He married a Margaret Dalton in 1868 and had a son William Hunston in 1869.
His parents are James Hunston and Jane Lyons.

Lancashire Lookup Requests / 1901 Census Sarah Burgess Trigg Cannot Find
« on: Thursday 11 May 23 02:11 BST (UK)  »
I have a relative Sarah Burgess born 1843 in Fowlmere Cambridge. Father William Burgess born 1797.
She married a Henry John Trigg in 1864.
In 1871 she is listed as "shoemakers wife" and i think it says Married - markings obscure the comment. There is no mention of Henry John Trigg. Address is Middle St
The 1881 census has her listed as a widow and head of the house  with a John Charnock aa a lodger.
She has child listed as Mary Ann Charnock Trigg.
In 1891 she is still a widow and John Charnock is still a lodger, although i think he id doing more than lodging.
I cannot find her in 1901 nor can i find the John Charnock.
In 1911 they are listed as husband and wife and married 36 years which i think is false as there is a record of them marrying in 1918 - with certificate that shows her deceased father William Burgess.
The 1921 census shows them still together.
I have tried all search combinations in 1901 but so far no luck.Am i missing something here?
Thank you
Regards

The Common Room / Grandchild Not Sure of Parent
« on: Thursday 06 April 23 03:52 BST (UK)  »
In the 1921 census i have listed two parents Mrs Smart (in her 60's) with two children a boy and a girl (aged in their 20's) both are shown as single, last name Smart. There is also a grand daughter listed (aged 6). GRO lists the child as Ida Hall Smart, mother's maiden name is blank.
I assume the child was probably illegitimate from one of the two children but not sure who.
How do i enter the child in ancestry.com? The only relationship i know for sure is to the grand parents.
Thank you

Cheshire Lookup Requests / Annie Woodworth Birth Details
« on: Thursday 05 January 23 17:39 GMT (UK)  »
I am trying to find the birth registration of Annie Woodworth born in Cheshire, the daughter of James Woodworth and his wife Emily Greaves.
The only information i can find is in the 1921 register she is listed as living with her father at 315 Chester Rd Hulme. She is 8 years and 10 months old.
In the 1939 register she is living with John and Bertha Pimlott at 153 Kings Rd. She is listed as age 27.
Probate has her listed as passing 18 Jul 1954. She is buried at the Southern Cemetery in a plot with her father .
I can not find her birth registered in 1912 in FreeBMD or the GRO.
Just to add to the confusion there are two Woodworth brothers who married two Greaves sisters at around the same time.
I am not sure what resources to check.
Thank you

Graveyards and Gravestones / Decipher This Headstone
« on: Sunday 01 January 23 04:22 GMT (UK)  »
Hopefully this is the correct forum.
I have a photograph from the Southern Cemetery Manchester grave 617.
The bottom half of the headstone correlates and i can find the records for Percy Leatherbarrow and wide Ada nee Woodworth.
I can not find correct records for the top section. There is a Record for a Arthur Percival Lane passing April 23 1923 but that does not match the engraving on the headstone.
I cannot find a wife for any Arthur Percival.
Headstone Attached.
Thank you
