Hi,
I've gone through ALOT of my great Nana's photographs today.
they are very old and some of them have notes on the back of them so i am very interested to find out who the people are in the photos and how they know each other! :)
this photo had a note on the back for,
Mr Curzon
26 (or) 6, Princes St
Wharton
Winsford
Cheshire
i have found alot of Curzon's on my family tree! but god knows if this is one of them or what year this was taken :(
hopefully someone might be able to piece this together x
-
I htink the address might be Princess St - I can find a place by that name in Wharton (and in 1911 there are numerous Curzons there, if not in No 26!) but no Princes St
-
Hi, It is Princess Street. I have also looked at the census for 1881, 1891, 1901 and 1911 for numbers 6 and 26. There is no Curzon at those addresses, plenty of them at other numbers. My ancestors also came from Wharton - Hulse and Cookson.

Not sure if it helps but there is a Philip Curzon born 1880 and Selina born 1883 living at 28, Princess Street in 1939.

This is a long shot. Looking at the handwriting, is it possible that Mr is a shortened form of John? On the 1891 census there is a John Curzon aged 45 saltmaker living at 66 Princess St with his family.

Thank you very much, that makes so much more sence now and i have matched it to the person on my ancestry tree. i'm just wondering, do you have any idea what the name says at the bottom? i can only make out "J"
-
I am pleased you have managed to llnk the photo with your family tree. The signature could possibly be T Davies.

I have had another look at the signature. It could also be I Davies. My great grandfather Isaac also wrote his first name with an unusual looking I.

Hello, I would like to hear from some Cheshire Curzon relatives. My 5th Grandmother was born in Over in 1773 and married Owen Boden. I had a fellow write to me from MyHeritage and all he said is "If you can follow Hannah's ancestors you will find interesting information." I know there are some important Curzons from Derbyshire and Penn but can't find too much on our bunch. Please message me if you can help.

Hi, How far have you been able to go back? My ancestors were Hulse but I have had a look and found a baptism for Hannah Curzon 20/03/1773 parents Richard and Abigail. There is a marriage of Richard Curzon and Abigail Hickson on 20/05/1766 at Over by licence witnesses Thomas Hale and Joseph Maddock. This licence was taken out on 20/05/1766. Richard was a mariner and Abigail's father was Richard Hickson a saltboiler. There is also a baptism for Richard Curzon 17/03/1771 parents Richard and Abigail. Hope this helps

Hi Susan
Yes it does help and confirms what I found on Ancestry. I don't always trust information from other trees unless there is good proof. Now I hope I can link them to other Curzons further back. I'm going to write the fellow who messaged me and beg for answers. :D
I'm on Ancestry under Norene Cawthorn Reaume.
Talk soon,
Norene

Hi,
It has been some time since I have been on Roots Chat. Recently I have been chasing down a few brick walls, one of which namely a William Curzon, father to Horatio Curzon & GGF to one John Meir Curzon (my 2nd G Grand Uncle). I have William Curzon marrying Jane Manly 25 Nov 1830, St. Margaret's, Wolstanton, Staffordshire. England, which contradicts that which is shown on a Ancestry tree. I would like if possible clarification of that marriage of William & Elizabeth. William was a China Painter. I am willing to share what information I have.
I am trying, without success to see if there is a link to the Curzons of Keddleston Hall.
Regards,
Paul Webb (Aus) (*)

Hello,
I'm very sorry for the delayed reply! I didn't realise i had any messages! If anyone is searching for Curzons and might think we have the same links, please message me so i get an email notification! :)
I've not looked into the Curzon family on Ancestry for a while but my Great Nana Such has a photo album, she lived till she was 100 years old and now i have the box of photos, with John Curzon being one of them and maybe more? (no names on the back of the photos though), it's really interesting, some of the photos look really old!!
Good luck :)

The photo was taken after 1902 as that was when the divided back postcards were introduced in the U.K. It also says "12/6 (price) Bronze, as per copy" and signed T. Davies....which would have been written and signed by the photographer.
