Staffordshire Lookup Requests / Re: 1861 lookup MOLLART in Tunstall

I haven't come across anyone surnamed Rivers yet - I wonder why your William's middle name would have been Mollart if it wasn't his mother's maiden name?  Perhaps a more distant connection?

If the names & ages roughly match, I'd believe that was a conceivable spelling of the surname, although I certainly haven't seen that one before!

Staffordshire Lookup Requests / 1861 lookup MOLLART in Tunstall
« on: Friday 17 December 04 19:12 GMT (UK)  »
Would somebody be so kind as to look up the following family for me in Duke St, Tunstall in 1861?  In 1871 they were in Duke St in Tunstall (in 1848 they were in Queen St in Tunstall but I think they were unlikely to be still there in 1861 as a child was born at Fenton in 1854).  They were almost certainly in Tunstall somewhere in 1861, as they had children there in 1860 & 1865.  The surname might be written Mollard or Mollatt or possibly other variants as well as Mollart.  The ages below are what I'd expect them to be in 1861.

William Mollart 37 coal miner b. Bagnall, STaffs
Jane Mollart 31 wife b. Biddulph, staffs
known children:
Mary Ann 12 b. Tunstall
Hannah 7 b. Fenton
Ellen 3 b. Tunstall
William 1 b. Tunstall

Duke St - how interesting, that's where William & Jane's daughter Mary Ann had her second child in 1869 although she was in Challinors Buildings in 1871.

Thanks very much Francesca, I'm sure that's the right lot.  Spelling was nothing if not erratic in those days - they turned up once as Mollort as well.

Lancashire / Re: Lancs Record Office look up??

If you have the exact date and church the LRO will look it up for you themselves free of charge via email and send you what details you are missing, if they haven't got the original registers what you will get is the Bishop's Transcript entry.  It's been very useful to me and they get back within a few days.

Of course - I didn't think Mollart was such a common name it'd be necessary.  The family in 1881 was
William Mollart 56 b. Bagnall Staffs collier so b. 1825
Jane 54 wife b. Biddulph Staffs so b. 1827
William son 20 b. Tunstall collier so b. 1861
Rachel daur 15 b. Tunstall transferrer b. 1866
Emily daur 8 b. Tunstall b. 1873
9 Challinors Bdgs, Wolstanton (I think in fact Challinors Buildings is or was in Tunstall)

Would someone mind checking if the family of William and Jane Mollart were living at 9 Challinors Buildings Wolstanton in 1871, as they were in 1881?  And if so, details of their household? (in 1865 one of the daughters was married at Christ Church, Tunstall and living in Tunstall, presumably with the family, if this helps)

Staffordshire / Re: work house look up staffordshire 1890
« on: Friday 12 November 04 20:45 GMT (UK)  »
It is quite a common name, but what I didn't mention is that Margaret Ford had two other children, Mary E Ford and Joseph Ford, who were old enough to miss going into the workhouse by being employed.  Joseph was born about 1875 in Tunstall from the census - registration looks like Sept quarter 1874 from freeBMD - so it is quite possible from the dates that he could have been your brother-in-law's grandfather, if I've understood correctly.  The last I know of my Joseph Ford is the 1901 census when he was single and a boarder at 20 Hall St, Tunstall, so no Hanley connection unless he moved there later.  But Joseph is quite a common name too of course.  He was a coal miner.

Nora, if you are looking at the workhouse records yourself could you by any chance keep an eye out for any references to my relatives who were there close to when yours were?  They are Margaret Ford, who was in the workhouse in 1891 and 1901, her son Patrick, who was there in 1891 and died, presumably there, in 1893, and her daughter Bridget, who was there in 1891 with her mother but got out when she got old enough to work?  I am not sure why Margaret's extended family (her maiden name was Morris) didn't feel able to help support them, not that any of them were rich, when Margaret's husband died.  Her dad Joseph Morris died there too in 1895, but I think it may have been because he had dementia and the family couldn't cope.  Good luck finding your relatives, anyhow, whether or not you have time to check for mine.
