Hello Phil

Please forgive the very delayed reply - It is wonderful to see the clock!  How fantastic to find another. Do you still have it?  My GG Grandfather Carl Caltenbach passed away in Jan 1909. so he would have been 53 when your clock was made.  My Great grandfather who also worked in the shop would have been 27 and he married my great grandmother Annie 4 days after the clock was made on 28th August 1907!!!    ;D

Hello

I have some brief information from 1841 census I think but not sure where to get more information without subscriptions which I have found a bit expensive! If you could direct me I would be grateful.  Thanks for your prompt reply too!

Hello

I am trying to continue my tree which my grandfather started in the 1970's (without the benefit of the web!!) I have found that one of my ancestors (GGG Grandmother) is Sarah Walshaw b around 1833 (her parents were Winifred Lee and George Walshaw of Heckmondwicke. Sarah married Frank Bruce in 1851 and I am desended from their daughter Winifred Bruce.
Sarah was buried in Heckmondwick cemetry plot sect b #284.  I am interested to find out as much as possible about this side of the family and would be grateful of any help any of you can provide as I am unable to visit West Yorkshire at the moment.

Many Thanks in anticipation.  ;D

Thanks Emma!!

Beever was a middle name handed down to the males in my grandfathers family.  It was a maiden name. This is a picture of Carl Beever Carltenbach later known as Charles Swift.

Many Thanks for your help.  I would never had found this!

Wow thank you so much!!  I did have a hand written note from my granfather deatailing a reference to Carl F Carltenbach being an apprentice to Ranks the Jewellers and he lived in until they moved to Regent Road in Salford and he stayed on to run Carltenbach and Co.  I think I might have got father and son confused a little.  I cannot wait to get my subscription to the documents now.

Many Thanks again
