Lancashire / Re: Ancestry of Thomas LOMAS (abt 1819-)
« on: Saturday 03 June 23 17:37 BST (UK)  »
I am interested in Lomases (and Lomaxes) in the northwest of England, particularly around Chapel-en-le-Frith and Macclesfield.
This Thomas LOMAS is not a direct ancestor of mine.
I haven't made any progress with his origin and parents.

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: Offence in prison record

Tx, I agree, it looks like Drunk Rtous Beh at Salford. I've not seen similar terms on adjacent pages.

It would have been much more interesting if his brother's father-in-law (boatman) had persuaded this gang to 'do over' his competition, or even 'sort out' the father-in-law'.

But there you go, just a normal Friday night in Salford.

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Offence in prison record
« on: Tuesday 28 July 20 10:58 BST (UK)  »
I'm looking into the story of Joseph Oldfield FLETCHER (1855-1926)

He and his conspirators (Willm McCurry, Thomas Flanagan, John Robottom, Thos Nugent and Edward Conley) were jailed for 7 or 14 days in Strangeways in October 1877 for doing 'something' to a boat in Salford.

His next of kin in this record, brother James, had boatman Samuel BLOOMFIELD as a father-in-law; this might have a bearing on motive.

I can't make out the details. Please would you help out.

The 1841 Census in Manchester Family; Thos Lomas 55 Weaver, Ann Lomas  55 &c are there in the 1851 and 1861 censuses. Irritatingly, the places of birth are always 'Lancashire' but a brother called Lewis LOMAS is with the family in 1851 -in 1841 he is a weaver.

Knowing the place of birth would help! I've tried Tottington and surrounds (Bury district) but not found offspring of Thomas LOMAS (esp. Thomas). Not tried 'Manchester'.

I agree, even after looking hard, I've found no baptism for a Thomas son of Thomas in the 1815-1825 timeframe, regardless of location. Baptisms go missing. For the time being, I assume the marriage certificate of Thomas and Catharine, naming the groom's father as Thomas is correct and look for work-arounds. Checking out brothers, sisters, uncles and aunts is probably the way forward.

Thank you everybody!

I can track the family from what you have provided. This Samuel died sometime between the 1851 and 1861 census.
