Hi
Can someone help with this please?
I am looking for the parents of my g-g grandfather, James Floy, born Abt 1837 in Buglawton, Macclesfield, Cheshire. He married Ellen Goodwin, born Abt 1844, in Abt 1865 (unconfirmed).
I have him on the 1871 census, but another contact couldn't find him on the 1861 or 1851 census for Cheshire, UK. He believed that James and his family may have been in Derbyshire during this period, but I haven't found them yet.
He did find a record on 1841 for a John FLY (not FLOY), b. 1816, married to Catherine born Ireland, other details unknown. He thought this was James's father because he had a son called James b. 1835 in Buglawton.
I have to say that I am not convinced that John FLY is James's father. The dates for the whole family between 1841 and 1871 do not match.
I would be grateful for you help.
Thanks in anticipation.
