Lancashire Lookup Requests / Gathorne
« on: Saturday 06 January 24 00:18 GMT (UK)  »
I am looking into the early Gathorne family (1640-1700) in Manchester and Salford. Anyone got any of this family on their trees? I am trying to unravel some very complex relationships as outlined in the Court Leet and Port Moot records of Manchester and Salford but I have hit a wall. If only I could find the will of Miles Gathorne (1687), which Ancestry says exists but the records office says it doesn't!

Lancashire Lookup Requests / Myles Liptrott, Wigan/Prescot area, 1600
« on: Wednesday 12 May 21 12:05 BST (UK)  »
I am looking for any info on Mr Liptrott other than what is readily available in the most easily accessible records. The family seem to flit around south Lancashire from Charnock to Liverpool. Any unpublished stuff more than welcome!

Thanks in advance.

Lancashire Lookup Requests / Plymouth Bridge and Cottages, Chorley
« on: Saturday 23 January 21 20:13 GMT (UK)  »
Does anyone have an idea as to when these names were given? Plymouth Bridge seems to span the River Yarrow which itself marks the parish boundary, so it could appear in old parish documents.

Thanks in advance.

Cheshire Lookup Requests / Steele of Barthomley
« on: Thursday 10 May 18 13:04 BST (UK)  »
I am researching my Steele ancestry, and I have a branch from the 1600's that live in Claycroft in Barthomley. I have been unable to find the location of Claycroft, so any help would be great.

Thanks in advance!

Is there any info on the victims of the massacre of Barthomley residents in their church by Royalist troops on Christmas Eve 1643?

Cheshire Lookup Requests / Alsagers of Barthomley, Winterley, and Radwell Green
« on: Tuesday 06 February 18 13:25 GMT (UK)  »
This might be a long shot, but I am researching a branch of my family that leads to Margaret Alsager, who married John Brereton in Barthomley church in 1597. I have the IGI data, BMD info, but the wills from this era are so difficult to read!

Has anyone got an Alsagers of Alsager family tree from the 16th and 17th centuries? Anyone good at translating Elizabethan writing?

Glamorganshire Lookup Requests / Palmer Family, Uplands, Swansea
« on: Sunday 26 March 17 15:10 BST (UK)  »
I am looking for info on the Palmer family that had a grocers' shop on Bernard Street in Uplands. I am particularly interested in Henry Ernest Palmer who lived there in the 1960's. His mother was my great aunt Florence who died in 1960.

Thanks in advance,
Geoff in USA.

Yorkshire (West Riding) Lookup Requests / Benjamin Nowell, Dewsbury.
« on: Tuesday 15 November 16 01:42 GMT (UK)  »
If anyone is in the neighborhood of Dewsbury Parish Church, I would love some indication of the burial and memorial information of Benjamin Nowell, b. about 1734, stone mason. I would like to know when he died, age of death, and any relatives mentioned in memorials and gravestones. I live in the US and have no access to Deswbury.

Lancashire Lookup Requests / Ashworth in Didsbury
« on: Friday 11 November 16 12:23 GMT (UK)  »
I have found a burial, James Ashworth, buried 8 August 1772, son of James Ashworth of Burnage. The entry suggests James was a child, and I do have a couple of marriages that might fit for James the father. However, I can find no information on the baptism of the child. The name of the mother is critical to my research, so any assistance would be really appreciated.

I live in the US so I don't have access to the physical records.

Thanks in advance,
Geoff
