Hi Stuart,

1935-36 - Nicholas Joseph Shortall, Rose Mary Shortall

Hi Stuart,

I`ll probably be going to the Harris Library sometime this week, I`ll have a look for you unless someone else gets there before me!

Hi,

Re the suicide of William Bleasdale in 1875. If you can access old newspapers there is a report on 8th May, 1875 in the Lancaster Gazette which details what happened to him.

I`ve checked the marriages for St. Wilfreds RC Church for James and Elizabeth but no joy
there.

However, there is a baptism for JOHN CARRIGAN b 20/12/1862 father James Carrigan, mother
Elizabeth Carrigan nee Bracken but no baptisms there for the first 2 children Catherine and Margaret!!

Mo, the way this has been going so far it wouldn`t surprise me if they are in the `missing` bit!

Thanks for the explanation of ES, that clears that one up, many thanks!

Brilliant! I was beginning to doubt whether this was going to be the right family!

Will just throw this one into the mix, I had a `wander` down Mount Pleasant, Preston in the 1861 Census and found this family:-

James Carrigan age 23 (1838) born Ireland
Wife Betsy age 21 born Ireland
Dg Catherine 3 born Preston
Dg Margaret infant born Preston

and
Dennis Caragan boarder age 18 born Ireland
Mary Caragan boarder age 20 born Ireland

I don`t know whether it`s coincidence or whether they are connected to Mary Bleasdale nee Carragan or not but the Mount Pleasant address figures in the marriages of John Bleasdale in 1877 to Elizabeth Wearden and prior to that David Colwell/Elizabeth Bleasdale in 1865.

Checked again in the 1871 but no sign of them...hmmm!!

Radcliffe,

I have no idea what ES in the margin means, just a guess `Evening Service`? Other than that haven`t a clue, perhaps someone else may know?

I`ve been trying to find the family in 1851, Elizabeth and Mary Ann were both born before that census but just can`t find them anywhere...

Glad you found that marriage anyway.

Snap..I`d just noticed the Mary Ann to David Boid (wonder if that is Boyd?). Father William is a labourer but the other one, marriage of Fanny her Father William is a `card master`, just wondering if that is a bit of a leap from labourer to cardmaster in the space of 3 months between the marriages?

Both Mary Ann and Fanny are 19 as well?

I have found a marriage in 1843 in Crosthwaite, Cumberland of a William Bleasdale and Mary Carrigan,
sounds Irish?
Father of William Bleasdale was John Bleasdale (Williams son was named John).
The 1843 marriage would fit in with the births of the 3 children 1846, 1848 and 1852?

This is beginning to annoy me now!!
