ColC,

Thanks for your suggestion.  Mary Snow married John Blakeley and after his death married Dennis Irlam.  She died in 1889, Barton Upon Irwell.  Fortunately she was easy to trace.

Thank for taking the time to look.

Thank you Heywood.  I didn't know that Catherine and Caroline might be interchangeable.

It is entirely possible that that the baptism dates I found were late. Noted the burial entry below John Blakeley and Caroline Snow.  Joseph Snow, wife Jane, son Peter (died) 1807, George 1812, John 1816. Think we must be looking at the same document. I do have a brother, Joseph, to Mary Snow but he was baptized about 1797 in Manchester, I think.  That would have made him about 10 when this Peter died so i dismissed it as a Snow family I am researching.  Also the fact that earlier born children were buried with parents but Caroline was buried alone beside this grave, seemed unlikely.

I have no doubt they are probably related in some way, but cannot figure out how.  The lack of parents names on church marriage registrations makes it difficult as well.

Thank you your time and consideration

Have located a burial for John Blakeley, Jan 24, 1851 in the above cemetery.  He is buried with a young girl, Caroline Snow, Apr 15 1817.
Although they appear to have nothing in common, John married a Mary Snow, Dec 21, 1828 in Prestwich.  Mary Snow was baptized June 5 1808 at St. Chad, Cheetham Hill, parents George and Ann or Nancy (Brown) Snow.  As far as I can tell George and Ann had their first child in 1790 and regularly at 3 or 4 years apart.  Mary was the last born in 1809, is it probable that Caroline Snow born about 1813 was another child in that family that John Blakeley was interred in the same plot?  Caroline's abode was listed as Swarsbrook St. on the burial transcription.  Have been unable to find anything related to that as well.

Any suggestions on where I can find information or burial protocols for the time period?  Thanks.

Cheshire / Re: Place of birth, Hatton or Hutton and is this anywhere near Lymm?

Thank you for your replies. William (b 1796) was married in Lymm 1821 to Betty Jackson (daughter of Thomas Jackson and Betty Brazendale).  His marriage entry shows he was living in that parish when married. His wife Betty (Jackson) Jackson had a brother Thomas, born 1802, who later became the land agent, so Thomas would have been the brother-in-law to William and believe he was a witness to the marriage.

Anything I have found involves Statham, other than this 1851 census, yet no baptism in Lymm can be found. FindMyPast has 46 entries for a William baptism (in Cheshire) between 1794 and 1798, CPRP database has fewer entries, Ancestry has 49, none of these in Lymm.  Maybe he was never baptized?  I have another couple in Lymm that claimed they were born there, research says they were born in Manchester area, so I am inclined to be skeptical.

Is there a good map of Cheshire where I can widen the circle from Lymm and possibly match closer parishes with the baptism entries?

Thanks again for your help.

Have a William Jackson born abt 1796 on the 1851 census of Lymm.  Clip attached.  Subsequent census he lists himself as born Lymm.  Can anyone verify the writing of place of birth.  Understand Hatton didn't have a parish church, what would be the most likely place for a baptism?

Thanks in advance.

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Notation on RC baptism record

Could use some suggestions on if this contains Latin or a mixture with English. The lady was baptized in 1878 so this was added to the record quite some time later.

Somerset / Re: Legal marriage age 1767

Thank you all for your responses, I have learned a great deal.

Putting together all my notes may have given me an answer. The groom’s mother had given land earlier for the building of a non conformist chapel. The bride’s father was the assistant Rev in that chapel some years later. From an article by Stephen Tuck, the bride’s father was “remarkable for eccentricity” and led a secession from this chapel. Thinking this may have been the connection. Will definitely need to transcribe the will.

What a web this turned out to be when looking for a birthdate.

Thank you all again for your help.

Thank you majm. The entry only says married by license with parents consent. The bride and groom both signed and I believe the bride’s father was a witness. Assume that met any legal requirements. The bride remarried in 1772 with no mention of consent so I will assume her estimated birthdate is close.

I do have the first husband’s will. It is 9 pages of extremely cramped writing and illegible in spots. Will have to tackle it in hopes of some insight.

Thank you again.

Judy
