Hello everyone,

I am trying to find out further details in the Parish Register of St Patricks as above.  I am trying to find out why Margaret Goulden is buried in our family plot which is Roman Catholic in Rochdale.  There are 17 burials in a purchased plot, most are family but I dont know who Margaret is ? I know her maiden name was Butler from a birth certificate of Philip Goulden born in 1850. Various spellings of Goulden, Golding, Goolding etc...

I ordered the death certificate and this states Margaret was the widow of Philip Goulden a rag dealer, he is buried at St Patricks, now the only one I can find is in 1841 Census flag Alley Ludgate St 1851 Dyche or Wyche Street (off Rochdale Rd).  I followed up and ordered the Probate for Philip Goulden who died in 1856 this only gave his two sons names, James Philip Goulden and John Thomas Goulden, also a daughter Honora Goulden, and Margaret Goulden the youngest.  in 1841 there is a Jane Butler 60 years old possible mother of Margaret I think she died 1842 2Q dont know where she is buried, any help appreciated.

I found some Goulden entries at the above church and was hoping for further details to help. I have my tree on ancestry where the Goulden family have been included.

I need a bit more help this time on my East Yorkshire roots.

Just a tiny query really

I have the marriage of William Hunter to Sarah Thompson at Sculcoates on 13 May 1787 and I have not got any further with the Hunter line therein.  So I thought about the witnesses to the marriage who are a Susanna Hall and a Thomas McRhie (McHie) (could be Mckay) and I have the Hunter line downwards...the Thompsons were related to Caius Thompson a merchant and owner of ships.

I know there are Hall relatives as one of the children was baptised

Robert Hall Hunter was baptised 3 July 1791 at Sutton on Hull  son of William and Sarah Hunter (father was a wheelwright)


My question is how can I find out which Susanna Hall is ours being a witness well which can I be sure of ...

Thanks again.   

Hello again having another go at this

For some time I have searched for the lst wife Ann wife of Enoch nee Davi(d)son should be straightforward, but no she isnt!

I have her born 1864 in Stickford Lincolnshire, dau of Abraham and Sarah Davi(d)son. The family moved to the West Riding.  Family 1871 in Wakefield Yorkshire

Ann Davison married Enoch (Harry) Nicholson in Wakefield 25 Dec 1885

Census 1891 at 4 Brook Street Wakefield Yorkshire lst wife with children

Last known child born 25 July 1896 at Mexborough Yorkshire was George Henry Nicholson. He was bpt Hickleton  12 August 1896. Family of colliers.

By 1901 Enoch husband is at Glasshoughton Castleford Yorkshire and 1911 Glasshoughton Castleford listed as a widower. Children and a housekeeper Ann Waddington whom he later married.

I cannot find what happened to the first wife, certainly after 1896 and before 1901. Where did she go?

thank you again...

Hi everyone

I have done research on my friends tree and somehow I dont feel convinced I have the right Sarah Allen.  I have her marriage death and burial, but it is the linking I dont feel 100 per cent with. Wondered if it was a mistake in the register.

I can only find one birth of Sarah Allen (Allan) in Hunslet in 1878 at Myrtle Street this is to a father Joseph and Emma (Emily) Allen. This family from Leicestershire.  I have her on 1901 census and her death in 1933 in Lancashire. Just before the 1939 register which might have given another clue.

My problem is on her marriage certificate to Arthur Burns in Holbeck at St Matthew Holbeck Yorkshire  in 1901 her father is noted as William Allen a mechanic ( the other families were Iron Turners etc.)  Cannot find her on census before 1901 for sure except the other one with the Joseph and Emma Allen. In 1901 she is with her husband to be.  Have I got the wrong Sarah Allen...methinks. thanks to anyone who responds ....
