Hi,
I am trying to trace my wife's paternal grandmother and her family. Sarah A. Calvert married Thomas Redmayne in Blackburn in 1911, but so far I have been unable to trace her birth or her parents and siblings.
Is anyone else doing this family? Can anyone provide any information.
Any help, however small, greatly appreciated.
-
E.M. - do you have the marriage certificate? If so what does it reveal about her age, address, father's name and occupation, names of witnesses?
Per Lancashire BMD she was Sarah Alice Calvert and she married Thomas Redmayne at the church of St Leonard, Balderston.

Here's a possibility in the IGI:
SARAH ALICE CALVERT
Birth: 29 JUL 1889
Christening: 25 AUG 1889 Balderston, Lancashire
Parents:
Father: JOHN CALVERT
Mother: MARGARET EMILY

Order the marriage certificate - it will give you both father's names and occupations. You could then check the 1901 census and see if you have a match. Maybe this one....

Good evening all,
Many thanks for your replies. I will order the certificate and see if we have the right one.
Thanks once again
-
I think that's the best thing to do - there are several Thomas Redmayne's about the same age so it will help you narrow him down too.

Hi Laurina,
Many thanks for your help and I hope you don't mind if I ask you a further question.
When you posted the 1891 and 1901 extracts, the 1891 entry shows their address at the time but the 1901 doesn't. Is that because it was not shown on the record?
If it is shown, could you please let me know it.
Many thanks,
Exiled Mancunian

:-[ Opps sorry I didn't realise I'd forgotton that bit.... It is the same place - Hubberstey Fold, Balderstone, Lancashire (slightly different spelling)

You can find John, his wife and two eldest sons are still at this address in 1881 census - look it up on www.familysearch.org - this is a free site.
His farm is 31 1/2 acres.
You do however need to confirm that it's the right Sarah

There is a marriage for John Calvert in 1836 on www.familysearch.org that might be of interest.
You'll also find some births if you take a look.

Exiled Mancunian,
I have attached a list of some of Thomas Redmayne's family.
Please note that the list structure excludes, at any particular level, the other members, and ancestors, of the associated birth family of an individual's spouse.
Regards, R. Paul R(edmayne). Fryer

Good Morning Paul,
Very many thanks for that. It will keep me busy for a while!

Hello - I'm new to Roots but was pointed to this site by via a relative. My mother who is 87 years of age is the niece of Sarah Calvert and I myself have done a little research on the Calvert's of Balderstone. If you need anything further please get back to me and I'll try and help. Regards Marion

Hi Marion,
Thanks for the offer. I shall be blowing the cobwebs off the tree soon and I will be in touch soon after.
Regards,
Chris

I am trying to re-establish contact with merlot123 (Marion) as I did not make contact as promised when she posted in 2009. I tried to make contact by PM but couldn't as her inbox was full.
If she reads this I would be most grateful if she could contact me again.
Failing that does anyone know of her or how to contact her?
Kind regards,
EM
