Hi,

Can anyone help or point me in the right direction.

I am looking to find the birth details of a George Johnson B1806 I am unsure of exact area although beileve it is in Staffordshrie. I know that he married in 1839 at St Mary and Alsaints Church in Checkley to a Hannah Crossley B1817.

I am trying to trace this line I do know that George died in March quar.1842 in Cheadle.

Thanks in advance x

Hi

I will write as much I as know that is true and then a few thoughts of my own out loud as it were.

I have been searching for this family line for so long now and am at a loss. The definite information I have on this Samuel Johnson is that he was born in 1838 in Chesterton, Staffordshire, England. and married a Letitia (often misspelt as Lettice, Leticia) Thomas of Mrthyr Tydvil, Wales in 1860 at St Marks Church Shelton Stoke On Trent.

I have found Samuel in the censuses 1861 - living at 163 Wood Street, Hanley East. 1871 aged 34 living christchurch Alsager. and so on.

This is where is gets muddy.

But when I look further back in the census information of 1851 the only Samuel that is a possible I find is a Samuel Johnson aged 14 living at 32 Love Lane, Nantwich, Cheshire possibly born out of wedlock with a household of surname Shenton.

Thomas Shenton aged34 head
Hannah Shenton aged34 wife
Alfed Shenton aged 5 son
Eliza SHenton aged 6 daug
John Shenton aged 3 son
Marg Shenton aged 1 daug
Samuel Johnson aged 14 son?

I did also find a Samuel Johnson whose father was a George Johnson b1806 who married a Hannah ? at St Mary and Alsaints Church, Checkley in 1839. I think that this is my Samuels parents but wondered if anyone can clarify and also what Samuels mothers name was.

As going back to the census record where Samuel was 14 years old.  the Thomas and Hannah mentioned were married in 1843 (so after Samuels birth) at St Mary and St Nicholas CHurch, Nantwich. there names on the marriage cert I believe are Thomas Shenton aged 26 and Hannah Johnson.

This is me just thinking now... did Hannah marry George and have Samuel and then something happened to George so four years later she married Thomas. or is this the wrong George? or wrong Hannah Shenton person? Was Samuel born out of wedlock but still took on fathers name. or was Samuels mother's maiden name Johnson after all and Samuel was born out of wedlock therefore taking his mothers name and if so who are his mothers parents.

Hopw someone can make sense of it all as I seem to be going in circles.
Thanks in advance

HI

Im trying to trace the decendants of a Sarah Jane Stanners b1882 (motherwell) who married (19/06/1908) Robert Hardie c1882 (Ashkirk, Selkirkshire)

I know who their children are -
George 1906,
 Margaret 1909,
 Robert 1911,
 William1912,
 Sarah1914,
 James 1914,
 Thomas1915,
 David 1917,
 Christina 1920,
 Mathew1921,
 Isabella 1923,
 Jessie 1924,
 elizabeth 1925

What I am trying to find is who these people married and what children they had.

They were all born in motherwell.

The reason I am trying to do this is I have been tracing my family line for sometime and the Hardie name appears alot up to present day. My grandmother was Margaret Hardie Walker Cunningham and she married into wallace, and my direct decendants all have Hardie/hardy as a middle name.

She was one of 10 children others were -
Robert
Thomas =Jessie
William=Annie
Andrew=Maeme
Marion=John Mlroy
Eitha(Isia)=Jock Weir
Agnes=David Allison
Mary=Ian WIlson
James=?
Margaret=James Wallace (MY grandparents)

This is the only link I have where christian names seem to match and they are all from Lanarkshire area. My family grew up in Shotts, Whitburn, Lanark etc

So hopefully I can find some march via decendants
thanks in advance
