Down / Catherine McGlade/John Duffey
« on: Monday 12 July 10 13:59 BST (UK)  »
I'm looking for any details on a Catherine McGlade born about 1826 in Down.  I know her mother was Bridget born about 1781 in Armagh.  She also has a younger sister called Ann born about 1833.

At some stage (probably prior to 1843) Catherine married John Duffey (born abt 1826) and they had 2 children John born 1843 and Henry born 1844, before moving to England, first in the Carlisle area and then the Gateshead area.  They had 3 further children in England.

If anyone has information on the family or happens to see any entries in parish records (likely to be catholic) for them I'd greatly appreciate it.

Kind Regards

Gary

Thanks suzard, that has really helped.  I now know William Davies' parents are James Davies and Maria Williams, I've also found their marriage record in the BMD index (1838 in Holywell).

I've also got some leads on potential parents for James and Maria from baptism records, I should be able to confirm this when I see the marriage details.

As for Harriet, I'm on a short list of potential birth records.  As I've seen no mention of a middle name, I'm really between 2 and I'm fairly sure my Harriet Davies was born in 1864, so I'll probably take a chance on the correct birth cert, I really need a certificate or baptism record for her to find out her mothers name.

I pursued the grandparents you've mentioned a few weeks back, but I gave up as I'm not certain that is the correct family at the moment.  I really need a birth record and the a look at the marriage record for Harriets parents to confirm.

Flintshire / William and Harriet Davies (nee Davies) - Bagilit
« on: Thursday 08 July 10 14:47 BST (UK)  »
I'm looking for any details of William Davies (born abt 1856) and Harriet Davies (born abt 1864), prior to their marriage in St Mary's Church in Bagilit in 1881, they had 5 children most of which were born in Ashton-in-Makerfield.

I know that William's father is James Davies, from memory I think he was a sawyer (I don't have the marriage record to hand).

Harriet's father is Edward Davies and he was a smelter.

I'm 95% certain that Harriet was born in Bagilit, however William may have been somewhere else in Holywell as in the 1891 census their birthplaces differ.  I also suspect they still had family in the area in 1895, as their son Joseph Edward Davies was born in Holywell, as where most of his elder and younger siblings were born in Ashton-in-Makerfield.

If anyone has any information on either of them or can help me narrow down which William Davies I'm looking for I would greatly appreciate it.

I'm sure this is too late for the original poster but for the benefit of anyone reading this late, the Dorothy Sanders from Holywell didn't marry Barnard McCallum. Dorothy Ann Sanders born in Gateshead in 1889  died 1963 also in Gateshead, married Barnard McCallum
