Cheshire Lookup Requests / Re: 1871 Census Look-up Alfred Dodd

You could be right Heywood! I think these are the correct Maddock family.
Martha was a couple of years older than William and she was born in Gresford.
Many thanks for looking them up for me.😊

I have had another look at the 1871 Census for Liverpool RG10/3755 seen by David. Where there is a 17 year old Alfred as a grocers assistant for George Wall.
The birth place of previous people on the list is Liverpool, with ditto, ditto down the list. There is a possibility that it was done in error, and this could be the correct Alfred. But it seems a long way to travel for a job when most of the family have been involved in local farm work.

 I could find an Alfred aged 25 in Liverpool in the 1881 census and he was a bookbinder living with his family,but his age is a bit out to be the grocers assistant.

There is still the question of Ellen missing in 1871. She was also known as Nellie, but I had no luck finding her under this name either 🤔

Thank you for your response to my initial enquiry about Alfred in 1871 census.
 My reasons for trying to find him were prompted by discovering from the 1891 census RG 12/2837 that his son Albert was born in Manchester, Lancs. Northwich had been crossed out. In 1901 census Northwich was again stated as the place of birth. This could of course be an error.

I was wondering if Alfred could have been in Manchester in 1871 moved back to Northwich, and returned to Manchester when Albert was born. I have found a possible baptism for Albert for 27th June 1883 St James, Collyhurst, 12, Hannah Street. There is also a large gap between the children's ages from Albert in 1883 to Fred in 1892, which seems unusual.

As far as I know David, there is no connection with Liverpool. I wondered at the relationship between the Maddocks, it is possible they were related.

Heywood had found a possible link with Ellen in Lancashire in 1871. It wouldn't be in Manchester by any chance?

Thanks for the info Colin, that would explain why I couldn’t find Alfred.

Please could someone kindly look up Alfred Dodd on the 1871 census?
He was with his family in the Northwich area in the 1861 Census RG 9/2602, aged 7 years.

So far I have been unable to find him.
Many thanks.

Derbyshire Lookup Requests / Re: 1851 Derbyshire Census - query revisited after 14 yrs and still stumped!

Hi Spendlove, DCB, Glenclare and heywood,

I appreciate your help with the Hamson's.

I have discovered some new things about the family. My interest is mainly with the 3 generations of Thomas Hamsons ending with my G Grandfather born about 1874 in Leek. He married Josephine Revitt and they were living in Collyhurst, Manchester in 1901.

DCB found Robert and Jane Ball in Manchester at the same time, I looked up Hamilton Street on an old map and it was just around the corner from where my G Grandparents were married on Whitley Street. Also, my G Grandfather's brother Henry 'Harry' Hamson was living at 138 Hamilton Street.

They obviously moved to Manchester for work, and it is surprising to find them living so close to each other.

Rosina's possible birthplace as Middleton in 1853, is interesting as it is only a few miles away from Collyhurst.  ::)

Hi Spendlove,
Thank you for looking into the Hamson family for me.

I had found Mary Jane's birth, but not discovered Ann on 1871 census of Leek. Is there an address for them?
The 1861 Leek census states Ann was b in Nantwich, Cheshire. But it was transcribed as Preston, Lancs in the 1871 census which you found.

Also, in 1861 the spelling of Thomas senior's birthplace as Boulton, Lancashire not Bolton could also be an error. Is there a possibility it could be Boulton, Derby?

Rosina 'Harrison's place of birth on the BMD.org is interesting as I know Middleton near Oldham very well. My assumption that it was Stoney Middleton, Derbyshire could well be incorrect. Thank you for pointing out other possibilities.

I have had no luck in finding the marriage of Thomas and Ann, they seemed to move Districts a lot. Their son Thomas was born in Macclesfield so maybe that is a possibility, who knows!

Many thanks again for your help.
Chris  :)

Hi Tony, David and Kay,
Thank you for your help in looking up the Hamson family. I have been trying to sort out all the possibilities that the family maybe transcribed as ‘Harrison’ as discovered by Tony.

The issue I have with this family is that they all seem to have been born in Stafford,  except Emma which is correct as Derby. I know that young Thomas was born in Macclesfield (see Leek census1861-1891) The age of Thomas senior seems a bit off at 25 yrs old, when daughter Sarah is 12 ? Unless she was from a former marriage if Ann’s. I did not know that Ann’s maiden name was Miller, so that is something new. But this could be her first marriage name. She is recorded as being born in Nantwich, Cheshire.

I have found other possible children for the couple in Leek. Eli b 1855, Jane b 1857, Frances b 1859, and Mary Jane b 1862. Eli, Frances and Jane all died in 1859!

I still have a lot of unanswered questions, and I am finding it too tricky to sort out at the moment 🤔

Thanks a lot everyone for your efforts.
Chris
