Cheshire / Re: Burial St Peters Congleton

Thanks for the response, yes indeed I meant a headstone. Many of my ancestors in other places did not have headstones and some were in unmarked pauper graves. In those cases records were not kept at the church and I had to find the local council and that was an area I know - but I dont know Congleton so if they are kept at the church there, I will get in touch with them thanks

I have a burial date of 25 Nov 1866 for my ancestor Thomas Hall. Can anyone tell me where I can find out if there is a grave for him at St Peters

Cheshire / Congleton or Biddulph address
« on: Thursday 23 November 17 14:22 GMT (UK) »
My ancestors were from Biddulph and Congleton. On 1861 census they lived in Congleton. Thomas Hall died in 1865. The death certificate shows New Road, Biddulph as place of death. I cannot find "New Road" today and wonder if it disappeared or was renamed. His family were living in Congleton on the 1871 census. Could the death place be somewhere other than their home during this period. I saw that Biddulph Grange was a hospital at one time but that was later. Has anyone heard of New Road Biddulph. I recently came up to Congleton and most of the addresses recorded in my notes are still there, havent been to Biddulph yet. Also does anyone know where the forges were in Congleton around 1861

Thanks for the responses. The Macanulty children are Timothys. The Grady children are Michaels. I ended up with Catharine Grady married to both Michael and George on my tree which is where I started to look at it again and likewise I had Margaret McNulty married to both Timothy and Edward because I traced the children through BMD. I didnt have Edwards marriage so got that now, thanks

Firstly Millipede thank you. You are correct that Margaret married James Duddy and her brother and sister lived with her in 1871 and I can see Mary and John on the later censuses. My problem is 1861 I cant find anything for them but George and Catherine appear with children John and Mary of the same age. I have checked the bmd and I can't find two lots of children in Westleigh which is where they lived. I have found the deaths for Michael in 1865 and Catharine 1863 on the bmd. I did not find and entry on bmd for George but what I did find was an entry for a coal mine death for George in October 1865 (same as Michael). this is why I think Michael and George are the same person. I realise the ages are different but I have come across this before. With regard to Timothy, as you have seen from the 1851 census in Boothstown there are many children with the same name and ages as Edward(Shady) in 1861 and 1871 when Timothy has disappeared. So I think Timothy is Edward and Michael is George and they are brothers. I have not yet found the marriage of Edward in 1889 so thanks for that

Lancashire / Census - name changes Mattimore

I have been doing my family tree for many years but keep going back checking names. I check between census entries and births/deaths details. This is a strange one. I have Michael Mattimore in Boothstown Lancashire 1851. Cannot find the family in 1861 but he died in Oct/Dec 1865 Westleigh. Wife Catherine died 1863. Now in 1861 I do find a George married to Catherine in Westleigh with children of same name. There is a death for George and he died in October 1865. I think this may be the same person. Also have Timothy Mattimore in 1851 in Boothstown not on any other census year, but there is a family of Edward(Shady) Mattimore all the children have the same names so I am thinking Timothy became Edward. Does this sound feasible. I have spent hours on this - there are no deaths for the ones that disappeared and it is very odd that both have children with same names born around same time
