Armed Forces / Middlesex Militia 1780's
« on: Tuesday 12 July 11 07:56 BST (UK)  »
Not sure if this is the right board, but I'm trying to find out about the Middlesex Militia (1781) - would all serving privates have come from Middlesex? I have a marriage record in Liverpool that says the groom was a private in the MM. Why would they be based in Lancashire?

I have had some help via the Lancashire Board and was was given a great link to the Westminster Archives site, but am looking for some general background before I start looking for, what I think, will be a needle in a Haystack!

Many thanks for any information you may be able to give.....

Lancashire / Middlesex Militia in Liverpool
« on: Sunday 10 July 11 18:39 BST (UK)  »
Hi,

I have a record for a marriage at St. Nicholas Liverpool in 1781 it states that the groom was serving in the Middlesex Militia. The couple remain in Liverpool and have 5 children - I'm trying to find out where the groom (Thomas Parker) would have come from.  Would there have been a Middlesex regiment in Liverpool  ??? or can anyone of you knowledgeable people out there point me in the right direction!

Thanks,

Karen

Lancashire / Scholar aged 15 - which school?
« on: Thursday 23 July 09 22:54 BST (UK)  »
Can anyone help?! (I'm sure there is someone out there who will know... ;D)

I have an entry from the 1871 census that gives the occupation of a 15 year old boy as Scholar, which seems to be on the upper age limits for the period.

They are living in Merton Road, Bootle. Later on his marriage certificate he gives his occupation as Engineer - I'm trying to find out if I can establish which school he would have attended in 1871, can anyone point me in the right direction  :D

Thank you,

Karen

Lancashire / Isaac Sawrey - Death/Burial
« on: Wednesday 31 December 08 13:58 GMT (UK)  »
Hello Rootschatters,

I am having trouble finding the death/burial of Isaac Sawrey.

The last time I can find him alive is being listed as a Butcher in the 1829 Gores Directory for Liverpool. I can't see him in the 1841,and there are no records of his death on FreeBMD so I'm assuming he passed away between 1829 and 1837. He was born in Hawkeshead in 1766.

Has anyone got any ideas? :-\

Happy New Year to you all  :D

Hi there,

If anyone has access to St Peters Marriage records or is going to the records office, could they please look at the marriage entry for Joseph Parker and Margaret Sawrey on 31 January 1818? I have the entry from the IGI but am looking for any further details.

Many Thanks,

The Common Room / Marriage Settlements
« on: Monday 07 January 08 13:57 GMT (UK)  »
Hello Rootschatters,

I have just received a copy of a marriage settlement for my ggg grandmother and her second husband dated 1869.

Can someone enlighten me as to their purpose or shed some light as to why an agreement may have been drawn up? It's a big document and mentions her fathers will, items of household furniture and chattels, arrangements for her son etc. It's so interesting but I'd love to know why they had one drawn up  :)

I just know someone out there will know!!  ;D ;D

Hi,

I wondered if anyone could have a look at the NBI and see if there are any Purchess burials in Ashton under Lyne.

Thanks in anticipation  :)
