Lancashire Lookup Requests / Coleman/Barrett/Chadwick – Oldham/Manchester area
« on: Monday 05 December 11 06:51 GMT (UK)  »
Hi
 I am looking for any descendants of Eliza Coleman b:c1891 in Oldham to Patrick Coleman and Mary(nee Joyce); her siblings were James, John, Annie and Thomas.  Eliza had a maternal aunt called Annie who brought her up after her parents died, Annie’s maiden name was Joyce but her married names were Barrett and Chadwick; it seems the family called her Auntie Barrett. Annie lived in Harding St in Oldham. Eliza’s paternal grandmother was Eliza Mellet/Mallet.
 I would love to know more about Eliza, who she married and if she had children and grandchildren. Any information appreciated.

Flintshire / Re: Price Family of Plas Winter near Halkyn
« on: Monday 29 March 10 03:48 BST (UK)  »
Hi Fallows,

As you have just started on family history I thought it might be worth mentioning that names (especially unusual ones) as well as other info., are often wrongly transcribed by someone in the chain, so have an open mind. Also its easier to build up information from the present and work backwards, so if you have info on Sarah and Shem's children or grandchildren it can sometimes be easier for someone to find them on census or parish registers.

Lancashire / Oldham - missing districts 1891?
« on: Monday 25 August 08 03:57 BST (UK)  »
Hi

I wonder if any one knows anything about the 1891 census of Oldham? I have a subscription to Ancestry and I can't find some of my family. In the list of enumeraiton districts for oldham below town numbers 28 to 39 are missing. I suspect it is in these areas where my family was living. Does this mean that only Ancestry hasn't got them and that they could be available somewhere else or does it mean the records are missing all together? Why do they list a census as being complete if some is missing? I'd appreciate any info :)

Cheers

Census and Resource Discussion / Re: Good News ! 1911 Census!
« on: Monday 25 August 08 03:36 BST (UK)  »
Hi

I have not been paying attention to the info on the 1911 census, ( I thought it was a long way off) but these pages have sparked my interest. I looked at the website and have read through a few of these pages, but I am still not sure - what is it that you can gain access to 2009? How is the census going to be gradually introduced? I hope a don't sound 'a bit thick'. But if some one can explain simply I'd appreciate it. ::)

Cheers

The Common Room / Re: Wanted - My Ancestor was a Murderer!
« on: Tuesday 19 August 08 04:32 BST (UK)  »
Hi

I have an ancestor who was allegedly murdered at age 18 in the North of England. The family story was that he was murdered, although there were no further details. Some time again while looking through the Wiganworld website I was very luckt to come across a transcribed newspaper report of a body found in 1890 which was that of my gg uncle. However, because the body was found quite mutilated near a railway track the police were assuming it was some sort of accident, though they said it was mysterious and were waiting for the coroner. I haven't been able to find anything else such as an inquest or coroner's report, but I can send you a copy of the article if you would like it.
Cheers
