This lady as got me totally baffled.  According to her death certificate  in the name of Patience Emily Cookson sometimes Hart died 05.06.1942 and she lived at 74 Ainsworth Road Radcliffe M26.  Her daughter Martha A Cookson registered the death. She was 54 so birth 1888.

She also had a son Joseph Hart 30.01.1928 in Middlesborough father named as Robert Hart registered by P Hart mother.

In 1939 she is registered on the England and Wales register as living in Bury under the name of Hart

I have been unable to find a birth or any census for her.  As she died as Cookson it looks like she never married Hart.

I have not managed to find either her or Robert Hart hope you can help.

I am looking for this lady for a friend.  Agnes Jane Bisset was from Lochrutton in Scotand prior to making her home in Bury.  She was on the 1911 census living with her Aunt and Uncle surname Stoba.  What I am trying to locate are the parish registers for the Congregational Church (Now United Reformed) Rochdale New Road Bury's marriage registers.  Bury archives haven't got it and neither as the new United Reformed Church.

The marriage I am looking for is John Donaldson Ashworth too Agnes Jane Bisset December quarter 1913 too see if it gives her father's name.

Any help you can give would be appreciated

Can any of you kind people help me with this photo.  All these on the photo now long gone but all special to me in my childhood.

Hello I am just wondering if someone can help me with a conundrum.

Thomas Ridgley was born 1868/1869 in West Bromwich according to the 1881 census.  His mother was Fanny Ridgley 1835 (single) who is recorded as housekeeper for Joseph Truss 1833 (married)  There are also two children Clara & Maria Truss  aged 8 & 10 respectively. Page Number: 30
Registration Number:   RG11 Piece/Folio:2863/17

I can't find a 1871 census for either Thomas or Fanny Ridgley but Joseph Truss (1831)  as a wife Fanny (1835) wife from West Bromwich the same details as Fanny Ridgley living in Tipton Staffordshire the same as in 1881. There are several children Thomas Truss age 20, Olivia 14, Joseph 9, Thomas King Truss 3, & Maria 0?

I have found the 1841, 1851 and 1861 for Fanny Ridgley living with her parents and siblings but can't find the 1871 or 1891 for Fanny Ridgley or Joseph Truss.

Thomas Ridgley married in Farnworth Nr Prescott 11.04.1891 to Catherine Barrett but cannot find an 1891 census.  He is on the 1901 census at Farnworth near Prescott but at some point they moved to the Manchester area.  I think Thomas might have been in the Manchester workhouse 1910-1911 as there was a Thomas Ridgley admitted.  Thomas's wife Catherine (1867 born in Widnes area) on 1911 census was working in service in Cheetham Manchester.  The couple had three children John James (1894) Daniel (1897) and Joseph (1900)  Joseph in 1911 was living with Catherine's sister Bridget and Patrick Kerwin her husband.  Daniel I think may have been in Fazackerley hospital/school?  I haven't found John James but he turned up again and married in Radcliffe in 1921 as did his brother Joseph.

I can't get my head round whether Joseph Truss was his father?  Where was he on the missing censuses?

Any information and help you can give me to unravel this mystery would be appreciated.
