been her brother, but as it was on the licence i thought it was the father.
Any other Wingfield's at Wbunbury?
Also, im cheeky, on another line i'm trying to find out my great x seven grandmothers maiden name.

Hi Chris,
I don't know if you can help, it would appear that my tree may be incorrect :'( I believe my 3 x Great Grandparents to be Thomas Oakes bapt. 15-10-1797 at St. Chads Over Cheshire, married 20-6-1819 Over, to Ann Brown bapt 13-5-1794 Davenham Cheshire.
I have Thomas Brown married to Sarah Barber as Ann's parents (unfortunately no details as yet).
The problem starts with Thomas' parents :-\ I believe them to be John Oakes bapt. 20-6-1770 at St. Chads married 21-3-1791 Sandbach Cheshire to Mary Rowley bapt. 20-4-1769 Taxel Cheshire, this is currently being queried by a fellow researcher at the moment. Also John Oakes parents whom I have as John Oakes bapt. 19-5-1749 Sandbach, Cheshire married 1-2-1768 in Over by Middlewich to Jane Egerton bapt 3-8-1740 Frodsham.
??? The result of this information being incorrect would change a huge amount of my tree starting with John Oakes siblings and working backwards through his "parents" and back another two generations to Samuel Oakes c1674 Cheshire wife unknown.
I just need all the help I can get, so anything would be apprieciated hope you can help, thank you.

Hi Chris, hope you can help - looking for several marriage dates. George Wakefield born 1749, died 1829,and Ann[aka Nancy] surname unknown born1742, died1844. They lived Kingsley/Newton area. Also William Banner and Eleanor Yewd or Youd, no specific dates, but around same time, possiblya little later, than Wakefield couple. One more - George Joinson[Joynson] born 1783 in Horton cum Peele?, died 1873 in Lower Whitley, and Nancy[aka Ann] surname unknown, born1785, died 1847, married before 1808 maybe. Thanks, Rosanna J.
-
Hi Rosanna J
Eleanor YEWD married Wm BANNER 22 Jan 1771 at Weaverham
I'm afraid that this is the only one I could find.
Jean
-
Thanks Jean, are there any family details in those early records? Rosanna J.
-
The information I have is only an index, but with that information you could try an email to Cheshire Records Office and ask for the details - for a small fee you can get a photocopy of the entry. The father's name isn't recorded on the early records, but witnesses are, and that could be a help.

Hi
I'm looking for a marriage between Thomas Nelson & Martha ? abt 1780 ish.
IGI has a submitted entry for a marriage of Thomas Nelson & Martha Bushell in 1779 at Backford but I wondered if there were any other possibles in the area. My 4xGgrandmother Lydia was baptised in Backford in 1792.
Many thanks

Hi Sandra,
The Cheshire Parish Register project has the Backford PR's online at this link:
http://www.csc.liv.ac.uk/~cprdb/
Thomas Nelson married Martha Bushell 30th June 1779 at Backford - you can see more information at the site above.
Jean
-
Hi Jean
Thanks for the link - great ;D. Now also found 2 sisters & 2 brothers for my Lydia & also death of her father [I think] to go with death of her mother in 1838 which I found yesterday. Stunning progress ;D
Cheers

Hi Rosanna,
The Bidston PR's are available here: http://www.csc.liv.ac.uk/~cprdb/
Marriage as follows:
Samuel MUMFORD to Jane LEDSOM 1 Feb 1814. Witnesses and Samuel's occupation are also shown.

Hi Rosanna,
Looking for a John Smith is a bit of a needle in a haystack but this is the closest I can see:
John SMITH married Sarah SUDLOW 20 Mar 1828 at Over.
Did the couple have any children after civil registration in 1837? If so, I think a birth certificate for one of the children would be a good idea so that you can confirm Sarah's maiden name.
Jean
-
Thanks Jean, some of censuses for Smiths were addresses in Over, so probably right Sarah.

Hello,
I don't know if anyone can help:
Can someone possibly see the Parish records for Barthomley
18th May 1788 - William Owen (Gt Gt Gt grandfather) baptism does it say who the parents are ?
hopefully John Owen and Sarah Walker
year 1749 long shot as no month or day John Owen baptism does it say who the parents are ?
and being very cheeky (if available...though more concerned with above)
marriages
------------
My gt gt gt grandfather William Owen born 1788, married Mary Dykes in Barthomley, Cheshire 30/12/1813. Can you posibly check to see if there are any parent names on the marriage register ?
My gt gt gt gt grandfather John Owen married Sarak Walker at Barthomley, Cheshire 23/10/1774. Can you possibly check to see if there are any parent names on the marriage register ?
Many many thanks,

Can someone please help with a marriage record for Robert Calveley (Calvely) born Storeton about 1805. Looked on the university Cheshire parish records site but cannot find it. Robert married Mary (born 1806 in Bromborough) about 1825.

Hi David,
The baptism for William Owen 18 May 1788 at Barthomley is on the IGI (www.familysearch.org) and gives the parents as John Owen and Sarah Walker
Although the baptism of John in 1749 is also on IGI there are no details. You might be better to post a separate topic to request a parish register lookup on the Lookup Request Board (as this one is for marriages! ;D
The marriage lookups on this board are usually done from an index so won't give any more information than you already have. You will be lucky to find parents names on the register, but you may find some useful information from the witnesses. As you have the exact marriage dates you might be better to email the Cheshire Records Office and ask them to supply you with the details - for a small fee they will send you a photocopy.
Hope this is some help,

Hi Jean and Sandra
Many thanks for that information - it has to be the right one as on all his children's birth records he is described as a shoemaker! Bingo! Been searching for that one for ages - really appreciate the help.
Wonder why they went to Liverpool - I'll have to find the old thread where it discussed people going to Liverpool to get married.
Many thanks, once again, to you both for your help.

PS Just checked the birth records for the children and their first child was born on the 26th November - so that's probably my answer!

Hi Jean
Wonder if you can help me find a marriage for my John ALLEN b abt 1798 at High Legh.
His wife was Mary born at Baguley about 1809. Their first child (Alice) as far as I can know was born in 1835 at Lostock Lancs.
They spent all their married life at Longford Tce in Stretford.
He died about 1874. I am guessing or assuming that as Mary was from Baguley that's where they married.
Heres hoping... ;D

Hi Jo,
The only one I can see that may fit is:
John ALLEN m Mary ASHTON 16 Feb 1824 at Cheadle which looks to be too early. Did they have any other children after 1837? If they did, I'd suggest purchasing a birth certificate so that you have Mary's maiden name.

Hi tsb,
The indexes only have marriages before civil registration began in 1837. If they married in Cheshire you should be able to find them at www.cheshirebmd.org.uk.
I've had a look and can't see anything obvious, do you know that they definitely married? I can see Matilda at home with the family in the 1841 census (HO107 92/3/4 Page 3) and in 1851 (HO107 2163/230 Page 22). Elizabeth is working nearby as a servant in 1841 (HO107 92/3/6 Page 7) and as a servant again in 1851 (HO107 2165/407 Page 37). I can't see either Matilda or Elizabeth in 1861, but can't find marriages for them either.
Is this any use? It's the MI for Luke and Elizabeth (parents of Elizabeth and Matilda) from Great Budworth St Mary:
Underneath lieth the remains of LUKE WINSTANLEY who departed this life 23 January 1863 aged 67 years Also ELIZABETH wife of the above who departed this life February 5 1872 aged 73 years Also the remains of MATTHEW WINSTANLEY son of LUKE and ELIZABETH WINSTANLEY of Great Budworth who departed this life September 29 1822 aged 1 year 7 months

Hi
I have a marriage of a Hannah WILLIAMSON (Widower) to a William GEE in Chester? in 1833 which I found on the Cheshire Parish Register Database. I am now trying to find Hannah's first marriage. My understanding is that she married a William WILLIAMSON but I'm not sure of Hannah's maiden name. I also believe that they may have originated from just over the boarder in Bretton. I know they had at least two children, Mary abt 1827 and Joseph abt 1829.
Can anyone help
Cheers

Hi Doggy,
There is this marriage which is a possibility:

Hello Chris,
Could you please look for the marriage of Jesse or James HOPLEY to Jane ROBINSON in the early 1830s. To the best of my knowledge their first child was born 1832 Weaverham, Cheshire. Jane's mother was Mary ROBINSON.

Oh, you are wonderful Jan, thanks so much for finding the HOPLEY & ROBINSON marriage.
Could you please tell me if there were any other HOPLEY or ROBINSON marriages around that time?? as I dont know who Jesse and Jane's siblings were. Also were there any other HOPLEY children born to Jesse and Jane??
Many thanks,

-
Hi Marg,
I can't see anything obvious, but there are hundreds of Robinson marriages as you can imagine. As they married by licence it could be that neither of them were from the parish. You could contact Cheshire Records Office by email and ask for the details of the marriage entry which might give useful witnesses, or see if you can get a copy of the marriage licence. You can order copies online via the website for a small fee.
I'd post a separate lookup for baptisms of the children - possibly at Weaverham as that is where the children seem to be born.
Hope this helps,
Jean

Dear all,
I'm not sure what information is available about marriages in the records that people have, so apologies in advance if I'm asking for something that's not possible!
I have a marriage between Samuel Edwards and Catherine Lewis (my 4xgreat grandparents) at Tarvin on 2 April 1818. There is a user submitted entry for this marriage on the IGI, and I've had a family bible transcript sent, so I'm pretty sure it's the right one for me.
I have two questions really. The first is, is it possible from the records that people have to see the names of Samuel and Catherine's parents' or at least father's names?
Secondly, if it is, would it also be possible to see Ann Edwards - married Thomas Peacock at Tarvin either Jan or Jun 1807 and Elizabeth Edwards who married John Cawley at Tarvin on 5 January 1790.
This would all help in tying people into - or not - a set of Edwards' wills I have.
Sorry this is so long, and thanks in advance for any help anyone can give.
Best wishes

Hi Andy,
The sources of information are indexes so don't contain much more than you can see on the IGI although there is occasionally more information. It is unlikely that the parents names will be given but there may be witnesses that would help - the marriage may also be by licence so you may get further information from that. Anyway, some information I have found:
Ann EDWARDS m Thomas PEACOCK 18 Jun 1807 Tarvin St Andrew by licence
Neither of the other marriages appear on the index - it is by no means complete.
It might be worth sending off to Cheshire Records office for copies of the parish entries as you have the dates - you can order copies online for a small fee. The witnesses may help you to piece the information together.

You don't possibly have records of this marriage of a paternal ancestor of mine, do you?(You didn't say 19th century, I know.)
Samuel Pemberton m. Elizabeth Beresford, Mar. 20th 1811. Bunbury.

Hi Chris.
Do you have any info. on this marriage, possibly at St. Mary`s Halton
Jonathan Bate and Elizabeth Gross around 1778

Hi berton and welcome to rootschat.
The marriage of Samuel PEMBERTON and Elizabeth BERESFORD is on the index, but there is only the information that you already have, that they married 20 Mar 1811 at Bunbury St Boniface. As you have the exact date you could email Cheshire Records office and ask for the details of the parish register entry, or get a photocopy for a small fee - you can order online on their website.
Hope this helps,
Jean

Hi Cyndy,
I can't see that marriage, but there is this:
Jonathan BATE m Betty CROFT, sp, 31 Dec 1778 at Runcorn
Hope this is of some help,
Jean

Thanks Jean, That`s interesting because I have the 31st December down for my Jonathan Bate marriage but somewhere along the way the name Elizabeth Gross has cropped up.
Cyndy
-
Jean, I`ve just had a thought. Elizabeth and Betty could be the same person and Gross and Croft are very similar surnames too!!

Hi there!
Would you be kind enough please to look for a marriage between
JAMES DALE and MARY MOORE around the 1820s, possibly in the Bowdon/Atrincham area, or maybe Warfield.

Hi Allan,
I have checked the indexes for either of these marriages but no luck. The Backford parish registers are online at http://www.csc.liv.ac.uk/~cprdb/ - there is no marriage for Daniel OAKES there - do you know where his wife was from as they may have married in her home parish.

Hi Judy,
Nothing obvious, but:
Joseph MOORE, Carpenter m Anne FAULKNER, sp, 29 Sep 1768 Bowden
Anne and Hannah can sometimes be interchangeable, but I think it's a bit late for your marriage.

Hi Jean! That's fantastic! I know my Joseph was a carpenter, and I was only roughly estimating the dates, so I think it is probably them!

In that case, these might be of interest as well:

Hi Chris (or any other kind looker-up),
I'm looking for a marriage in Cheshire around 1833 of George WESTON and Elizabeth COLLIER. Elizabeth's parents lived in the city of Chester and had all her younger siblings baptised at St John's Church there over several years up to 1832. But as far as I know all Elizabeth's children by George were born in London. (So I'm not too confident about the Cheshire location.)
I know your original post said 17th & 18th Century dates, but you've supplied 19th Century dates elsewhere, so I hope you can help me. Even a negative result would encourage me in my trawls through London registers.
Thanks in advance,
Stovepipe

Thanks Jean for the very speedy reply,

John PORTER born 1776 in Bradwell, Cheshire.
Wife's name shown as Ellen against children's birth. No place or date of birth.
First child born 1799 in Moore, Cheshire.
So marriage is POSSIBLY in the Moore, Walton, Daresbury areas. Could be Bradwell?
Please if you have any possibilities it would be a great help to me!

Hi Richard and welcome to Rootschat. :)
The resources used for the lookups on here are indexes so there often isn't any more information than you already have. I can confirm that the marriage is on the index and that the date you have is the same as the one on the index and that it took place at Wilmslow. With the information you have you could order a copy of the parish register entry from Cheshire Record Office - they charge £1.00 per copy plus postage and are quoting a 15 day turnaround at the moment - they have an online ordering facility.
Hope this helps,
Jean

Could you please look up the marriage of John Roberts to Margaret. He was a blacksmith in Willaston.
The first baptism record I 've found for a child of John and Margaret is in 1804 so I suppose they would have been married a little while before that.
I have found a marriage on the IGI for a John Roberts and Margaret Smith in 1813 but it seems a bit late, although they did have triplets in 1817.
Thanks in advance for any info.

Hi French,
DAVN = Davenham
LEFT = Leftwich
If you go to "P" for parish in the glossary it gives you all the parishes
If you go to "R" for residence in the glossary it gives you all the other placename abbreviations.
There is a marriage for a William MADDOCK to Mary BURROWS/BURROUGHS 18 Feb 1740 at Davenham which might be a match - also from the CPRdb site.

Continuing with the family in my previous post, I am at a loss to find the marriage of Alice Wilson and William Dawson between 1861 and 1871.
In the 1861 census Alice was the servant of William, living in Leftwich, but by 1871 she was his wife. At least she was claiming to be his wife. However I can't find the marriage.
If anyone could find the marriage it would be a breakthrough as it has become a bit of a wall for a few years now.

He died in 1661 in Cheshire and Mary went on to marry John Hockenhull, also of Tarvin, on 11 Sept 1669 at Crowhurst, Surrey. Mary and John Hardware had a son, Henry, born 1661 (he was 3 month when his father died).
Can you find a marriage for this Henry, or for any other children Mary may have had with John Hockenhull?
Also any chance of identifying the parents of both John's? ;)

Hi James,
I can't see a marriage for Henry on the index (not complete though) but there is this:
Katherine HARDWARE m Matthew HENERYS 19 Jul 1687 at Tarvin. There is a note in the comment to say she was "Mrs" so possibly a widow.
The second marriage of Mary to John HOCKENHULL must be in the Tarvin parish register as well as it appears on the index with the same date. According to your dates Mary would have been 47 at the time of her second marriage so it is probably unlikely that there were any more children.
Jean

Thanks Jean for your help.
I know a lot of Tarvin Parish records were lost in a fire in the village in the 1600's and I suspect I won't be able to link all the information I have on the Hardwares. But I will certainly follow up on Katherine Hardware, you never know.... it could be a cousin of Henry.
Great site. :)

Hello Jean
I don't know if you can help me as I don't have much information.
John WRIGHT married a Hannah (unknown) would have been 1815-1819 in Lymm, Cheshire.
ALSO
Joseph JACKSON married Mary (unknown) circa 1822/3 first child born 1824. High Legh, Cheshire definately spelt HIGH LEGH and not Leigh.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Joan,
Nothing for John WRIGHT and Hannah in the right timescale - the parish records for Lymm are online here at http://www.csc.liv.ac.uk/~cprdb/
Closest I can find:
Jos. JACKSON m Mary WILLIAMSON 27 Dec 1814 Rostherne
Jos. JACKSON m Mary PERCIVAL 18 Dec 1820 Cheadle

Hi I have just discovered this site am I right in thinking someone out there can look up a marraige for me? If so any chance of finding one for Kate Reynolds also previously known as Roberts to Alf Williams probably in Eastham Parish Church somewhere between 1881 and 1886. Family history tells us that Kate's birth surname was Roberts and she is registered as such on the 1871 Census but she married someone with the surname Reynolds who turned out to be a bigamist so the marraige was void. However on the 1881 Census she is listed as Reynolds and as a widow. The children's birth certificates show Roberts and Reynolds both as previous names. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Fidgit have sent pm as well just in case.

Hi,
I am wanting to discover what happened to the family of Thomas and Martha Dean of Bollington, whose children were Nancy born 1790, James born 1792, William born 1794, Mary born 1796, Betty born 1798, and Thomas born 1801. They were all born in Bollington and baptized at Pott Shrigley Chapelry.
I am wondering whether any of the above names might appear on the indexes as being married at Prestbury St Peter between about 1810 to registration in 1837.
If this is too big an ask I will understand - but I would appreciate any input. Thank you.

Hi Fidgit and welcome to Rootschat,
The marriage that Dee posted is also on www.lancashirebmd.org.uk giving the Church:
Kate REYNOLDS m Alfred WILLIAMS 1884 Our Lady & St Nicholas & St Anne
I'd suggest that you post on the Lancashire board if you want any more information on the marriage and I'm sure someone will be able to help you.

Hi rosndel,
There are pages of DEAN marriages and it isn't possible for me to search by parish. Why don't you see if any of the males can be found individually on the 1851 census as a starting point - just post on the main lookup board.

Dear Peter,
I just found your reply to Godfrey about the marriage of George Peake and Mary Newton in Astbury December 1822. Does it specifically give her maiden name as Newton???
You mention that it was in the Bertram Merril index of marriages. What is that??? Tell me how I can use that as a source for the marriage???
I would appreciate any info you can give me. I am new to rootschat so I am just trying to find my way around.

Hi Jean,
Thanks for your reply to my Dean request. I have access to the 1851 census without any joy in finding my names. None of them admit to being born in Bollington anyway.
I have a copy of Bertram Merrill and Phillimore, but is there some other CD I could buy that would enable me to search for marriages in Prestbury Parish? Thank you for your time.

Hi Alane and a warm welcome to Rootschat,
There are a couple of indexes to marriages for the Cheshire area that have been published on CD by the Cheshire Family History Society. They are an index only so don't give the full details of the parish register entry but do give the date and the church so that you know where to look. None of them are complete, coverage of some parishes is better than others so it very much depends where your research is. The entry you are looking at has:
George PEAK, bricklayer m Mary NEWTON p. Sw 23 Dec 1822 Astbury.
I don't know what p. Sw means after Mary's name, p is probably for parish indicating that she wasn't from Astbury.
You could contact Cheshire Records Office for the details of the entry, or order a photocopy for a small fee, their website is: http://www.cheshire.gov.uk/recoff/home.htm

Hi Jean,
Thank you so much for responding to my post. I appreciate knowing about the indexes to marriages for the Cheshire area. I have lots of family that come from Cheshire so that will be a great help. I think the "p. Sw" meant that she was from Swettenham.
You have been a great help thank you so much!!

Hi Arkay,
The entry on the index doesn't contain any more information. The parish register will contain witnesses at the very least, although they may not be related. If you contact Cheshire Records Office (website: http://www.cheshire.gov.uk/recoff/home.htm) they would be able to provide a copy of the parish register entry for a small fee, and you can order online.

Hi Rosndel,
There is another CD available from Cheshire FHS which is the NECMI (North & East Cheshire Marriage Index). The coverage of marriages for Prestbury is complete from 1754 to 1837. However, try here: http://www.rootschat.com/links/02s4/ - the lds have digitised some Cheshire parish records and Prestbury is amongst them but I don't know what dates are covered.

I am trying to find the marriage of William Small. Unfortunately I don't have any name at all for his wife, but his known children were Mary Sophia Small (1834-1896), Eliza Small (1848-?), Elizabeth Small (1842-?)and Martha Louisa Small (1844-?) Sophia figures as a middle name a few times in the family, so maybe there is a clue in those names as this family seemed to stick to the name the kids after the parents etc like most other families!
The family is associated with the Cheadle area of Cheshire.
Many thanks

Hi, I have son John on 51 as a servant, HO107 piece 2161 Folio 435 p8 on 61 he is with his family again, with his widowed mother Mary Trelfa and 2 sisters, states she, Mary,was born in Bickerton, c1804/ RG9 4279 125 p9. So by now Samuel had died. Does this help?
-
Hi Jean,
Re. William Houlding & Elizabeth - there's interesting.
Elizabeth died in 1806 so it is quite possible that William married again in 1807.
William died in 1826 and is buried at Betley with first wife Elizabeth.
Thanks for that - I will need to keep searching for William and Elizabeth's marriage. Also now need to find 2nd wife Sarah.

Elizabeth ? born c. 1806
Pietro's name was often misspelt so if you could also look for alternatives such as:
Peter

Bordeffa

I've checked the indexes for both marriages but nothing showing I'm afraid. I've also had a good look at the census to see if I could see Samuel and Mary Threlfall in 1851 but no luck with that either - checked under Trelfa as well. I'd suggest that you post on the main lookup board for an 1851 lookup for Samuel and Mary - more people look there so we've a better chance of them being found.

Hi Nina and a warm welcome to Rootschat,
I've checked the indexes for Pietro's marriage, but there is nothing close to Bordessa as a surname. Most of the indexes cover Anglican churches only, perhaps they were Catholic or non Conformist.
However, there is a marriage on www.cheshirebmd.org.uk:
William J BORDESSA m Jane TAYLOR Chester Civil Marriage 1849
And:
Mariea M BORDESSA m John R O'HAGAN Chester Civil Marriage 1858
You would need to send for the certificates to get the details either by post from the Local Register Office via the above site, or from the GRO using the reference from www.freebmd.org.uk (Mar 1849 Gt Boughton 19 69)
Hope this helps,

Hi belinda,
This thread is for marriages pre 1837 as the others can often be found on the indexes:
Local Registrar index for Cheshire: www.cheshirebmd.org.uk
General index (UK wide) www.freebmd.org.uk
Neither are 100% complete, but they are pretty close.
Michael HORAN married Ann COLLINS 1866 Stockport Civil Marriage - from www.cheshirebmd.org.uk
However I can't see a marriage for your gt grandfather. To get more information you would need to send for the certificate - you can use the form to apply by post on the local site or apply online using the information from www.freebmd.org.uk.
Hope this is of some help,

Hi,
I'm not sure if my couple got married in Cheshire but as Kate is from Frodsham it's worth a try please.

Kate ??? born abt 1821 in Frodsham
married
John Hall 1813 - 1868, he was from Dewsbury
their eldest child was born in 1845 so I guess they would have married around 1844.
Any ideas gratefully received!!

Hi Carol,
As they married after Civil Registration you can have a look on www.cheshirebmd.org.uk (local index) or www.freebmd.org.uk (general index). I can't see anything on Cheshire, but there are 18 marriages of a John HALL where there is also a Catherine on the same page. I think your best course of action would be to send off for the birth certificate of one of the children so that you can be sure of Kate/Catherine's maiden name.
Hope this helps,
Jean

May I request one more look up please?
Catherine PRICE married James NEWTON on 31st December 1809 in the Parish of Wynbunbury, Cheshire. I think Catherine's father was Richard PRICE.
Could you possibly check to see if there is any more information shown?
Thanking you in advance
Joan
Hi Joan,
A full transcription of the Wybunbury parish records is available here:
http://www.csc.liv.ac.uk/~cprdb/
This will have everything that you can see on the original.
The groom was from Barthomley, both signed with an X, the marriage was by banns and cert (I don't know what the certificate would be needed for, it's probably worth a question on the Common Room board). Witnesses were John Tomkinson and John Hayes. If you do a couple of searches of common names and check the same period you will probably be able to work out if the witnesses were family or worked for the parish (parish clerk etc).
Hope this helps,
Jean

Hi Jean

Hello Chris in 1066land
Does your marriage source have marriages for four of my OSBALDISTON ancestors. This name variously appears as OSBERSON, OSBORNSON, OSBERESON, ETC., have you a Robert marrying a Margaret circa 1735, RAPHE marrying Margaret circa 1729, Thomas marrying an Anna circa 1773 and Raphe marrying Mary circa 1798 please?
Many thanks

Hi Butlerclan,
I can't see anything under any of the possible spellings, do you know where in Cheshire they might have married?

Hi Chris
Would be grateful if you could look up a Joseph Worrall for me. Unfortunately that is all I have, other then his son Peter Worrall was born about 1819-23c in Kingsley, Cheshire. So my Joseph is probably from that area also.
Grateful for anything you can provide

I was wondering if you would also do a look up for me please?
Thomas Mellor married Mary Ashley 20/4/1770 St Michael, Middlewich, Cheshire.
I don't know if any more information is recorded on the records, but hoping that there might be :)
thanks very much,

Hi Sigrid,
There are a couple of indexes to marriages for the Cheshire area that have been published on CD by the Cheshire Family History Society. They are an index only so don't give the full details of the parish register entry but do give the date and the church so that you know where to look and sometimes a little more information than IGI. The info for the marriage your are looking for shows:
Thos MELLOR, Husbmn P. Cop m Mary ASHLEY Sp. 30 Apr 1770 at Middlewich.
I suspect that Thomas was from another parish (maybe Coppenhall?).
You could contact Cheshire Records Office for the details of the entry, or order a photocopy for a small fee, their website is: http://www.cheshire.gov.uk/recoff/home.htm

Hi Chris
Do you have any information on the marriage of Aaron Broadbent and Lucy Linney? I believe this marriage would have been in the mid 1820's, the first child I am aware of was baptised in Mottram in Longdendale 23/5/1827, and there were at least 7 other children, all baptised in the same place. Both Aaron and Lucy were also baptised in Mottram in Longdendale in 1803 and 1806 respectively.
Any info would be much appreciated.
Anne

Hi Chris
Please will you see if there is a marriage for a Richard Whittaker to a Susannah (first child probably born around 1812) and also one for a Richard Whittaker to an Elizabeth Moors (first child born around 1831). I did find one on Familysearch.org for an Edmund Whittaker to an Elizabeth Moors, at Manchester Cathedral. That was interesting as the name Edmund seems to crop up in the family.

Chris I have very little information for you but just might luck out.
On August 22, 1858 Ahasuerus Kirkpatrick married Mary Bamforth at St. John's Church in the parish of Stockport. His father was Henry Kirkpatrick (miner) and her father was Joseph Bamforth (weaver). Do you have a marriage on either father that I may find their spouses names?

I would love a bit of help on a probable Cheshire marriage before 1804. John Roberts' marriage to Fanny. Fanny was born in Neston, Cheshire, as were at least 2 of their eldest children (William being the eldest known child born 1803/04 in Neston). They later moved to Tarbock, Lancs where their younger children were born.
I'd very much appreciate any help with this, as I can't locate St Mary's records online.

Hi, can I have another lookup please ???
Thanks to your help, I have a possible further generation re my last post. From IGI I have a bapt of Eliz. Wakefield, 1721, Astbury. Parents JOANNIS (John ???) Wakefield and Elizabeth. No other children on IGI, but could you have a quick look for a marriage between Joannis/John Wakefield and Elizabeth, c1718?
Much appreciated!

Further to my last post I have found this:
John ROBERTS m Frances HOPLEY 1798 Plemstall St Peter - sorry, for some reason the full date isn't on the index, but hope it is of some help,
Jean
-
Thanks so much for that, Jean... as you probably discovered, there is no record of John & Frances marrying in Neston, so this 1798 marriage looks like a good avenue to follow up on.
Impy
-
Just doing a little more searching on that, and found that John Roberts & Frances Hopley baptised 4 children in Liverpool between 1802 & 1811 (and possibly later, but no maiden name listed on others). As I have Neston listed as the birthplace of 4 children of my couple in 1804, 1809, 1812 & 1815 (the last being listed in the church records, the others from census returns), it seems unlikely that mine are from the Roberts/Hopley marriage.

Thanks very much, Jean, I appreciate you looking for me. I got lucky with the first record you found, so pleased with that. :)

good morning jean...could you check 2 records for me please....the first is the spelling of the marriage in Neston abt 1763 of the brides surname..Edward Standish to Mary Frances or Francis...the second is the marriage of Marys parents in about 1738( i think in neston) of Thomas Frances/Francis to Ann ?thanks very much for your time...Allan :)

Hi Allan,
Sorry, but neither marriage is on the index. If you check the Neston PR's on http://www.csc.liv.ac.uk/~cprdb/ the Edward Standish marriage is there. As both the BT's and the PR's are transcribed you could check one against the other. But best to send off to Cheshire Records Office for a photocpy of the PR entry which you can order online for a small fee.

Hello!
I'm looking for details of the marriage between Thomas CLARE (b. c1795 in Hale, Cheshire) and Mary ? (b.1784 in Bowden, Cheshire).
Their first (to my knowledge!) child, Peter CLARE, was born in 1813, so I would imagine that the marriage took place prior to this time.
They lived in the Mere area.
I don't know if this is enough for you to go on - I'm aware it's limited - but I'll keep my fingers crossed anyway.
Many thanks!

Hi,
I am trying to trace any details of a marriage between William Weatherby and Hannah (unknown) some time around 1800-1806
Here is how I got here:
IGI Batches J130732/K130732 has these children of William & Hannah, in Marton, Cheshire:
ANN WEATHERBY Christening: 13 APR 1806
SALLY WEATHERBY Christening: 07 FEB 1808
JAMES WEATHERBY Christening: 04 FEB 1810
JOHN WEATHERBY Christening: 26 JUN 1814
PETER WEATHERBY Christening: 09 JUN 1816
JOSEPH WEATHERBY Christening: 03 MAY 1818
DANIEL WEATHERBY Christening: 26 MAR 1820
THOMAS WEATHERBY Christening: 13 JAN 1822
CHARLES WEATHERBY Christening: 27 FEB 1825
SUSANNA WEATHEBY Christening: 17 JUL 1827
and for some reason in Batch: C076951 for Withington, Cheshire:
WILLIAM WEATHERBY Christening: 7 JUL 1812
CheshireBMD has deaths for William & Hannah as follows:
William: 1863 Age: 79
Sub-District: Gawsworth
Registers At: Cheshire East
Reference: GAW/4/10
So his year of birth would be 1783/4
Hannah: 1847 Age: 63
Sub-District: Gawsworth
Registers at: Cheshire East
Reference: GAW/2/18
So her year of birth would be 1783/4
Hannah Weatherby's death is also on FreeBMD:
Q1 1847 Macclesfield XIX 109
The only marriage I can find in the IGI is third hand at best as it is in batch 8732832
WILLIAM WEATHERBY Spouse: HANNAH DAVENPORT
Marriage: 16 APR 1805 Prestbury, Cheshire, England
But a descendant of William (1812) in Australia has his mother's name from his death certificate as HANNAH CLIFTON
There is a Hannah Clifton in IGI Batch P001031 Christened 26 OCT 1787 Wybunbury, Cheshire, but that doesn't fit with her recorded age at time of death.
If Hannah was born 1783/4 I suppose it is possible that Hannah was married twice but I don't have any trace.
Any help identifying Hannah's maiden name greatly appreciated,
Ian

Hi Ian,
I think that the marriage you have found on IGI is the best match, it also appears on my index:
Wm WEATHERBY, Husbandman, Lower Withington m Hannah DAVENPORT, Lower Withington 16 Apr 1805 at Prestbury
There is also this:
Susanna WEATHERBY, sp, Lower Withington m Peter DAVENPORT, cordwainer, of Marton 27 Nov 1815 at Prestbury
Just in case they are connected....

Jean,
Thanks so much for the look up, it's an independent confirmation of the IGI which helps. Thanks for Susanna too, it seems to be a family name so well worth investigating.

Hi Jean,
Could you possibly have a look for a marriage between a Thomas Mollard and Mary? I’m guessing it will be 1795-1805 and should be Wilmslow. I’m also trying to find the marriage of John Mollard at roughly the same time and same place.
Thank you in advance,

Hi, I am looking for a Samuel Oldham born abt 1808 married to a Nancy born abt 1809 Stockport Cheshire, married about 1829/1830, can you help me please.
The only marriage I can see which may fit is Sam OLDHAM m Ann SHAW 27 Aug 1822 at Mottram in Longdendale - but it looks as if this is too early (and in the wrong place!)
Others:
Samuel OLDHAM (bankman at coalpit) m Esther BRADLEY 6 Oct 1822 at Stockport
Samuel OLDHAM wdwr m Ann WRIGLEY (wdw) 18 Jan 1835 at Stockport
Ann and Nancy can be interchangeable. Could he have been married before, what was Samuel's occupation, or were any of the children born after 1837?
Jean
-
Hi,
Thanks for looking, I think Samuel was a weaver,but his wife Nancy died 1849 only 43 yrs old, he did remarry in 1850 to a Mary Ann Renshaw, but I think Nancy was his first wife, I have found them on the 1841 census, but thanks again for looking.

Hi Jeremy
There is a marriage on cheshirebmd site for 1844 at St Elphin's, Warrington:
Charles Fogell to Ann Buxton
Warrington was in Lancashire at the time of the marriage, although now in Cheshire ;D
Sadly, the transcriptions of St Elphin's records on lan-opc have not yet reached 1844.

Many thanks
I will order the certificate and see if it matches what i suspect that George Fogill Fogell is his father a glass cutter from Sheffield

Hi,

Hi Chris I am hoping that you can look up a marriage for me.
I am looking for the marriage of Henry Brindley to Elizabeth Hall in the late 1700'sto early 1800's. Their child Henry is my great Grandfather and as I live in Australia it is difficult to research from here.

Hi
I am looking for marriage of Isaac Toft and Mary ? Isaac was born 1750 and Mary 1760. If there is an Isaac younger than this could you give details for him also as the 1750 Isaac seems old to be the father mentioned on the marriage certificate I have.
Thanks

Hi Chris I am hoping that you can look up a marriage for me.
I am looking for the marriage of Henry Brindley to Elizabeth Hall in the late 1700'sto early 1800's. Their child Henry is my great Grandfather and as I live in Australia it is difficult to research from here.
Henry was born nr 1819 , this is the date on his military records so am not sure how accurate the date is. Any information would be gratefully received kind regards Phyllys Donald.
Hi Phyllys,
Sorry, I had missed your message.
Unfortunately I have checked the index and there is nothing listed on the Cheshire indexes I have.
Sorry I can't be of more help,

Hello Barbara,
The information on marriages that I use comes from indexes - I have checked and it confirms your information but doesn't give anything extra. Parents name weren't (normally) given prior to civil registration, but the witnesses might give you a clue. As you have the exact date I would email Cheshire Records Office and they may give you the information. Alternatively, go to their website - you can order a photocopy of the parish register entry for a small fee online.

Hi Jean
Thank you very much for your reply on the Dales, both look promising, its more than I had before, many thanks.

Thanks so much Jean, you've been a great help, I wasn't sure what to do with the information either, but now I do!

Could you please lookup the marriage of:
James Latham born 1804 in Dorrington-Shropshire-Irelands Cross
to
Jane ? born 1803 in Ansley-Staffordshire
probably before the birth of their first child in 1831
Many Thanks !

Hi Jean,
Sorry, I have one more now!
Edward and Sarah Norbury in Cheshire somewhere! Probably Blakenhall, Wybunbury parish but I can't find it on the online site, and as I can't find a baptism for Sarah there, maybe they were married from wherever she was born?
Edward and Sarah's first child was 1796, so I'm assuming they were married about 1795?
Do estimated birth dates help in your search?
Thanks so much,

Hi Chris,
I'm relatively new to RootsChat and have found it very interesting and informative. Just resurrected my Genealogy research. I have drawn a blank on my research in Cheshire and need to view specific Parish Records to go further back. I'm looking for Beresford in Betchton & Church Lawton, Cheshire. Richard Beresford marriage to Elizabeth??. Their first child was b. before 1750 Betchton area. All BDM in both Parishes is my task, any help from yourself would be very much appreciated. I have Richard, Anne, James and William as offspring.
Best regards from Oz

Hi - I'm searching for information (Birth, marriage and death) possibly in Runcorn or Great Budworth parish of a Mary Dickens and Thomas Dutton ( really uncommon name.;..) Mary Dickens is quite easy as she survived into the 1890s, but I am unable to trace which Thomas Dutton she married, or where he came from. Mary came from Little Leigh and there is an IGI record that could be her, born around 1809. The marriage to Thomas probably took place around 1830 because on the 1841 census, Mary was a widow with two children - William aged 10 and Elizabeth aged about 6. (The children's names could also be clues to the parentage of Thomas Dutton) They were living in Runcorn and continued to do so for many years, which makes Runcorn the The most likely location for his death . However, I suspect they may have migrated there following a marriage in Great Budworth parish. I would be very grateful if someone could check the relevant records. Thanks a lot, Lala

Hi Jean,
You very kindly found a couple of marriages for me for THOMAS DALE to ANN from the CONGLETON area.
I think I must have been in "rooky" mode. I hadnt realised that I had a birth that was in 1838 that could tell be ANNs surname!!! Well, I got the cert and dont know if it is any help to my original request but the name appears to be GALLIENNE. Not a name I have come across before. Also on the 1841 census they lived on spragg street, Astbury. On the IGI I found the possibLe christening for their first child, JOHN of 1826 in MARTON BY CONGLETON.
Would any of this further my quest to find the marriage of THOMAS and ANN DALE.
I cant believe I didnt check the obvious things first. I would be very grateful if you could check the indexes again for me and appologies for wasting your time last time!!!

Hello Lala, and welcome to Rootschat.
I have checked the available indexes for you but can't see the marriage. I have checked DICKEN, DICKENS, DICKIN and DICKINS. However I have located the baptism you are looking for at:
http://search.labs.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html?datestamp=1202934839187#p=0
If you search under Cheshire Baptisms and put in Mary DICKENS you can download an image of the parish register entry for Little Leigh. She was born 14th January 1809 and baptised 12th Feb 1809.
Hope that this helps you with your quest.

Hi Jacqui,
I can't see anything obvious - I may have posted last time but there is this marriage:
Thomas DALE, Husbm, m Ann JOLLEY 22 Jun 1819 at Astbury. If the surname is difficult to decipher it might be worth posting part of the image in the common room to see if anyone can help.

Hi Jean
Thanks for taking the trouble to look again for me. The latter half of the name is difficult to decipher but the first part is definitely GALLI*. Thanks for the suggestion.

It could be GALLIMORE - I have come across the name in Cheshire but there was nothing close to this on the indexes. I still think it is a good idea to post a sample from the certificate.

Thanks for looking for that name for me I would have felt cheeky asking again!

Thanks Jean.... you're a star!! ;D
I have another couple - up the tree - if its not too much trouble??
There were three generations of Thomas's so I wonder if you could check out the following:
Thomas Ollier (b 1763 Whitegate) m Lidia Siddal (1764 Middlewich) they had young Thomas in c1783 - so would guess they married around 1782?
Then older Thomas Ollier (c.1741 whitegate?) m Mary Cawley (c1744 cheshire?) as their son Thomas was born around 1763 - I guess they must of married around this time.
Do the records show fathers?? or where they lived?? If so, it would be great to find out a little more??
This is as far back as I've got..... so just wondering if there is any sign of any more Olliers??
Thanks again

Hello Chris,
Hoping you can help with the marriage of 3xGt grandparents James Sefton b: Staffordshire about 1787 and Lydia (sorry no maiden name) b: Chapel-en-le-Frith about same year.
Shown on 1841 census as living in Stockport with 2 daughters, Mary aged 15 and Emily, 19 with son-in-law James Goodwin. Know there was a brother born about 1816, all in Cheshire, so am thinking marriage may have also been in Cheshire. Hope you can help.

John Ollier (born c. 1720) m Elizabeth ? (born c 1721)
Their son Thomas was born in Whitegate in 1741 - so I guess their marriage would be around 1740?
Thomas Siddall (born c 1744) m Elizabeth ? (b c1744)
Their daughter Lidia was born in 1764 in Middlewich - so I guess their marriage would be around 1763?

Hi Chris
I was fascinated by this thread tells me much about Middlewich. Could you tell me if you have a record of Thomas Benbow marrying Hannah Faram on the 21st December 1826 at St Michaels and all angels. I am interested to know the name of Thomas Father.
It doesn't seem to have been a long marriage as there is no mention of Hannah in the 1841 census
Congratulations on the assitance you have been giving people

Hello Seabee443 and welcome to Rootschat,
The information on this thread is taken from indexes of the marriages, so there isn't any information on witnesses etc - the father's name would not appear on the parish register entry unless he was a witness (and then it wouldn't tell you if he was the father!)
Just for information, the entry is this:
Thos BENBOW m Ann FARAM 21 Dec 1826 Middlewich (Ann and Hannah can be interchangeable).
You could order a copy of the register entry from Cheshire Records Office for a small fee - they have an online ordering facility.
Hope this helps,
Jean

Thank you for the Welcome Jean,
I will follow up the register entry, from the 1841 census he was in 1805 just outside Middlewich, there appears to be a number of Benbows working as shoe makers in the town but how they are all related I have yet to discover.
thank you again for your help

Hi,
I was wondering if it might be possible for you to look up some Cheshire marriages for me please? I hope the information I have is not too vague.
Samuel Kynaston (also spelled Kiniston/Kinison) and Margaret Rigby married around 1780/1790 in Davenham or Chester
Jonathan Kynaston and Mary? married before 1831 in Chester
James Kynaston and Ellen/Ellinor/Elizabeth ? married around 1750 in Chester
John Blackburn and ? married before 1799 in Chester
John Shone and Ann? married before 1813 in Chester
Any information you can find would be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards, Charlotte

Samuel KINNISON, bach, 26 m Marg. READ, Sp 23, 12 Dec 1791 at Witton
John KYNNASTON m Mary DAWES 21 Feb 1825 at Chester St John - see http://www.csc.liv.ac.uk/~cprdb/ for details
Nothing for James Kynaston or John Blackburn
John SHONE m Ann RUSCOE 27 Dec 1814 at Chester St Mary - see site given above for details.

Hi Jean
Me again ;D
Do your records cover Mottram? Ashton under lyne district??
If so can you look up a marriage for me??
Joseph Bailey (Bailay) m. Hannah Leech
in Mottram/ Ashton Under Lyne Dec. Q 1873
8d 929.
I'll keep my fingers crossed that area is in your records!!
Thanks again.
Tracy

Hi Tracy,
I don't know about Mottram, but the records are for the time before civil registration began (i.e. pre 1837).
Once the marriage is found in the civil registration index you're out of luck I'm afraid.

Have another request, Jean?
If your records cover Stalybridge area of Cheshire??
A Benjamin Hague c. 1803 m Elizabeth(Betty) ? c. 1803
They lived in Stalybridge and were born Stalybridge, so am assuming they married there.
Their first child (that I can trace) was born in 1825..... so am assuming they married around 1823-24??
Is there anything listed?
Many Thanks in advance

Hi Tracy,
Stovepipe is correct that the indexes only go up to 1837 pre civil registration. However the marriage is also at www.cheshirebmd.org.uk which gives the church as Godley St John, so easier if you want to request a separate lookup.

It might be worth reminding people that the FamilySearch Labs (http://labs.familysearch.org/) site has an index of Cheshire marriages from 1538 to 1907. It's far from comprehensive, and I wouldn't trust its indexing as much as that in W.P.W Phillimore's Cheshire Parish Record Transcripts - so this thread still is valuable. But the other place might be worth a look, especially for marriages after 1837.
One big advantage of the Labs site, though, if you are lucky enough to find a marriage there then you can look at an image of the actual parish register.
It's got Cheshire baptisms and burials too (same date range). Again, there is far from comprehensive coverage. (At least I've never found any of my Cheshire ancestors in the registers on that site despite finding them at the CPR database (http://www.csc.liv.ac.uk/~cprdb/) site.)

Hi Chris, Would appreciate your help on locating the marriage of William Beresford (b.abt 1776, d.1858). marriage to Mary Ann? around 1795 to 1798. They were both from Church Lawton, Cheshire and I believe they were married there too. They had 11 children. I have no record of their marriage but would assume Church Lawton. Note: His son was a William who also married a Mary! Thanks in anticipation.

Hello Nigel,
I can't see an obvious marriage - I've checked BERESFORD, BERISFORD, BERRESFORD & BERRISFORD - this is the closest:
Wm BERRISFORD, Miller m Mary BATE, sp 13 Jul 1797 at Astbury
Jean
-
Hi Jean,
Thanks for the look up on the William Beresford marriage. Looks like the missing link to me as I have him as a Miller from 1798-1817 in my files! The first born was 1798 which probably makes it conclusive. The Mary Bate was probably a local in Astbury which is relatively close. The name as you note has several variations. Thanks for you help.

Hi Jayson,
I'm sorry, there is no reference to Hugh Wade on my indexes. In fact the only reference I can find is on Pallot's marriage index for Hugh Wade and Isabella Brummage at Bloomsbury St George in 1815 - no other information given. You must have some of the most elusive family lines in Cheshire! ???

Hi,
I'm new here so please be kind!!!!!!!!
I am trying to trace most of my family but the main one so far is Washington, they were all from Odd Rode, Mow Cop, but their births/marriages, etc were registered at Congleton, Cheshire.
So my request is this please:-
I have found George Washington born 1808 and died in 1886 his wife was Fanny but I don't know her maiden name, (could you please find that one?), I think his father was Thomas Washington born 1786 who was a Butcher but I could be very mistaken as I thought my family were all coal miners.
Thank you so very much and look forward to hearing from you.

Hi Jean,
Many thanks for that. But I'm not sure if it's what I'm looking for!
I have been to my local library today and only just found out that if I go there I can have free access to Ancestry so am going to try that out either tomorrow or Wednesday; I need to get the birth certificate for George Washington (born 1808 and died 1886) really to find out more.
George Washington married Fanny ? so that George is not mine. Shame!
Oh well, onwards and upwards, as they say!
Thanks again and I'll let you know how I get on and thanks for the warm welcome too!

Hi Jackie,
Francis and Fanny are interchangeable so it could be your George. There are no birth certificates before civil registration began on 1st July 1837 so you will need to find his baptism in the parish records. Have you found him on the census yet? If not, I'd suggest you post on the Cheshire Lookup Request Board and we will try to help. His birth place should indicate the most likely churches for his baptism.
Jean
-
Hi Jean,
You are a star!
I had no idea Fanny and Francis were interchangeable (you learn something new everyday!).
Have not found him on the census as I don't have access. I don't belong to any of the fee-paying sites (there are too many to contemplate joining!) but will keep on looking and will ask on the request board.
Thank you so much.

Newbie here with a request for a look up!
I've had no luck trying to trace the marriage (if it existed) of:
Edward CHESTERS and Ann(e) CHESTERS - probably around 1835/6 maybe in Chester.
Their son George CHESTERS was baptized 1836 at St Mary on the Hill Chester. Parents = Edward and Anne.
I suspect George was base born yet there is no note on the baptismal record to suggest this.
My reasoning is that his parents were not recorded as living together in the 1841 census or any census report since then but his father was still alive in 1866 and listed on George's marriage certificate.
The 1851 census gives his mother's status as "unmarried".
His mother Anne appears to share the same surname as her son's father = CHESTERS as her father was a John CHESTERS.
Of course the possibility exists that the father's name was not CHESTERS and George assumed his mother's maiden name.
I'm wondering if the record index lists brides maiden names?
I've had no luck finding either party in the CPRdb marriages.
Very grateful for your help here!

George Chesters was baptized at Trinity Church in Chester 8 September, 1836, according to the IGI.
The Cathedral, St. John The Baptist and St. Mary On The Hill each have earlier cut off dates for their marriages on the IGI so it might be worthwhile to look at the records from those sources.

Thank you for the welcome Jean and I really appreciate the time you spent looking for that elusive CHESTERS marriage.
There are no other children from that union - but I did find a record of a marriage in 1844 for an Edward CHESTERS in Liverpool who might possibly fit the profile of my Edward (similar recorded occupations) and he gave his status as "bachelor".
I wonder if anyone knows about divorce records - if such a thing existed back then?
Or maybe Rector doing the baptism was "persuaded" not to enter the illegitimacy in the baptismal record! My speculation is running rampant here!
Thank you Beth for the other suggestions. Unfortunately I still came up empty.
Guess this is one of the things that is so intriguing about this field - the lingering unanswered questions!
Thank you both again.

Hi Cilla,
Divorce would have been very expensive and unlikely then. It would be more likely that he remarried bigamously if he was ever married to Ann in the first place!
It might be worth a post on the main Cheshire board giving all the information that you have on both parties to see if anyone can spot anything for you. If you do, please include the census refs if you have them.
Jean
-
I wonder if anyone knows about divorce records - if such a thing existed back then?
Cilla
Divorce was legally impossible in England and Wales after the Reformation until 1857 except through a private Act of Parliament. While not so expensive as some commentators claim, it was nevertheless a complicated procedure. Such an act had to be introduced, normally following a judicial separation, through the House of Lords. The cost was 120GBP if uncontested but up to 800GBP if contested, and took about a year. Until 1857 only the ecclesiastical courts had jurisdiction to assist spouses who could not use the parliamentary procedure. The church courts could annul a marriage, by a decree of nullity, declaring that the marriage had never been valid.
Stan
-
Thanks Jean and Stan for your replies. Good information to know.
Obviously divorce was not an option for these two given their occupational status (post boy and dressmaker) - if indeed they were ever married. Will take my puzzle over to the main boards!

Hi Big Kev and welcome to Rootschat.
I have had a look and cannot see an obvious marriage, there is one for Wm WOOD and Sarah MITCHELL at Biddulph, Staffs 23 Sep 1771 (he is from Astbury) but it seems too early to fit. Malpas isn't very well covered although events are being added to www.freereg.org.uk but only covers 1820 - 1829 at the moment.

Dear Chris,
I have just seen this offer to look up Cheshire marriages BUT before I waste your time - the reason I want it looked up is in case it gives the bridegrooms father's name I have never seen Phillimores so have no idea what it gives. I am unable to find this marriage on the online parish records for cheshire. The witnesses names would be useful.
The couple are: George Foster/Forster
b 1799 Wrenbury and
Ann Cadman
b 1803 Acton
I suspect but don't know, that they married in Wrenbury Parish Church. I believe George Foster/Forster was living in Audlem at one time, also Woolfall.
The marriage took place on 1.4.1823 (from IGI sources - submitted).
If you found the record where would I be able to request a certificate from since it is pre-1837.
Thank you for any help you can give me.

Hi Sue,
The information that is available is an index of the Parish Register so won't give more information than you already have. A marriage at this date is unlikely to provide the names of the parents of the bride and groom but you might be lucky with the witnesses. As you have the date you can order a copy of the parish register entry from Cheshire Records Office - they have an online ordering facility.

They had several children the 1st being Ann b 1827 Dukinfield.
Thanks in advance

Hi Jean,
I wonder if you could have a look for a marriage for me?
Joel Wood was born in Butley, Cheshire, c1790.
I think his marriage will be between 1815/ 1822
On the 1841 census he’s living in Heaton Norris and his eldest child was born there c1823.
That’s all the information I have and realize that with such a common name it will be a tall order. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you,
Pat

Hi carolynb,
The information is from an index so won't contain much more information.
Robert GRIFFIES m Mary YOUNG 3 Feb 1812 at Tarvin by licence
As you have the exact date you can order a copy of the parish register entry from Cheshire Records office online for a small fee - it might also be worth getting a copy of the marriage licence. But neither are guaranteed to have parents names.

Hello
I'm hoping you can kindly look this up for me! :)
I'm interested in the marriage of William Hughes and Charlotte b.abt 1801 (i think her maiden name was Thomas) both are from Chester as far as I know. I think they were married in 1819.
I am interested in any details of their age's, occupation, address etc. I'm also particularly interested in their parent's details (if there are any) as I want to continue my family tree.
Their children were James Hughes b.abt 1821 Emma Hughes b.abt 1829 George Hughes b.abt 1830
Hopefully you'll be able to find something for me.
Thanks, Gareth :)

I'm now wondering if Harriett Thomas is maybe Charlotte's sister, not sure about Thos (presumalby short for Thomas) Jones.
Fascinating, thanks!

Hi, hope you can help with 2 marriages in the West Kirby/Caldy area of the Wirral.
John Prenton to Jane Johnson around 1720 and John's father John Prenton which I presume would be around 1680/90.
They are not on the Cheshire Parish Register project or IGI so here's hoping!
Many thanks,

Hi Iria/ Jean
Am looking for another couple of marriages in Cheshire!
Olive Nield's parents - who'm I assuming were married in Stalybridge around 1800 - 1806:
James Nield to Hannah ?
Also: I have a Samuel Hague/Haigh? m Betty (Elizabeth) ? again in Stalybridge around 1822 - 1825
Can anyone help with these. I can't seem to find anything on the IGI.

I have Hannah YARWOOD born about 1839 in Motttram St Andrew, Cheshire. I cannot find her parents marriage, so must be before 1837.
Please could you check and see if you can find a marriage for

Thank you

Hi Janet (and Joan)
The marriage referred to took place in 1839 at Cheadle St Mary - it is on www.cheshirebmd.org.uk.
The certificate would tell you if she had been married before.

Thanks ever so much for that Jean. The first two children listed for Samuel and Betty were born in 1825 and 1826, so I wonder if this was Samuel's second marriage? Alternatively, it could have been Betty's second marriage?
Is there any sign of an earlier one as these first two children were born in Stalybridge?
Thanks again for your help.
Tracy

Hi Tracy,
I think you would need to find the baptisms of the children if possible. There are no marriages for HAGUE/HAIGH in Stalybridge on my indexes (doesn't mean it didn't happen there - just that they haven't been indexed).

Hi,
I'm hoping someone can locate a marriage record around the late 1790's to early 1800's for Charles Boulton,cabinetmaker to an Elizabeth ?
Their eldest known child,was christened in 1801 at Chester St. John The Baptist.All subsequent children were also christened there, according to the Cheshire Parish Register Project.
I'm hoping they may have married at the same church. One of their children had a middle name of Chritchley,could this be Elizabeth's maiden name?
According to the IGI,there is a Charles Boulton,christened 1775 in Gawsworth,Ches. parents William & Esther Green. I'm not sure this is the Charles I'm looking for,as I have no proof of his dob.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Nancy

Hi Jean,
You are a shining star! You helped unravel a family mystery. Charles Boulton is my 4x gr. grandfather. His 2 marriages explains why 2 of his children had middle names of Roberts and Critchley.
Since I'm from the U.S. and not familiar with the Cheshire area, could you clarify things for me? Charles 1st marriage at Knutsford and 2nd marriage at Moreton Say,Salop, are they the names of the town or the church?
Is there any way for me to get a copy or scan of these records?
I can't thank you enough for your help. Without all you wonderful,generous rootschatters help,I'd be lost!
Best wishes,
Nancy

Hi Nancy,
They are the names of the town. I suspect the Knutsford one will be Knutsford St John. See:
http://www.ukbmd.org.uk/genuki/chs/knutsford.html
Salop is another name for Shropshire. I'm not as familiar with the area, it might be best to post a separate request for information on the Shropshire board - not much information but:

You can order photocopies of the parish register online from Cheshire Records Office for a small fee.

Hi Dorothy,
The marriage is listed on the IGI at www.familysearch.org - you can search this for free:
William WESTGARTH m Harriett ROWBOTHAM 22 Dec 1817 at Bowdon
You would need to get a copy of the parish register entry for further information, but it is unlikely to give you parents names unless they were witnesses. You can order a copy of the register entry from Cheshire Records Office - they have an online ordering system.

Hi G,
The information on this thread is from an index so is unlikely to give you the information you are looking for. The marriage is here:
Mary FINDLOW m John BEBBINGTON 21 Jun 1825 at Astbury
With this information you can order a copy of the parish register entry from Cheshire Records Office for a small fee - but it will only tell you if John was from another parish at the time of the marriage and not where he was born.
The witnesses may help to build the information on the family, but sometimes the witnesses are parish officials.

Thans so much for the lookup,it helps anyway,at least I have date evidence now,

I will now be able to try what you suggest and contact the records office.

I am new to Rootschat and posted a Cheshire request but I'm not sure where it went!
However, I am looking for a marriage c 1836 of Thomas hamnett and Elizabeth/Betty ???. They lived in an area of Cheshire called Chorley. I do not know which Parish that was in, in 1836. Any assistance would be appreciated. Dignity.
-
Hello Dignity and welcome to Rootschat!
Here is the link to your previous post where people have posted some census lookups for you:
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,340482.msg2194599.html#msg2194599
I can't see a relevant marriage on the indexes although they are not complete. Given the data on your other thread it is also possible that the marriage took place after civil registration started on 1st July 1837 but I can't see anything obvious.
There are 2 Chorley's in Cheshire, but again from your post I guess that this is the one you are looking for information on:

Hi.
I'm looking for the marriage of Joseph REDFERN (born c. 1802) to Ann MADDOCKS or MADDOX (born c. 1812). Their first known child was born c. 1836 so they were probably married in the early 1830s, maybe in the Guilden Sutton area.
I'm also looking for the marriage of Ann's parents William MADDOCKS and Elizabeth, pre 1812, again maybe in the Guilden Sutton area, which is where Ann was baptised.
Is anyone able to help?

Hi hsm and welcome to Rootschat.
Not where expected, but could this be the first marriage?
Jos REDFERN m Ann MADDOCKS 1 Mar 1835 Cheadle
There's nothing obvious for Ann's parents marriage, but it could be that she was from the Cheadle area.
Jean
-
Many thanks for that Jean. I think this could well be the right one as Joseph and Ann were living in Haughton Green, Lancs by 1841. Definitely worth further investigation.

Hi
I am looking for marriages for the following: -
John Findlow (or Finlow) to Mary Burgess in 1778 Alderley (any parent details would be great or parish belong to details).
James Findlow (or Finlow) to Elizabeth (unknown) abt 1801-1809 probably also in Alderley
William Findlow (or Finlow) to Martha (unknown) abt 1829 onwards
Harriett Findlow (or Finlow) to John Cragg before 1841 probably in Stockport
Many thanks in advance

Hi Abigail,
The parish registers for Alderley are fully transcribed up to c1870 and available here:
http://www.csc.liv.ac.uk/~cprdb/
The marriage of John and Mary Burgess is under FINLOW.
The only other one I can see is this:
James FINLOW m Eliz. BROADHEAD 10 Feb 1808 at Cheadle. You are unlikely to get parents names on the register at this time unless they are witnesses.
Hope this helps,

Hi Curtis,
There isn't much information about for dates as early as this. I have checked my indexes but there are no leads there. It seems very close on dates for George to have been born 1684 and married Ellin who then died in 1700/01 - also, Didsbury is in Lancashire, now a suburb of Manchester. Can I ask what leads you to Tilston for the marriage? And do you know if George and Ellin had any children born/baptised in England?
Sorry for all the questions :)

Jean, George & Ellen did have children, this is how we are related, George had two children, one boy George jr, and one daughter, Martha. When Ellen died we believe Shorty after, George sr. came to Virginia, US. We have a will from George sr, and can trace from there to the current timeline.
We just don’t have any info before George and Ellen, and who was George's father and mother we only can guess, and believe that Gorge's father might be Hugh William Hulme b.1634 wife Elizabeth (massey) or (Massaiz) Hulme b.1638?, children were, Robert, Hugh, George, and a unknown child. BUT we have nothing that confirms this. That is where we are stuck. We believe that George was born in Tilston, England, that is the only connection.
Here is another loop.
We also believe a William Hulme b. 1670 was somehow related to George, both came to Virginia, US and died there in the same county in VA. But we cannot tie the two together.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, Curtis

I think that the only option is to find your local LDS centre and go through the Tilston parish records although it isn't clear how you have found the Tilston connection. Were George jun and Martha baptised in Cheshire? Tilston and Didsbury are some distance apart so the connection isn't obvious. I have had a look at the records I have access to and can't find any further leads for you.
Sorry I can't be of more help, but will bear it in mind when researching.

Hi wozwoz and welcome to Rootschat.
I have had a look and can't see a match for the marriage anywhere. However the indexes are like most resources and aren't complete so it doesn't mean that the marriage isn't there.

Hi Jean
I'm throwing my net a little wider for some of my Salford connections:
Thomas Delves to Margaret ??
probably about 1800 - 1805
They have a daughter baptised at a non-conformist chapel in Salford in 1803 but I can't see anything for them before then in the non-conformist records or in Lancashire & as he was a gardener / "agriculter" he presumably came from somewhere with fields ;D
Many thanks

would be gratefull if you could look up marriage between William Clarke b 1820-1821 Bridgemere and a lass named Hannah b 1820-1821 Hatherton first child born 1837 so they would obviously of neede permision as they were not of age and would assume both being born in Nantwich would of taken place there.

William CLARKE m Hannah LOCKETT 29 Dec 1836 at Wybunbury. You can see the full details of the marriage here: http://www.csc.liv.ac.uk/~cprdb/
Both Bridgemere and Hatherton would have come under the parish of Wybunbury.

Blimey Jayson, where do you find them? Nothing on the indexes, the only one I can see is on the IGI in 1819 to Frances Scott in Bedminster, Somerset......
Any more clues?

Hi Chris
Could you see if you could find a marriage for a George Critchley - he was born bet 1794-1801 in Nantwich. I feel the marriage may have been in the Macclesfield area as he had one son with this wife named Thomas Critchley b 1821 Macclesfield. So around 1820 I feel may be around the right date.
Thanks very much Jo ;D

Hi Jean
Thanks for that I will bear it in mind - I don't have his wifes name at all, my only reservation is that Georges occupation for 30/40 years was a tripe dresser, not cotton spinner. Thats not to say he changed occupations though is it. I will have a look at Sarah Dicks
Thanks very much again Happy New Year

Thanks for looking. I've found out the groom's first name which was Jonathan. According to a book I have they were married in 1802 but nothing more precise than that.

Hi Chris,
Peter Bennett found me a marriage between John Ridgway and Martha Ashworth at St Mary Cheadle on the 27th June 1827 some time ago when I was 'chasing' marriages and deaths and maiden names of my Gt Gt grandparents.
Apart from 2 deaths in Yorkshire I have completed that and am wondering if there is any more info on Parents or witnesses given.

Hi Mumsie2131,
The information is from an index - sometimes there is a little more information given but I have checked and there is nothing else there. The date shown is 17th June 1827 (not 27th). As you have the date I suggest that you contact Cheshire Records Office for the details - you can even order a copy of the parish record entry online for a small fee.
Hope this helps,

Hi spellbound and welcome to Rootschat!
Percival is a very common name in Cheshire and it isn't possible to do blanket lookups for a surname. Do you have any specific marriages pre 1837 that you want a search for?
Happy to help if you can give some details.
Jean
-
Hi Chris,
I wonder if you can help me out too please?
Another very kind Rootschatter has recently helped me find loads of information through various sites which inevitably gives you more research to do!
Please can you look up the following for me?:-
John Royle - m - Esther ??? I think around 1814???
They had a daughter Ellen who was born in 1816 and christened in Carrington, Cheshire on 27.10.1816.
I would just like to know Esther's maiden name, if and when they were married and where. Plus dob's if you can!???
Many thanks in anticipation........
Jackie
-
Hi,
After a bit of digging around and another Rootchatter's help I have managed to find out Esther's maiden name was Wood and she was born around 1783, they married in 1807.
So I think I have found the answers I wanted!!!!!!
Thanks for reading this anyway.
Sorry if I've put you to any trouble in the meantime.

Hi Jean
Please will you see if you can find a marriage between an Elizabeth Woodward and Peter Pemberton which I think took place in Frodsham on 27.12.1832. I think her father was called John - is her father's name given?
Please will you also see if you can find a marriage for a John Woodward around 1800-1810. Is his father shown as George? I'm hoping there are two marriages for John Woodwards and that one is not Elizabeth Hayes.
Please will you also see if you can find a marriage of a George Woodward in the mid 1700s.
I am very confused with my Woodward ancestors and I think the key to the puzzle is finding out who John Woodward married and, hopefully, if his father's name is shown.

Hi Lizzie,
1. Peter PEMBERTON m Betsy WOODWARD 27th December 1832 at Frodsham. The witnesses were M HAYES and John WOODWARD - father's name is not given at this time but the witnesses may help!
2. John WOODWARD p. Weverham m Nancy ROBINSON 26 Dec 1803 at Northenden
John WOODWARD m Elizb HAYES 6 May 1805 at Frodsham
John WOODWARD m Mary ELLISON 4 Apr 1808 at Runcorn
3. George WOODWARD m Mgt DOD 16 Apr 1759 at Frodsham
George WOODWARD m Mary BELL 15 Nov 1768 at Frodsham
No other details given for 2. and 3.
Hope this helps,
Jean
PS. There are a few WOODWARD wills that look to be in the right area - they might help to link the families: http://www.cheshire.gov.uk/Recordoffice/Wills/
-
Thank you Jean.
As the witnesses to Peter Pemberton's and Elizabeth (Betsy) Woodward's marriage were a John Woodward and an M Hayes, I think it is probably a safe bet that her parents were John Woodward(1) and Elizabeth Hayes. From IGI, it appears that his parents were a John Woodward(2) and a Mary Hughes. Apparently their marriage was on 7 October 1773. Is it possible for you to look at that marriage, i.e. John Woodward(2) and Mary Hughes and see if there are any witnesses or parents listed.
I already have a will of a George Woodward who I was told was Elizabeth Woodwards's grandfather, but it seems that is wrong and I have a will of a John Woodward which I only received this week. Now I know that the one I want married Elizabeth Hayes, I will do a search on IGI for any children to see if the names match the ones on the will. If they don't then I have another wrong will. ::) Maybe I should have remembered this thread before I ordered the will.
Many thanks.

THANKS!

Hi Lizzie,
I only have an index so it is just lucky if the witnesses are listed and there is nothing for the 1773 marriage but it is on the index as 7 Oct 1773 at Frodsham.
Cheshire Records Office will provide copies of the parish register and their charges are reasonable. You can order online from their website.
You will probably find that the Woodwards are all connected somewhere so the will won't be a waste! ;)

Hi Cheryl,
I'm sorry, but their are no TYNAN marriages listed on my index - they aren't complete though so it doesn't mean it didn't take place where you think - Mottram in Longdendale seems the most likely option.
Sorry I can't be more help,
Jean
-
Hi Jean
Thanks for all the info I have loads of Cheshire ancestors and you are right, I think the Woodwards are all intertwined, that's why it's difficult to sort them out. Another Woodward ancestor told me that a George Woodward was Elizabeth Woodward's grandfather, but that now appears wrong, so I'll have to go all through the previous info I had.
Is the index that you have, Phillimore or Bertram Merrill?

On the 1841 census William TURNER, Whitesmith, born 1811, of Warrington says he was not born in the county.
On the same census William TURNER, Whitesmith, born 1781, of Warrington also says he was not born in the county.
By 1851 William TURNER, the younger of the two whitesmiths has died but the older one with the same daughter but a new wife, says he was born in Chester, Chester.
The son of the William who died early also became a whitesmith so it seems possible that the older man was father to the younger and took his grandson under his wing.
Checking the Cheshire Parish Record Project, I see that William Senior and two siblings appear to be the offspring of William TURNER and Sarah, born 1776, 1781 and 1783 and baptized Chester, St. Mary.
Do you have a marriage for William and Sarah 1775 ish and also William and Ann around 1806? I found his second marriage to Jane on Free BMD.
Thank you for taking time to read this.

Hello Beth,
I've had a good look round but can't see anything that fits. There is a marriage of a William TURNER to Ann TAYLOR at Prestbury 16 Jun 1805 but he is described as a Cotton Spinner from Rainow. I've also had a look at the Lancashire OPC site at the Warrington records but nothing there either, and no William TURNER wills for anyone with the occupation Whitesmith.
Sorry I can't be of more help,

Re the TURNERS: Finding the Whitesmith occupation seemed like a gift. Sorry it didn't take me any further.

I am looking for the marriage of Thomas Kenyon and Phoebe Cashier ( Chesher)in Stockport. They list Stockport on census as place of birth and all children born there,

I hope that this is not too wide a time frame

Hi Carole,
There doesn't look to be anything obvious for the dates that you are looking.
Thos PRESTON m Eliz. WHITTINGHAM 12 Feb 1816 at Middlewich
Thomas PRESTON m Fanny WALKER 13 Oct 1824 at Chester St Oswald
Thos PRESTON m Maria GRIMES 15 Feb 1825 at Cheadle
These are from indexes and no further information is given. I see from the index that Thomas was a butcher when he married Margaret.
I think you may need to find a baptism for Jane to help you identify the right marriage.
Jean
-
Thanks for looking Jean.
All I know for sure is Jane was 25 when she married in 1849.
Her father is recorded as Thomas Preston, Butcher.
Jane & some of her children are with Thomas & Margaret
in the 1861 Census in Macclesfield.
There Jane is recorded as born 1822 Macclesfield.
In 1871 Jane is listed as being born Born Rainow Cheshire.
So I will keep searching for her baptism.
Thanks again, Carole

Hi,
I am trying to find the Maiden name of my GGGG Grandfather's wife, and also hopefully his fathers first name so I can try and take the line back even further.
He was called Thomas Davenport, Born in Haughton Moss, Bunbury, Cheshire abt 1801. His wife was Mary.
I have included an image of the 1841 census showing their family and also a descendants chart that may offer a little more information.
Many thanks for offer, regardless of whether or not it bears fruit.

I am trying to find the Maiden name of my GGGG Grandfather's wife, and also hopefully his fathers first name so I can try and take the line back even further.
He was called Thomas Davenport, Born in Haughton Moss, Bunbury, Cheshire abt 1801. His wife was Mary.
I have included an image of the 1841 census showing their family and also a descendants chart that may offer a little more information.
Many thanks for offer, regardless of whether or not it bears fruit.
M Davenport.
Hi M Davenport,
I assume that you mean the marriage of James DAVENPORT to Mary from the information you have provided. This looks to be the closest match based on the fact that the ages are rounded down in the 1841 census:
James DAVENPORT m Mary GROWCOTE 29 Dec 1818 at Bunbury St Boniface
Jean
PS. I have removed the 1841 census image as it is a breach of copyright.....see this link for more information: http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,104159.0.html

Hello
I wonder if you could take a look for a marriage of a James Dooley (b. abt 1799) to a Mary Ann Jennett (b. abt 1814). I think it may have been a second marriage for James but I'm not sure :-\
Thank you very much.

Hi,
Could you see if you can fnd a marriage for James Flint (b 1791) and Martha (b 1786)
Ages aprox from Cencus sorry.
Macclesfield area - May be Bollington Or Rainow - Family moved around a small area a lot!
Thank you for the offer :)
Gaille
Hi Gaille,
Sorry, I have checked but the marriage is not on my indexes.
Jean
Thank you for looking, I thought it was a long shot without all the details.
lol I may have some more down in Crewe area, but I havent figured out whos who yet!

Hi,
Looking for the marriage of John Johnson born in Newton and Margaret born in Tarvin. Both were born abt 1795 so marriage would be around 1815 -20.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi Dave,
The only one I can see is this:
John JOHNSON m Margaret HOLT 23 May 1825 at Bowdon by Licence
It seems a bit late for your marriage, and the area doesn't look right. Perhaps it is worth putting a post on the main Cheshire lookup board with any census information you have (with refs if possible) and children's births.
Jean

Hi Jean,
Thanks for the effort....I've found that one on the IGI and I don't think its the right one either.

Hi Gareth,

Hi Chris,
Have just found your offer again and thought i'd see if you could help.
Am looking for a James BEDSON = chester area. Born roughly aound 1801 ish. His son Joseph was born in 1827 though and married Ann Findlow. Joseph went on to change the family name to BENSON. No info why though! Joseph was also a trustee of the methodist church in Huxley, which is where he brought up his children.
James' wife was called Sarah.....i think and there was a daughter named Martha and another son named james. Both older than Joseph?
They would have been either labourers or farmers. Joseph began a labourer but became a farmer, which has progressed to my fathers generation.
Many thanks in advance for your help, which would be fantastic!

Hi
Its a bit of a long shot, but
Could you check for a marriage for a SARAH COTTON (no grooms name known)between 1820 - 1837.
It would possibly have been in the CREWE area. The family tended to stay in the parishes of Alsager/Barthomley/Haslington.
I have her marrying George Beech in Odd Rode in 1839 but the cert doesnt show condition. The 1841 census shows her in Alsager with George and a 13yr old daughter (Mary Cotton)
I presume Mary was illegitimate, and that Sarah never married previous to George, but just in case...........
Many thanks

Hi Sueky71,
If you know that her maiden name was COTTON and the daughter was as well I think that she would not have been married previously. Otherwise the lookup is for a Sarah ? married to a male COTTON which is a bit of a tall order and there is no information to cross check with.
I would suggest that you try to find the baptism for the daughter to see what the parish register entry says, then at least you would have a first name for the father if he was named.
If you want some help with the baptism lookup, post a separate request on the main Cheshire lookup board.
Hope this is of some help,
Jean

Hi Jean,
Thanks for taking the time to reply.
Just looked again at Sarahs M cert and it shows her father as JOHN COTTON. So if she'd married previous, she would have married a COTTON :-\
Not impossible, as there was alot of them around, but unlikely really (although stranger things have happened!)
I agree the best way forward would be to try and find daughter Mary's baptism instead.
Thanks again

Rosanna
Hi Rosanna,
I think that you need to find the baptism of Randall Poole before you look for the marriage. Poole is not an uncommon name and without the baptism you won't be able to identify the correct marriage. I'd suggest that you start with the Witton St Helen parish registers if you are certain that Randle was from Northwich.

Hi alanstockport,
I think that you will need the parish churches, the information given is from indexes, there is no other detail.
I suspect they will be Stockport St Mary and Cheadle St Mary - as you have the dates you could order copies of the register entries online from Cheshire Records Office for a small fee. They are unlikely to have parents names unless they were witnesses.

That was a bit deja vu - I have come on here to ask if there is a marriage for John Ridgway and Jane/Jenny Burges(s) their 1st child was born in 1807, and the previous reply was about Thomas Ridgway - don't think he's mine although my gt grandfather was a Thomas !!! My ridgways lived(at that time) in Bredbury or Compstall.

My ridgways lived(at that time) in Bredbury or Compstall.
There are a couple of RIDGWAY requests if you scroll back. This is the closest match I can see, nothing for surname BURGESS (unless it is her maiden name):
John RIDGWAY, wdwr, publican m Jane LAVINGSTONE, wdw 27 Jun 1805 at Stockport
Jean
Added: Can't see a corresponding marriage for LAVINGSTONE (or LIVINGSTONE as the best alternative I could think of) to a Jane BURGESS.
-
Burges(s) is her maiden name, Her baptism and those of her son (also John) were at Gee Cross Unitarian, Hyde, Cheshire. She is reported as Jenny when her son is baptised but there is a Jane in the 1841 census living next door to John and Martha (she was Ashworth and we have all the details on them) in Compstall (the 'we' is my 3rd cousin Dot-I'm also Dot- in USA and 3rd cousin x2removed in Ireland)
Jane who is in Compstall in 1841 census has 3 daughters whose names all repeat in subsequesnt generations PLUS 2 of these daughters were baptised on the same day as their Nephew (my gt grandfather) all were non-conformist baptisms.
I hope that helps.

Hi Jean,
many thanks for looking and for the additional advice. Apologies for not replying sooner - I didn't get notification of your reply, so checked on rootschat just in case. Good job I did! Not sure about John - I haven't got a baptism for him - but 99.99% certain he is from the same family.
Much appreciate your help,
regards,

Thanks for trying! Could you look for a marriage of James Winstanley in Runcorn around 1760-1775.
Kate
Hi Kate,
The only marriages close to that time are:
James WINSTANLEY m Mary GREEN, sp P of Rostherne 2 Feb 1764 Gt Budworth
James WINSTANLEY, widower m Mary YATES sp. 12 Sep 1772 Gt Budworth by licence

Great. I think James & Mary Yates in 1772 are my guys as his son Samuel was born in 1777.
Thanks very much......Kate

Hi
I would be grateful if you could check out a marriage for me.
William Gibbons born about 1810 (spelling variant Gibbins) and Elizabeth ? born about 1816 and various census' state both were from Culcheth.
They lived in the area called Culcheth near Warrington, which was under Lancashire but changed to Cheshire when the boundaries moved.
William and Elizabeth had their first two children called Hannah b.1835 and Ann b.1837 whilst in Culcheth. Their third child called James born 1840 in nearby Rixton, but by the 1841 census they had moved to Lower Peover and Allostock in East Cheshire where they stayed and had several children. William is described as a farmer in the census'.
I would imagine the marriage to have taken place in Culcheth or Winwick in about 1834.
Many thanks.

Hi Cheshire Researchers
I have access to the Marriage Registers for all 5 volumes of W.P.W Phillimores Cheshire Parish Record Transcripts. Marriages only
The dates covered are 17th and 18th Century

Hi Chris
We are trying to find the maiden name of an Ann Hardern married to Thomas Hardern around 1820. On the 1841 census they were living at Betchton Sandbach. We did find an Ann Massey that married a Thomas Hardern, but there may have been others.
Thanks

Hi Jean
Could you see if you can find the marriage of a Hickson to a Sarah between 1790-1803 in Rostherne? They have a daughter Eliza, born in 1804 in Rostherne, who married Thomas Burgess in 1825 in Rostherne.
Thanks, Kate

Sorry but there is nothing in the Cheshire marriage indexes. I also looked at the Lancashire OPC site and there are some marriages for Winwick (and for Warrington) transcribed but nothing for your couple.

Hi Kate,
The closest is this:
Charles HICKSON, wdwr, of Weaverham m Sarah BOARDMAN, wdw 27 Jan 1791 at Gt Budworth
But as they had both been married previously I would suspect they would be too old to have a child in 1804. I think I can see Charles previous marriage in 1770 at Weaverham.
I'd suggest that you see if you can find the baptism of Eliza so you have her father's name.

Hi Elsby,
There is this one:
Wm ELSBY, lab m Ellen SMALLWOOD, sp 6 May 1817 at Sandbach.
There is no further information given on the index, but you are unlikely to get much more from the parish record as parents names weren't recorded - although they may be witnesses. You could order a copy of the parish register entry from Cheshire Records Office online for a small fee.
Hope this helps,

Hello,
I've only just stumbled across this board, so I'm not entirely sure how this offer to look up marriages works, but...
I've recently hit a bit of a brick wall. I'm looking for a John Bradbury (or Bredbury) born circa 1760 who married a Hannah. Her surname might be Sidebottom. He is from the Hyde/Newton area so they probably married at Mottram, sometime around 1780. The only problem is that there are a lot of John Bradburys knocking around at that time and an equal number of Hannah Sidebottoms. I've so far managed to find three John Bradburys and Hannahs/Anns (no surnames given, annoyingly) who could fit the bill and a John who married an Ann Sidebottom in 1778, but their son's baptism record definitely gives the mother's name as Hannah, not Ann. The Sidebottom bit I'm guessing at since their son named his first child Sidebottom Bradbury (what a wonderful name!).
Any help you can give would be hugely appreciated.
Thank-you,
David

Hi David and a warm welcome to Rootschat.
Some possibles for you:
John BRADBURY, p Stockport m Ann SIDEBOTTOM 24 Feb 1778 at Macclesfield
John BRADBURY, weaver m Hannah HORSFIELD, sp 11 Feb 1779 at Stockport
John BRADBURY, weaver m Ann WARD, sp 4 Jan 1785 at Stockport
There are no matches for John BREDBURY marriages.
Hope this helps,
Jean

Hi Jean,
Thanks very much for your help (and the welcome). The Ann Ward marriage is too late I think (son Randal was born in 1783). The other two I'd come across already but didn't know where the marriages took place so that might help. Of course, either could be feasible, but I think the Sidebottom one is more likely (I simply can't imagine any reason why one would give one's child the first name Sidebottom unless it was a family name!). I suppose she might have been christened Hannah but called herself Ann?
Thanks again,
David

Hi Chris,
Hope you can help me with this one! I have been told that my Great Great Grandfather was named William Constantine, a silk top-hat manufacturer from Scotland (Glasgow). He married Elizabeth ?? They had a daughter named Mary Constantine in 1848. I have been able to find a William Consterdine and Elizabeth in the 1841 census, living at Bredbury Green, Stockport. and neighbours James & Ann Cock and family living next door. I believe Ann was Elizbbeth's sister. I think their maiden names was Williamson. William Constantine passed on by the 1851 census.
Could you find out anything about William Constantine & Elizabeth??? e.g. fathers names, occupations, and mothers names etc. I would be so greatful for anything you may find. I have come to a brick wall on this one. I cannot find anything about William.
Thanks! KitKat

Hi Chris
Hope you can sort out my confusion please.
I have a James Ward who married a Charlotte possibly abt 1809, this is when their first child was born and christened at Poynton. Their other children afterwards were christened at Worth. I had found a submitted record to say that James had married Charlotte Tomkinson, 1809, Prestbury, and being quite new to this at the time took it as 'red'. In 1837 Charlotte Ward married John Rowlinson, James must have died, but on the cheshire pilot site it states her father was George Brown. I cannot find any record of Charlotte Brown marrying James Ward a collier.
Many thanks
Evie
Added: I am assuming this is the same Charlotte as she is living with John in the 1841 and son George Ward at Worth Clough.

I have information about the following being married at Prestbury - dates 1800 - 1821. Possibly 1817.

Hi Kitkat,
There is this marriage:
Jas COCK m Ann WILLIAMSON 22 Nov 1829 at Cheadle
William CONSTANTINE m Elizabeth WILLIAMSON in 1840 at Cheadle St Mary - see www.cheshirebmd.org.uk.
I'd suggest that the birth certificate of Mary in 1848 and the marriage certificate from 1840 would help you find out some more information about William's father.

Hi Evie,
The marriage you are referring to is this:
James WARD, Collier of Poynton m Charlotte TOMKINSON of Worth 20 Jul 1808 at Prestbury
It seems to fit with the information you already have about the Poynton baptism and connection with Worth. I can't see an earlier marriage either but:
1. The familysearch pilot record that you have found is a transcription - so could be an error so it would be worth trying to see the original. You could send for the certificate, the marriage is on www.cheshirebmd.org.uk
2. Charlotte was illegitimate and George Brown was her father. This could be difficult to prove.
There is a Charlotte TOMKINSON baptised at Adlington, Cheshire 14 Mar 1790 - the image is available on the familysearch pilot site.

Hello Chris, My interest is in a Thomas Millward, born 1797-1801 christened Hartington Church Derbyshire. Father William butcher by trade, as was Thomas his son.
1841 census Thomas is living in Byroms Street, Sutton Lane Ends, Macclesfield.
1845 he fathers a child. 1847 married the mother Martha Parr.
1867 death in Macclesfield Workhouse. Buried Prestbury Churchyard.
I am wondering if he was married before his marriage to Martha in 1847
I hope your offer of marriage lookups pre 1837 is still on offer.
Thank you, Mrs G

Hi Mrs G,
I can't see an pre 1837 marriage for Thomas, but there is this:
William MILLWARD, butcher m Elizabeth HUNT widow 25 Sep 1826 at Prestbury, both of Macclesfield
and
Wm MILLWARD, butcher m Eliz HUNT, wdw 26 Nov 1817 at Prestbury, both of Macc
Both marriages by licence.
Strange as the dates don't look easily confused, I think the only way to be sure would be checking the parish registers.

Hello Janet,
Well, this is a bit strange, I couldn't see anything at first but then:
Ann COWLEY m Wm KELSOPENNY 11 Sep 1805 at Great Budworth
and also this:
John Kelsal PENNY, bachelor m Mary ASTLES, widow 19 Apr 1825 at Great Budworth
and
Jas Kelsall PENNY, 21 m Mary PICKSTOCK 22 Oct 1800 at Witton
I wonder if the register had joined middle name and surname by mistake?

Hello Jean, I was able to find more info about the 1826 wedding of William Millward and Elizabeth Hunt
on the Familysearch Pilot site where it had batch, file, film numbers.etc. Unfortunately there was no icon to take me to the original details. I joined the Find My Past site hoping to find out more but they did not have any record of William. Where can I look next? As I have all the details surely the original is somewhere to be seen.
Thank you for the listings of abbreviations, they were very useful.
Among the familySearch details of William was England VR. Does VR means vital records? In this case what are Vital records?
Thanks again, Mrs G
-
Thank you so much, Jean.
This must be the right family as I already had a Thomas Halsall or Kelsall Penny born 1823 - the former middle name from the census, the latter from the Cheshire BMD. He was the son of William and Ann; John and James look to be William's brothers.
I wonder if Kelsall was their mother Martha's maiden name. I'll also take a look on IGI under Kelsopenny just in case.
Many thanks again.
Janet

Hi Jean,
Thank you so much for taking the time to search and heading me in the right direction!
You can probably tell that I am new at this! This must be the William Constantine I have been looking for. Never thought of him passing on before Mary was born. Now I can get a death certificate.

Hi Mrs G,
I think that the resource that you found on the family search pilot site is the BVRI (British Vital Records Index) - the images aren't available for that source. As you have a date for the marriage you could order a copy of the parish register entry - this link will take you to the site:

Hello Chris
Wow, so many views and replies, must be a record?
Can you find time to do one more? I have an IGI record of a marriage 2/2/1775 between Joseph Holland b Macclesfield abt 1751 and Elizabeth Swain b Gawsworth abt 1750. Could you tell me which parish please?
Regards and congratulations.
Hi Alan,
I think this is the marriage you want:
Joseph HOLLAND m Elizabeth SWAIN 2 Feb 1775 at Gawsworth

Dare I ask if anyone can find William HOLLAND marrying Mary SAXON possibly at Davenham (although I'm sure I searched it on MF years ago). The marriage would have been between 1800 and 1810.
Many thanks.

Hi Jean
I now think this is the first marriage of Moses Dobson b. 22 Sep 1751. He and Sarah had two children - Samuel b. 25 Aug 1776 d. 1792 and Mary b. 1778 d. 1792. Beginning in 1780, he had at least three more children with Mary - John b. 18 Jun 1780, George b. 07 Jul 1782 d. 1793 and Thomas b. 23 May 1784. It is this second marriage I am interested in, which now looks like it would have happened around 1779 in Daresbury/Great Budworth.
Moses' parents were Moses Dobson b. 1724 & Mary b. 1729 who were married between 1745-1750 as they had children beginning in 1750 - George b. 1750 d. 1750, Moses b. 22 Sep 1751, Samuel b. 24 Mar 1753 and George b. 27 Mar 1756. Do you have any record of this marriage in Daresbury/Great Budworth.
This Moses' parents were Thomas Dobson b. 1686 and Ellen Bulling b. 1690, who were married in Great Budworth in 1711.
Thanks for your help.

Chris,
I'm looking for a marriage between John Barber & Jane Gibson, both born around 1796 and recorded in the 1841 Census at Siddington with their 11 children. The eldest child, John, was born in 1817.
As they continued to live in Siddington all their lives, I suppose they were there earlier on. John was the village brick maker as well as a small farmer.
Hope you can come up with something
Thanks, Ann

Hello, Chris - I'm trying to find out more information about Great Budworth area marriages, please (probably St Mary's):
I'm looking for a James Penny (Penney?) who married a Martha, roughly between 1770 - 1790.
I'd also be interested in any information you can provide about a marriage between James Cowley and a Mary, roughly around the same time

Hi BK,
Still can't find anything for you on this. Have you considered purchasing the birth certificate for one of the children born after 1837 to get Mary's maiden name? It might be the best option given the surname DAVIES.

Hi Ann,
The information is from an index not the original PR - but it is unlikely to give parents names on an entry from this date unless they were witnesses. You could purchase a copy of the original PR entry from Cheshire Records Office for a small fee - http://www.cheshireeast.gov.uk/leisure_and_culture/record_office/online_shop.aspx

Hi Joan Marie and a warm welcome to Rootschat,

please could I ask for help with a marriage pre 1798 in Chester.
I have Charles Hibbert b. c1798 married Ann Wilkinson 1824 St Oswalds Chester. Unfortunately I can go no further back with the Hibbert line. Perhaps charles's father married c1796, if there is a marriage in the records around that time it would be super.
Many thanks

Hi liverbird09,
I think that it will be very difficult to ascertain Charles's parents without his baptism record.
The only one I can see is from this site:
http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#start
Charles HIBBERT baptised 1797 at Plemonstall St Peter - you could contact Cheshire Records office to see if they are able to find details of parents etc. but they may charge as you don't have an exact date - http://www.cheshire.gov.uk/recoff/
You could send for a copy of Charles's marriage entry from the parish register - if you have the date and church you will just need to pay for a photocopy - the witnesses may help you.
Have you found Charles on the census to confirm his place of birth? If not, you could post on the Cheshire Lookup board.
Hope this helps,
Jean
-
Hi Jean
Thanks for your help.
I do have a photocopy of charles's marriage lines they married in church by licence. One of the witnesses a John Dunning married into Charles's wife's family the Wilkinsons of Tarporley. The History & Heritage church in Chester houses parish registers on film & they were very helpful.
Unfortunately, as chance would have it, Charles died in 1839 of "affection" of the head, (whatever that means)before the census started, I have his death cert & John Dunning registered the death.
I will try the record office again to ascertain if the licence can throw some light on it.
Appreciate your help and time, many thanks.

Hi,
Wondered if you might be able to find a marriage for Matthew Sykes about 1817 maybe at Bowden. He married Mary?
I think he died July-August 1860 Stockport and I think she may have died 1876 October-December Stockport.

Hi again liverbird09
I wonder if that 1797 baptism is worth following up for more information - you could be lucky with the licence but they don't always hold much information. Plemonstall is in the right area, and if there were any other Hibbert's baptised at the same time you might be able to follow some of the naming conventions.
Hope this helps,
Jean
PS. I've just had a quick scout on the census and there are a couple of HIBBERT's born at Hoole - part of Hoole was in the parish of Plemstall / Plemonstall. There is a couple in Cheshire in 1851, Thomas and Elizabeth HO107 2172/506 Page 25, he is 75 and she is 77. And a Moses born Hoole in c1801, HO107 2172/441 Page 16 with a son called Charles......
-
Hi Jean
Thanks again for the search. I will check out the 1797 baptism of Charles next time I go to the record office, I obviously missed it in my first search, probably because I was short of time and tried to amass too much info in one visit, like we do.
I will have a look at Thomas and Elizabeth, they have about the right ages and those names feature in charles's family.
I think you are wonderfully generous and kind giving up so much of your time to help, it is much appreciated.
I will let you know how I get on.
many thanks

Samuel Bebbington - Anne (surname not known)
Pre 1814 - I think Acton area.
Samuel Bebbington (son of above) also married to Ann - think this may be too late for your records as 1st child born 1841.
Joseph Bates - Margaret
Aprox 1830
Crewe or Nantwich area.
(any Bebbington or Bates from these areas would be of interest as they all seem to be inter-related)
Thank You.

Thank you for looking.
I don't know where to go from here. William Crawford was rather random about his age on census returns and I don't know what Elizabeth's surname was. William was born in Duddon and Elizabeth was born in Over; in 1841 they were living in Over and their eldest child was probably born 1823-24. They had a son George, christened in Over on 6 Dec 1826. Their surname was written as Crawfort on one census and Crawfurt on another record.
It's all very interesting, though :)

Hi Gaille,
The only marriage in the correct timeframe is this:
Samuel BEBBINGTON m Ann BILLINGTON 18 Jan 1813 at Astbury St Mary
CheshireBMD has a couple of Samuel BEBBINGTON marriages post 1837:
Samuel BEBBINGTON m Fanny TURNER Sandbach St Mary 1840
Samuel BEBBINGTON m Mary Anne SWINTON Whitegate St Mary 1841
A full transcription of the second marriage is shown here: http://www.csc.liv.ac.uk/~cprdb/
- Samuel's father is James.
The birth certificate of the child born in 1841 would give the mother's maiden name.
No matches for Joseph BATE or BATES

Hi sfir,
If I'm looking at the right family in 1841 there is a daughter, Mary, born c1839 - I think that I would send off for her birth certificate which will give you Elizabeth's maiden name. There is a Mary CROWFOOT on the index at www.cheshirebmd.org.uk in 1839 born in the Over/Winsford sub district which could be her. The 1841 image also looks like CROWFOOT.
Hope this helps,
Jean
PS. Have rechecked the index for CROWFOOT / CROWFORD spellings but no luck.

Hi chris.
I am woundering if you have any details on the marriage of Edward Hyde (abt 1798, Prestbury) to I think, Sarah Stevenson (abt 1806, brn Laughbourough). I am trying to acertain the details of the parents of Edward Hyde and obviously anything which can be traced further back from Edward Hyde.I am not exactly sure what type of info is recorded on the marriage records you have but any info would be appreciated.

Hi Lindsay,
Nothing on my indexes for an Edward Hyde marriage - the index wouldn't give the parents, but usually you wouldn't get this information on the parish register entry at this time either. I'd suggest you post on the main lookup board to see if someone can find a baptism for you.
Sorry I can't be of more help,

Hi,
Desperate for some help tracking down the marriage of John Roberts to his wife, Frances (AKA Fanny). John was from Wales, but Fanny was born Neston, Cheshire as were their oldest known children (youngest born after the family moved to Tarbock, Lancs).
The eldest known child was William born 1804 in Neston. John was born c1780, Fanny c1779. As their older children were adults by the time of the censuses, it's possible there may have been others before William.
So I'm looking for a marriage of John Roberts to Frances/Fanny between 1795 & 1804... probably in Neston
Hope you can help

Hello I am hoping you can find for me a marriage between Henry Brindley and Elizabeth(maybe Hannah) Hall between 1800 and 1820 in Chester Cheshire. Their son Henry was my great grandfather.

Hi Chris,
I a m trying to trace a Charles Davenport who married an Elizabeth. They lived in the Acton Parish of Cheshire. I have found some of his children who's Baptisms show them living in Fadiley, Woodhey, Brindley & Acton. He is not to be confused with his son Charles, Baptised 2nd March 1740, who also married an Elizabeth (Thirlwell).
His children were born (baptised) in 1740 - Charles, 1742 - James, 1744 - George, 1746 - Elizabeth & 1748 - Catherine.
I have assumed a birth date of approximately 1705 - 1721, and a marriage date of 1730 - 1740 (as none of his children are listed as illigitimate)
I have searched the Acton Parish records for both his Baptism and marriage but cannot find anything. Either I've missed it, he was born in another Parish, and/or they married wherever Elizabeth hailed from.
Many thanks,
Kwiffboy.

So I'm looking for a marriage of John Roberts to Frances/Fanny between 1795 & 1804... probably in Neston
Hope you can help
Impy
Hi Impy,
I thought that this rang a bell, the marriage isn't at Neston according to the online records, and the only one that I can see is still the Frances HOPLEY one.

Hello I am hoping you can find for me a marriage between Henry Brindley and Elizabeth(maybe Hannah) Hall between 1800 and 1820 in Chester Cheshire. Their son Henry was my great grandfather. Any information on this marriage record would be helpful. I am having trouble finding the correct Brindley family for my Henry.
kind regards Phyllys
Hi Phyllys,
Some of the Chester records are on line here: http://www.csc.liv.ac.uk/~cprdb/ but I can't see a marriage for Henry.
I have checked on my indexes but nothing for Henry.
Sorry I can't be of more help,

Hi Chris,
I a m trying to trace a Charles Davenport who married an Elizabeth. They lived in the Acton Parish of Cheshire. I have found some of his children who's Baptisms show them living in Fadiley, Woodhey, Brindley & Acton. He is not to be confused with his son Charles, Baptised 2nd March 1740, who also married an Elizabeth (Thirlwell).
His children were born (baptised) in 1740 - Charles, 1742 - James, 1744 - George, 1746 - Elizabeth & 1748 - Catherine.
I have assumed a birth date of approximately 1705 - 1721, and a marriage date of 1730 - 1740 (as none of his children are listed as illigitimate)
I have searched the Acton Parish records for both his Baptism and marriage but cannot find anything. Either I've missed it, he was born in another Parish, and/or they married wherever Elizabeth hailed from.
Many thanks,
Kwiffboy.
Hi Kwiffboy,
This might warrant a bit of further investigation:
Charles DAVENPORT m Elizabeth PAINTER 28 Feb 1727 (old date format) Whitegate St Mary by licence.

Sorry about that. I knew I'd posted once before about Cheshire marriages, hadn't realised it was this couple I'd asked about.
I've just found a marriage on IGI between John Roberts and Fanny Owens in 1803 at St Oswald, Chester, which would be convenient for the eldest known child b about 1804. Is this parish not included in the database?
-
Hi Jean,
Can I ask for help?
I have a submitted IGI Record showing that an Arthur Fell marrys Ann Jones 18/6/1828 in Neston, Cheshire.
Are you able to confirm with any other detail??
Thanks in advance for you time.

Hi Impy,
Not a problem, I just knew there was something familiar about Frances Hopley! :) - and hoped that it might be a connection with another researcher for you.
The coverage varies, but St Oswald's isn't there. There are no resources that cover every parish so I would always advise doing more research to confirm (or not!) but at least it can help as a starting point sometimes. I think that the Chester marriage sounds more likely though.

I was wondering if you could find any record of a Samuel Shingler married to Susannah ?, i can find the baptism of a daughter in 1751 at Daresbury but checking back no mention of a marriage so I guess they were not in that area when they married. I am estimating their birth from death records to be around 1720, sorry no more info as this is where I have hit a brick wall. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Denise,
Sorry nothing there for them, sounds like you've already checked Daresbury PR's. I can also confirm that they didn't marry at Frodsham, not many Shinglers there at all. Have you tried Runcorn? It's not far from Daresbury and was a big parish at that time. It's probably worth keeping an eye out on the Lancashire OPC site for Warrington St Elphin - the years you are looking for aren't there yet, but it is being added to all the time.

Does it cover Ashton Under Lyne? If so, I've got a really high brick wall???
I have a Thomas Hague (1806 - 1884) from Hurst area of Ashton Under Lyne - he was baptised at St. Michaels.
He was married to an Ann?? (c.1806 - ?) from Ashton Under Lyne
As far as I can find, their first child was born in 1833...... so am looking for a marriage between 1825 - 1833??
Ann first appears in the 1851 census, so I suppose its also a possibility she could have been his second wife? So she could have married Thomas up to 1851?
Is there anything for Thomas around that time?
Hope that all makes sense???
Thanks in advance!

Hi Mike,
You need a copy of the parish register entry. I think that Manchester library have them, also Lancashire Records Office at Preston. You could contact LRO: http://www.lancashire.gov.uk/education/record_office/ - they may have a facility for you to order a copy over the phone.

Hi Tracy,
Sorry it doesn't cover Ashton. Did they have children after the start of civil registration in 1837? If so, it would probably be worth getting the birth certificate of one of the younger children so that you know the mother's maiden name.

I wonder if you can find a marriage for an Elizabeth Hughes. All I know so far is that she had an illegitimate daughter in 1752, so I guess anytime in the following 20 years might be her. She lived in Frodsham, Cheshire.
I wonder if you can also find a marriage for a John Woodward. I know he married a Mary Hughes in 1773, although he appears to have had a child with Mary in 1770 when he was already 36, but there are 5 children born to a John Woodward and an Elizabeth between 1761 and 1768.
Many thanks

Hi Juno,
The records I have access to are only indexes - as you have the exact date you can place an online order with Cheshire Records Office for a copy of the parish register entry for a small fee. You should get the witnesses (although they may be parish officials) but you are unlikely to get the parents names unless they happen to be the witnesses.
Hope this helps,

Hi Lizzie,
I assume this is the baptism of the illegitimate child:
15th October 1752, Mary daughter of Elizabeth HUGHES of Overton, base begot.
I can't see anything in the general indexes, and for Frodsham the next marriage is this:
2nd April 1782 John LEWIS of St Oswalds, Chester m Elizabeth HUGHES by licence
This for John:
27th Feb 1759 John WOODWARD m Elizabeth PARSON by licence at Frodsham St Lawrence

Any use?
Nothing for a Joseph to an Ellen
Jean
-
Thats the one that fooled me! :(
I had a whole family based on that entry, because they have a son, James, born 1812, which is what I need, but their son died in Hulme Manchester in 1818.
The other- Joseph and Ellen , also have a son it seems born 1812 and baptised in Rostherne, but I cannot find anything more about them. No marriage or other children at Rostherne.
Thank you anyway.
-
Thanks Jean. If it is the same Elizabeth Hughes she would have been quite old to marry in 1782, 30 years after having her illegitimate child Mary, but I suppose anything is possible.
Thank you also for finding the marriage between John Woodward and Elizabeth Parson in 1759. Their first child was actually born in 1760, not 1761 as I said previously. I don't suppose we'll ever know if it is my 4 x g.grandfather's first marriage, but it seems possible that he would have married at age 25 the first time and then found himself a widow with 4 children and re-married Mary Hughes my 4 x g.grandmother.

Hi Chris
Very grateful for any help - I have found John Dudley on the 1841 Census in Audlem, Nantwich, Cheshire (parish of Dodcott Cum Wilkesley), b c1779. His son Thomas and daughter Elizabeth are with him. John is a widower. His son, John, moved to London, married and brought up his family there - he was born c1813 so I am looking for his father John's marriage probably pre1813 but I don't know if there were any other children born earlier.
Many thanks

Hi Pearly22,
I think that you may find the baptisms of the children at Audlem to John & Martha DUDLEY are here:
http://www.csc.liv.ac.uk/~cprdb/
It also has a possible marriage:
John DUDLEY, bachelor of Audlem m Martha HIGGINS, Sp of Audlem 31 Dec 1804 at Audlem by Banns - witnesses John DUDLEY and William HIGGINS
If you think this is the right family you may be able to find a considerable amount of information as there are a number of Dudley events at Audlem.
The burial of Martha DUDLEY aged 55 of Dodcott cum Wilkesley 2 Jan 1836 is also there, + the burial of John DUDLEY of Dodcott aged 79 4 Sep 1859
Hope this helps,

There are a couple of possibles. I have looked through Rostherne, and Knutsford, now Lymm, but i suppose without the mothers name you can never be sure with such a common name.

Hi Susan and a warm welcome to the site.
Anthony OLERENSHAW of Hyde m Ann OGDEN of Wer. 20 May 1832 at Stockport by licence.
You may get more useful details (witnesses) if you apply to Cheshire records office for a copy of the marriage register entry (charges on the website)
http://www.cheshireeast.gov.uk/leisure_and_culture/record_office/online_shop.aspx
The marriage would have been at Stockport St Mary which was the parish church. I'm not sure what the [Wer] would stand for on Ann's place of residence, possibly Werneth.
You may also be able to get information from the marriage licence, more information here:

Hi Juno
Just looking thru Cheshire info. Joseph Massey - was he the son of Hamnet and Sara from Rostherne.
helkar
-
Ah....... Yes there is a Joseph son of Hamlet & Sara, born 1784, he died in Hulme and was a tailor there, some details on the registers for Christ Church Hulme. of his death and other childen.
Then there is a Joseph son of George &Suzannah Peak born 1767 -1832, not married on my list so no children --but who knows? I am becoming quite bewildered by the comings and goings and the names---oh for a Clint & or Elvis.
everyone in this family must have a cousin and an aunt or uncle of the same name.
-
Obviously you know the family......
I go along the line of Esther, 1798 daughter of Hamnet and Mary.
Very interesting looking at the three generations of Massey - all similar names. Even Esther's daughter is Esther!!!!
helkar
-
Hi ,
I dont think I have her listed. Is she the daughter of Hamlet & Mary peers/Parr?
I am going over them all again becuse I attributed my line to Jospeh Massey of Hulme whose son James was born in 1811, I have only discovered after all these years --10-12, that that James died in hulme aged 6 years old, and was butied there.
Although they continued to have later children baptised at Rostherne.
I suppose the ones that died had to be buried quickly. Where as they could have a little trip back to Rosthenre for a baptismal party!.
So I am left looking for a James Massey born c 1812, born in the area, alive after the 1851 census,when he seems to have dissappeared. and of course I dont know who his father is. The marriage certificate dosnt show the fathers names.,
There are a few James Massey's born c1810, but its just making the connection---correctly this time.

Hi Chris -
I wonder if you might have a marriage record for a William Ellams (born c. 1768 died 1844) and Mary ? (born around 1785). The marriage likely took place in Mary's birthplace of Alvanley, but may have been at Frodsham (they lived and raised their children in Helsby). The marriage probably took place around 1807, but may have been a year or two earlier. (Of course, they may not have married officially at all.) William was a small farmer-agricultural labourer.
Thanks a lot! Best regards, Anne. ;D

Hello Jean,
Thank you for the news on George Massey & Mary Pimlotte/Pimblott
I have stayed up half the night working on this!, George & Mary Pimblott had 3 children beofre he died in 1786 it seems.
Only one was a son - John Massey born Nether Knutsford 1782. The great uncle to George left his widow some money in 1791, but he didnt say how many of the children were alive at that point.
Could I beg you to look up any possible marriages for John Massey say about 1810? please in the Knutsford area.
Thank you for your efforts, it has been a great help in sorting some of this family. There are several in Knutsford who seem to have been shoemakers, and may be related in some way, its just finding the right connections.
I am very wary of making the same mistake...

Hi Juno,
Nothing obvious for this, what was the date of the will and does it give her first name?
Jean
-
hello Jean
The will was that of John Peak, gent of Manchester late of Knutsford. dated 15 October 1791, to Mary Massey widow of my late nephew George Massey.
It was a right off , for money borrowed.....
So I think you are right in that -it is Mary Pimlott.

Thanks Joan for your help with the John Challinor/Chaloner marriage, that was great but his son James was married as Chaloner to Anne Sinker in 1852 at Over. Three sons were married as Chaloner then the rest were Challinor, didn't think to look under different spellings ! I tried Anne Sinker and up came James Chaloner. So thank you for that sugestion too.

Hi Jean,
Could be the right Chandley and I've got something wrong :-[
I got the name from the 1851 census, where George Birkett (who I'm interested in) is resident with Sarah Chandley and is shown as her brother. I therefore assumed she was another Birkett.

On the 1851 census Elizabeth and James Turner living in Warrington had the following children Mary A b1838 James b 1840 William b 1846 and Alice b 1849 so I presume they were married before 1837 Elizabeth states that she was born in Warrington and James in Newchurch Lancs I have tried the Lancashire OLPC with no luck and the IGI also no sign of them in the 1841 census. Any ideas would be appreciated, Thank you Chris.

Hi,
Would it be possible for you to check if you have a marriage for a Thomas Woolley and Elizabeth ? in Malpas, Cheshire about 1790, I would be grateful for any help.
Many thanks, Carol

Hi Beth, thanks for that but according to the 1851 census Elizabeth was born in 1817 so she would have only been 9 in 1826 unless her age was given wrongly. I have sent for her death certificate as she died in 1854 so that will give me her age. I may have to send for her daughters birth certificate and hope that it gives her maiden name, thanks so much, Chris.

Hi Chris,
I've looked and can only see the marriage that Beth posted earlier. I think that it would be a good idea to get the birth certificate of one of the children anyway to be certain - Turner is a common name and it would be easy to follow the wrong family.

Hello Chris.
I have a marriage certiciate for a James Massey to a Hannah Massey at Lymm PC in August 1852,
I believe the groom to be 40 years old and the bride 21.
Their fathers are given as James- William Massey, Shoemaker, and Hannahs as Joseph Massey, Shoemaker.
I have found a couple of baptisims for James Masseys in the area in the same period 1800-1815, but they dont seem to be this man.
Can you check in the Knutsford area if there are any marriages for William Massey, and the Jospeh Massey. so I can look for baptisims in the right parish. I have been through the Rosthenre register, but the one I found there died as a small child.
A further James Massey who died in Knutsford 1890 was actually living and working in Timperley in the various census.
Thank you
I have posted this request somewhere else but cannot find it now!

I have just found another baptism that may be another of their children in 1779, could I ask if you could have another look say between 1777 and 1779 please.

Looks very interesting and the date would fit.... Elizabeth could have come from Bunbury.... looks like I need a trip to Chester.
Thanks for your help

I can't remember whether I've asked you this before, as my husband's late brother had already researched the place and date of the marriage. What I'd like to know is if any parents or witnesses are listed.
The marriage was between Richard Whittaker and Susannah Moss and took place on 28 June 1795 at Stockport Parish Church, Cheshire.
Many thanks

Hi Creamcake, I saw in your query that you had a Thomas Wooley in your tree, I have a Anne Wooley who married Edward Dutton and had my ggggrandmother Martha Dutton b 1808 at Bunbury s this any relation to your Thomas ? all my ancestors were baptised and married at Saint Boniface. Regards Chris.

Hi Lizzie,
The information I have is only from an index, but I have checked the marriage and it does say that Susannah was a spinster and Richard was a hatter.
As you have the exact date you might want to order a photocopy of the parish register entry from Cheshire Records Office:

Hi Jean
Many thanks for that. Yes Richard was definitely a Hatter, as were his descendants until the late 1950s. I'll order the parish register entry as you suggest.
Lizzie

Hi Lizzie,
I'm at Stockport Library this afternoon, would you like me to look at this marriage entry for you.
Pat

Pat
Yes please, although I have just ordered a copy, only cost £1 plus 45p postage, so if it doesn't give any info, it hasn't broken the bank.
We would like to know if Richard's parents (or father at least) are mentioned and if it states where Susannah comes from (and maybe her father). He died in 1836, so isn't on the 1841 census, but as far as we know he was born in Cheshire. However, Susannah, who we think died in the mid 1840s is on the 1841 census and it shows she was not born in County.
Lizzie
ps. I wonder if there are any marriage bonds or similar available?
-
There never seems to be much more info on these earlier marriages other than witnesses but you could be lucky.
I don't know much about bonds, I'll ask at the library.
Be in touch later.
Pat.

Thanks Pat
Not sure why I'm not getting notifications for this topic, so only just seen your last response. when I came back to Rootschat.
Lizzie

I had a problem this morning, got a notification which indicated a reply from you and was in actual fact my own message coming back. Must be gremlins in the works.
I had a look at the marriage entry, unfortunately there is nothing more to add to what you already know exept that they were married by banns and both made x's
The witness, just one, was James Clarkson and as he's on a lot of the other marriages as witness I think he was a church official.
Sorry I didn't get to you before you'd ordered the copy from Cheshire.
Pat
-
Thanks for looking Pat. As I've only paid out £1.45 for a copy of the parish record, it doesn't really matter that I didn't see your offer to look at the library before I spent my money ::) It's always nice to have "official" paperwork in any case.
Lizzie
ps. Still didn't get the notification about your posting, although I had one from a thread that I started - very strange.
-
Pat
Just done a search on the 1841 census for James Clarkson, there were two both aged 50, both living in Stockport, but one was a Parish Clerk, so I guess he's the witness.
Lizzie
-
Yes Lizzie, I thought he must be.
As for the notification I think you didn't get one about my posting because I got it instead. Why I would get my own post back, haven't a clue. Perhaps I did something wrong.
Anyway it seems to be OK now.
Pat.

I'm locking this topic as it is too long and is causing problems with notifications etc.
If you have a Cheshire pre 1837 marriage request please post it on the lookup board as a separate thread.
Thanks
Jean
