Can the brilliant restorers clean up this photo of my late wife. She was about 18 months old in 1943, with her grandfather.

I scanned it at 600dpi to help the restorers. I hope that is good enough.

Seeking assistance to find the birth or baptism of Elizabeth Hassall/Hassell.

The scanty information I have obtained indicates that she was born about 1778 in Chester, Cheshire, OR 1779 in Liverpool, Lancashire(unlikely).

What I am certain about is that she married William Moseley 5th May 1800 in Warmingham, Cheshire. I have the marriage register, and the licence and bonds whereby he and Elizabeth’s father John Hassall paid the five hundred pounds for the licence.

I have tried all the normal routes to try to find the birth/baptism of Elizabeth, but have come up empty.

If anyone can point me in the right direction, I would be very grateful

I am trying to find the date of birth for Mary Stevens Huthnance. The information i have gleaned so far is that she was born in Phillack, Cornwall. One piece of information has her birth as 10 June 1829. Another has her in 1833.

In the 1841 census, in the civil parish of St Phillip & Jacob, she was aged 8.

In 1849, when she arrived in Australia with the rest of the family, she was aged 18

She married George F Nutt at St. Phillips Church Of England, Sydney, New South Wales, in 1850, actual date not known.

She died on 8 March 1869, in Sydney New South Wales, as Mary Stevens Nutt. The death notice  in the Sydney Morning Herald of 9 March 1869, states that she was in her 37th year.

I have tried to find her in the bishops transcripts, and parish records over the period, but have not been able to do so

If any one can point me in the right direction to find her birth or baptism, I would be very grateful.

I have Robert Turnbull, born about 1785 in Kirklinton, Cumberland. I have information that he married Mary Robson 28 Jan 1809, at Nether Denton, Cumberland, as per FHL Film 90613.

According to the information I have, they had 11 children.

The first three I know have Mary Robson as their mother, according to the baptism record. The first son, William was baptised at Nether Denton, 1 Apr 1810, but the second two, Thomas, 20 Nov 1811, and Robert (1) 31 Oct 1813, were baptised at Kirklinton, all showing Mary Robson as the mother.
The rest were all baptised at Kirklinton, but the baptism record only shows the mother as Mary.
The rest of the children were:
John baptised 15 Oct 1815
Robert (2) 19 Oct 1817
Joseph 5 Dec 1819
Robert (3) 16 Dec 1823
Walter 16 Dec 1823
James 29 Jan 1826
Adam 10 Feb 1828
Samuel 14 Sep 1832

If anyone can say that last eight had Mary Robson as the mother, I would be very grateful, as I believe that there was another Robert Turnbull, in the same area, at the same time, married to a Mary. As this information was seen in the very early stages of my genealogy search, I did not take full records, as I was not right across fully recording everything at that time.

I have Joseph Stott marrying Ann Nightingale 8 Feb 1817 at Kirkby Malhamdale, Yorkshire.

The problem I have is, which Ann Nightingale is the correct one?

There is Ann Nightingale baptised 5 June 1791at Dewsbury, All Saints, Yorkshire, with father Thomas Nightingale.

Then I have Ann Warburton Nightingale baptised at Dewsbury, Yorkshire on 3 April 1796, with father Robert Nightingale and mother Elisabeth.

The marriage record I have has Joseph as 31, and Ann as 21, which implies that Ann Warburton is the correct person.

Could some kind Rootschatter  let me know which Ann is the correct one, so that I can write up my tree correctly.
