Title: Harriet Jane Dibb
Post by: Allanmt on Monday 11 April 11 19:09 BST (UK)

I am trying to locate information concerning the parents of Harriet Jane Dibb, who was born about 1820 in Ashton-under-Lyme, Lancashire, England. She married William Bootherstone on 28 Jan 1844, at St. John's Church, Parish of Manchester.  I believe that her father's name was Edward Dibb.  Her mother's name is unknown.

Hi Allan,

do you have Harriet in censuses?
In 1851 she says she is born Manchester and if I have the right one (the only one at the moment) she is is Cheshire in 1841 but not born in county and there is a Jane Dibb 66 yrs with her plus perhaps a brother and his family.

I haven't yet looked at further censuses but wondered where you got Ashton under Lyne from?

Heywood:

I have all of the England census from 1851, when Harriet was already married to William Bootherstone.  I recall that I got Ashton under Lyne as being her birth place from my cousin, But you're right, none of the census' identify that as being her birthplace.

I also read your second message.  I did check FamilySearch but came up a blank. It's probably because I was spelling her surname as Harriet, rather than Harriett?

Hi,
I jiust checked other censuses and William is Ashton-u- Lyne in at least one so that is where the information probably came from.

Hope you have found the FS info by now.

best wishes

Yes... Thank you for your help.  Finding anything for my family "Turner/Bootherstone" in the UK beyond the 1800's is really difficult, particularly since I am in the USA.
