Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Hide and Seek
« on: Thursday 31 January 08 12:50 GMT (UK)  »
My grandmother is hiding somewhere in this photograph (her parents did not approve of canal folk). Can anyone make the photo very clear and sharp so that I can blow it up and try to find her?
I have tried, but cannot make much of an improvement.
Any attempts gratefully accepted.

Hi Tati
Thanks for the prompt reply.
Yes please. I would like the details from the 1891/1901 censuses.

Cheshire / Hilda Hulme
« on: Tuesday 22 January 08 08:48 GMT (UK)  »
Hi everyone
I have found reference to Hilda Hulme (born 1859 Middlewich) in the 1861 (age 2, Pepper Street, Middlewich), in the 1871 (age 13, Pepper street, Middlewich) and 1881 (age 22, domestic servant, Manor Street, Ardwick, Manchester) census reports, but from then onwards I can find nothing. I believe she married, but can find no record. Please can anyone help?

Hi Trish and Cando
Thanks for all your help. I need to digest your research and try to sort out your findings. All help is gratefully accepted. I have learned from experience that nothing should ever be discarded. Another Pierpoint emigrated to Queensland in 1911 (Samuel Pierpoint) - he was my great uncle and a descendant of George Pierpoint.
Many thanks.

Thanks for the info. - I hadn't managed to find George in the 1861 census (I only found him in 1841 and 1851) so the names of the children are useful. I'll look again now that I have the address. Samuel died in Queensland (he is listed in the Queensland BMD).
Again many thanks.

Australia Lookups completed / George PIERPOINT
« on: Monday 21 January 08 21:56 GMT (UK)  »
George Pierpoint was born in Sandbach, Cheshire in 1834. He married Harriett Lewis in 1854. I believe he sailed to Australia from Greenock in 1865 with his family. I have been unable to find out any further details (using free online resources) except that in the Queensland BMD I have found reference to sons Joseph, Louis and John born to the couple in 1870/75.
Does anyone have any knowledge of his descendants or could anyone suggest any resources which might help me trace the family and their descendants?
No-one in the UK has any knowledge of the family.
Please help.

Hi everyone
Thanks a lot for your help. I had put this topic on hold, but I will check through your research and check it against mine. I am determined to solve the mystery somehow, sometime.

Derbyshire / Denby Iron and Coal Company
« on: Wednesday 26 September 07 12:30 BST (UK)  »
My great grandfather James Higginson was a blast furnace manager at the Denby Iron and Coal Company in 1901 (recorded in 1901 census). I am looking for information about the ironworks (and him - I have checked all the census records and IGI). I have found a reference to a book entitled 'Some chapters on the history of Denby' by Mark Fryer, but cannot find the book. Apparently it has information about the Denby Iron and Coal Company with some photos. Does anyone have a copy or know where I can access one? Unfortunately Derbyshire is too far distant to travel - I believe there is a copy in the record office.
