Lancashire / Re: Looking for greenhalgh relatives.
« on: Saturday 12 May 12 22:39 BST (UK) »
Hi Lucykin,
Thank you for your email. I am afraid I cannot connect Jim or Peter with the Greenhalghs on my tree and to-date have not found my relatives in Solihull. Mine seemed to keep close in Radcliffe and Blackpool. It is a difficult one, the Greenhalgh name, there are so many Greenhalghs in that part of the country. Many thanks for your contact - you just never know were a connection will pop up. Wishing you good luck on the family tree hunt. kind regards, Angela.

Joanna - Hi....I know now where we both fit in 
I just so love meeting new relatives. We quite rightly have to be aware on this forum, not to quote living family members full names, so to talk more freely I am going to send you via 'personal message' my contact details (I only live in Lincolnshire ...so we are quite close). I am not clever with these computers so if you do not get my details in the next couple of days..pls tell me through this forum. RIGHT..HERE WE GO..."son of William Calverley, son of frederick Calverley, son of the diary writer"... Your William is my dads older brother! My dad died 30 years ago and was Walter Calverley, living in Sittingbourne, so your husband Michael/Brian is my 1st cousin, so you and I are 1st cousins in-law. To follow the tree up a bit, ('cause I have loads to tell you and cannot get it all on here), your William and my Dad Walter...are children of Frederick and Kate Calverley. William had a brother Walter who died in London about 23years old and a sister Mary Annie, last appears on 1891 census in Darlington and possibly ('Mary A' not 'Mary Annie') in Newcastle on the 1901 census then nothing more known. Frederick Clarkson Calverley was born out of wedlock - thus birth certificate reads -Frederick Clarkson but he took/was given, the name Calverley, as the BAPTISM record names him Calverley and his mum - Mary Ann Clarkson married William Calverley in Mickley, 4 weeks after little Frederick was born. I have the various certificates and certainly, by the various census records she at some point is no longer with William (two more children were born after Frederick...Selina and Caroline. Two other little girls were born in Hunslet and died in infancy. At least Mary Ann returns to Mickley but William dissappears from any record I can find in England. I have searched long and hard over a few years but cannot find another census or a death record for William in England, BUT, a William Calverley of the right age turns up in America - Allegenny, Pennsylvania, at the right time after dissappearing here, and dies about the right time that Mary Ann is listed as a widow - on the next census..coincidence or ?? Also remember his Auntie Elizabeth Clarkson (married to a Goodyear had earlier gone to America, as had one, possibly two of his brothers ! There is so much more to talk about...so I will send you my contact details. The family go from sittingbourne to darlington to mickley to spofforth to hampswaite, and if I am right - to kildwick, and then to Calverley Village. Hope to talk soon, cousin Angela.
THANK YOU ALSO "CALVERLEY LAD" - BRIAN. I have some of the Hampswaite info but will check for more up-dates. Which branch of the family are you on? Thank you for your help. Angela.

Hi William Calverley, can you give a little more info..is your message from a joanna calverley or are you asking about joanna calverley. I do not have a joanna on my tree - I think - I have been busy with my hubbie's family tree for a while and the little grey cells get muddled! Still cannot locate Marie Annie Calverley. But I believe I have found more on Nathaniel. Being unable to confirm the info on Nathaniel as written on the patrick-smith pedigree.....I cast my net wider and now feel confident that he was born in Kildwick (later moving to Hampsthwaite), I traced Nathaniel's family through the Kidwick (nr.Skipton) parish registers to a Mary Wilson marrying a William Calverley and found a reference to this couple in the Calverley village parish registers under a section on the Calverley family of Calverley. So I now think we come back from Hampsthwaite to Calverley village BUT via Kildwick (nr.Skipton) not Pannel and Rothwell. I have found another family branch, as it appears the Selina Calverley who married Thomas Farmery in Darlington had another child - Lucy Clarkson Calverley. Found purely by luck while studying long lists of names. Lucy sadly died young. ..she did marry and have a child.......the line continued.
Would like to know where you are on the tree, as always happy to talk to Calverley family members, as I missed out so much on knowing the Calverley side of my family for so long. My tree is on Ancestry: Angela's family tree 1 and Angela's family tree. It needs a lot of up-dating though with recent discoveries as I keep most of it on a family tree maker record and a written record. Lots of hand written trees in files! Thank you for contacting me. Angela White

Lancashire / Re: Looking for greenhalgh relatives.
« on: Friday 11 June 10 11:22 BST (UK) »
Hello Ellysa, I cannot connect James Nathaniel to the family on my tree (but have not found all children born to the children of Samuel and Hannah Eliza Greenhalgh). I havn'nt heard for some while from recent greenhalgh relatives I spoke to a few months back. If they view this post or I hear from them, I shall certainly mention the name and they may recognise it. My Nathaniel McCreary married to Edna Greenhalgh, I have found a lot about recently and he was born in Scotland. I doubt I will research to much further into the Greenhalgh line are they are not direct ancestors of mine - but a sibling line included in my tree as they and my Emerson ancestors of Radcliffe, were very close and much respected and loved by my Mum and Aunt. However, I would still love to speak to anyone connected to the family. I shall keep this post in mind, as you never know when or where a connection will pop-up. I appreciate your difficulty tracing the Greenhalgh name as it is such a popular name in Lancashire - I had a few difficult moments but then some lucky breaks aided by family stories.
If Gill and Keith are reading this - I hope you are both well - I had responded to latest emails (though we have had email problems this end). It would be great to hear from you again.
Thank you all and Take care, Angela.

Hi Gill, This is great! It has been so long without any information from the Greenhalgh family line and now 2 contacts. Thank you so much for responding. I have checked-off your father's siblings on my tree and the only ones on my list not mentioned are: Keith thinks there may have been a Bert and I have Samuel Herbert born 1904 (from the 1911 census completed by Eliza Hannah - your Grandma) Oh. ???Penny has just dropped! Samuel HERBERT! That must be the BERT Keith remembers. So there we go - one more sibling on your list.
I will send you a personal message with my email. I am sure there must be more to be discovered. I have quite a lot I can send you - not to take the fun out of research, but you may like to double check it all anyway.
If you have just started family research - you will love it. So much to be found and it is a joy to find all these people we never knew about. Your Great Grandma (Eliza Hannah's mum) was Elizabeth Pollitt nee Crook and an amazing lady - always there when needed! Your Great Grandad was another Samuel (Samuel Rothwell's Dad) and he was a publican at the Royal Oak on Water Street, Radcliffe. But you may know all this already. If you are on ancestry I can show you my tree, if not, I am getting my husband to show me how to send the relevant sections to you and Keith. Talk soon on Private message. Take care. Angela.

Hi Keith,
Thank you for getting back to me . I tried yesterday to send some information thru Private Message - wether due to my computer (giving a few problems lately - will replace after Christmas) or because of any limits on the reply field? I had difficulty and sent the message in two parts. Think you did not get the 1st part
When I tried to send the message it said -already sent - but I do not think it did.
Any way, I was giving you some more earlier generations and explaining that I will work out how to send you the part of my tree that may be of interest. I should be able to select that section and email it to you somehow. I will apply my husband to the problem.
We do this 'tree' stuff as a bit of a double-act 
Hubby is the wizard on the technical stuff with the computer and I am good at the reasearch bit which Hubby does not have the patience for 
- Anyway - hope to talk soon. Take care, Angela.

Oh - This is wonderful news. For so long I have not been able to locate much information from the Greenhalgh side of the family. I do have quite a lot of information coming down from Eliza Hannah Greenhalgh (nee Pollitt)'s sister Elizabeth Ellen Pollitt who married Abraham Emerson a violinist in Manchester and Blackpool (also soldier) my Great Grandmother and Great Grandfather. These two sister's were the daughters of Thomas Pollitt (a butcher in Radcliffe) and Elizabeth Pollitt (nee Crook) a wonderful lady who always seemed to be there when the family needed help- bereavements etc. There is proberbly too much to go into here if you are interested in my sibling line, but there is also some info going back from your Eliza and Samual. It may be best to look for my tree (Angela's Family Tree' a public tree on Ancestry - just use Eliza Hannah Greenhalgh as a search) and perhaps I can guest you in or send my email through 'private message' if you would like to discuss this in more detail.
I know I have a mother and aunt still living who have fond memories of visits with the Greenhalgh side of the family in Radcliffe and would love to know more about the family - as after they moved south they very much lost touch with the Greenhalghs. I must end know as about to be decended on by decorators - so may be a slight delay in getting back to you but very excited at this news. ttfn angela.

Durham / Re: what happened to Mary Annie Calverley?
« on: Wednesday 27 May 09 11:40 BST (UK) » Hello PatThank you for getting back to me so quickly with your source information. You have given me a boost!
It is easy to get bogged down with looking for one source and butting a sore head against the same immovable brick wall. I shall now cast my research net a bit further.
Visiting these locations recently; Pannal is much modernized and built up around (being only just off a major highway into Harrowgate I guess. But Kirkby Overblow and Hampsthwaite appear very much as they have been for ages past. I looked for the Churches and had a wander in the graveyards but of course for the period we are looking at - the stones are long gone or the engraving long since weathered away. It was lovely to walk in the footsteps of and gain a visual perspective of the family's meanderings.
Thank you so much for the info. Take care. Angela.
