I've been looking at Manchester Burial records and have one of my realtives mode of burial is "re-opening".  Any ideas about what that means.  A relative was buried there over 30 years earlier but no one inbetween.

Having just said I can't find the children I have found their eldest daughter Ellen Jane McGaughey on the IGI. 

It says that Margaret's surname is Semple.

Hi

Thanks for the help!

I found George and Margaret's marriage details on IFHF online yesterday.  It has given me Margarets surname as Simple her father being Samuel a farmer.  George's name is spelt McGaughey and his father was Alexander (the name of George's eldest son) who was a labourer.  They were married on 30 March 1866 at Ballygraney Church.

However I can't find their children but I suppose I should count myself lucky to have found that.

Regards

Hi

I have found that my husband has Irish blood!  However my problem is what the spelling of the name.  I have found them on the 1881, 1891, 1901 and 1911 census living in Durham on each census they spell their name differently McGeaughey, McGaffey and McGeaughery.

Anyone any idea as to which if any of these is the correct spelling?

Thanks

Hello

I have Hannah YARWOOD born about 1839 in Motttram St Andrew, Cheshire.  I cannot find her parents marriage, so must be before 1837.

Please could you check and see if you can find a marriage for

William YARWOOD and Edna HOLT.

(William was born Morley, Cheshire about 1821 and Edna was born Alderley Cheshire about 1817 (daughter of Josiah Holt).

Thank you
Joan

Hi

I am also looking for the marriage of William YARWOOD and Edna HOLT.  There is a record for a William and an Ednah WODHALL in 1839 in Stockport.  Is it possible that Edna was married before she married William YARWOOD?

Regards

Janet

Durham Lookup Requests / Re: Isabell/a Lee b 1843 Shildon

Hi Carol

Thomas Lyall was my husband's ggg grandfather.

Did you ever discover if Thomas and Ann Lee married?  The reason I ask is that I can't find a record of Thomas's death.  The only one that I can see that could be his shows him dying in 1867. 

There is a record of an Ann Lee marrying John Johnson in 1854 but not an Ann Lyall.  Was the daughter Ann Lyall as it says on 1851 census or Ann Lee as on 1861.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

Durham Lookup Requests / Re: Please help: who was living with William and Joseph Armory, Willington in 51/61?
« on: Friday 28 September 07 15:09 BST (UK)  »
Hi Legs

Yes very confusing.  But just to help you with your Joseph, Jonathan and Jane had the other Joseph born abt 1857 but he died I think about 1862.  They went on to name another son Joseph Henry in 1871.  The census searches have been hard work!  They have been transcribed as Armoury, Armour, Armovy and Armery.

It is my husband who is the link but not to the Armory's but the Lyall's.  Anthony is his great x 2 grandfather.  Elizabeth Armory died in 1870 and Anthony went on to marry Mary Ann Nightingale who my husband is descended from. 

I did a bit of Armory research because of the double Lyall link.  Ann Armory is on the 1841 and the 1851 Census living with her father and mother William and Elizabeth.  Not quite sure what the protocol is for the site for giving the page references but if someone could let me know if it is ok then I can forward them to you later.

Ann had 7 brothers and sisters
John 1827
William 1830
Jonathan 1832
Elizabeth 1835
Margaret 1839
Mary 1842

Hope this is of some help
