I want to fire up this thread again. I have found out so much more about the Rutherfords ( with a great deal of help from RootsChat users). Now with such an important family, comprising Mayors, politicians, oil producers (Romania) and war heroes etc. I expect that someone, somewhere has written a book or researched extensively, perhaps from within the family, the Rutherfords and descendants from c1950 and on. I have had so much help from the RootsChat family that I almost expect it now!! This is purely of FH and personal interest.
Over to you. Best wishes to all, Paul

Lancashire / Re: Salford Union Workhouse
« on: Friday 10 January 20 05:49 GMT (UK) »George Emmett was a wool comber, commissioning agent and journeyman so obviously travels. He was on the 1851 and 1871 census but I have been unable to find him anywhere in 1861. I think I have the down on him because of this and because he was a bit of a lad in his youth, stealing his brother's bed and in court for fraud but was found not guilty. I did think maybe records at the workhouse would have given me a hint.
Here comes the pedant. Don't confuse "Journeyman" with "A travelling man" they are not the same. Especially for Family History buffs. A journeyman can work in the same place at the same job for years!

Thank you so very much for your interest and help.
The 1901 census detail you quote are my mob.
Funny thing is I was all over the Probate records to such an extent that I have 3 other rellies with their probate and wills handled by Laurence Edgar Rutherford, Vincent's cousin. I missed Vincent as a Wilson. I thought I'd tried every name combination as the subject title suggests - but no.
Thank you very, very much. You are a great help.

Lancashire / Harold Vincent or Vincent Jackson or Wilson or Rutherford
« on: Thursday 09 January 20 05:47 GMT (UK) »
I am chasing Harold Vincent Jackson b 28 Jan 1889 Manchester who was in the 1891 English Census (after his mum's marriage to James Wilson) Harold V Wilson. He was written as Vincent Wilson a guest at his mum's marriage to Alfred Rutherford in 1899 (Liverpool Echo 20 Apr 1899). After this.....nothing. I've tried nearly everything and no luck. His uncle (Edward Lockett b1871 Isle of Man) was a steward on liners travelling between New York and England so I though maybe he became a 12 yo cabin boy or similar and being under 21 didn't make it to any official list. Yes, I'm clutching at straws but BMDs, Passenger lists, Military lists etc throw up the name variations but none that I could claim as being he. His brother Eric James W Jackson died 13 Jan 1928 and his DC listed him as "Rutherford otherwise Jackson"
So:
Jackson, Harold Vincent or Harold or Vincent
Wilson, Harold Vincent or Harold or Vincent
Rutherford, Harold Vincent or Harold or Vincent
Any ideas? Anyone? Anywhere?
Thanks for reading
Paul

Lancashire Lookup Requests / Re: Mary Ellen Jackson aka Rogers
« on: Friday 05 July 19 08:09 BST (UK) »
Hello all you good people,
after many years of searching I've found my great aunt Mary Ellen Jackson Rogers. She was diguised as Ellen Rogers when she married Edward Lockett in 1893. I know it's her for sure because witnesses on her MC are her sister Elizabeth Ann Wilson and her bro-in-law James Wilson. Also mentioned is her father Edward Jackson, Butcher, late of Manchester and Tideswell. Can't get more confirmed than that.
Hint : I came to research the Locketts because they were witnesses to the (second) marriage of Elizabeth Ann to Alfred Rutherford. So don't ignore anyone, witnesses to marriages, informants on death certs or neighbours on a census page.
Thank you one and all for all the help I've been given on these pages.
