Hi,

I am trying to gather as much information as possible about John Ryan and his family b 1861 and working in Salford in 1901 as a Furnace Labourer.

Many Thanks,
Ian

Hi Christopher,
Many thanks for that information, I will enter it into my family research data program.

Hi Deb,
Many thanks for that info, there does appear to have been a great many BAKERS in Devon in the 19th century, but I don't think I can see a connection between my branch and those you have listed. I'll keep the information in case something turns up at a later date.
Once again, thanks for your help.
Regards,
Ian.

Hi
Can any one help me to find more information about my 3 x Gt Grandparents via the 1841 census?  I have their marriage cert which shows they married in Colyton Parish Church on 4th October 1843. The info I have is as follows,,
John Baker.  born Farway Devon circa 1811.  Father Henry Baker, Farmer.
Mary Ann Martin.  born Broadclist circa 1811.  Father, Anthony Martin, Labourer.
Where were they in 1841, who are the mothers and siblings etc.
Also, in 1861, My 2 x Gt Grandmother, ( Mary Ann Baker ) at the age of 13, was not listed as a student but as a Lacemaker. Even more surprising, her younger sister, Harriett at the age of just 9 was also described as a Lacemaker. It does explain why, at the age of 38, 25 years later, my Gt Gt Grandmother signed her marriage cert with a X.  Was the Colyton area known for  hand made lace in the mid 19th century ?
Many thanks,
Ian,
Cumbria.

Hi Donna,
When you were searching for Peter Street did you come accross his son, (my GT GT Grandfather) SAMUEL ?? He was born in Warrington in 1814 and would have been 27 in 1841.  The earliest Census record I have found is 1871 when, aged 57 he was a Beer House Keeper at 33 Crown Street, Hulme, Manchester and living with his wife, ELLEN (nee Smith) and 2 sons.
Regards,
Ian Headford.
