Lancashire Lookup Requests / 1851 Unfilmed census - Salford / Manchester
« on: Tuesday 05 August 08 09:54 BST (UK)  »
 :)
Hello, big favour to ask.

Please could you do some look ups for me on your copies of the unfilmed census pages - probably Salford, I think?

I am looking for:
1) Sarah GRIFFITHs,
born abt 1834 Warrington (though in 1881 she said Manchester), father John. She married in 1854 and I have never found her under her maiden name yet.

2) Charles and Lucy HYDE and family.
They were at Boundary Road, Salford Trinity in 1841, and at 3, Coopers Court, Queen Street, Salford Trinity in 1861.

If any people with the surname SELLERS - or even CELLERS - are living with Charles and Lucy, they are children of her first marriage. I am interested in Thomas, Robert and Richard. So please would you also check separately for:

3) Robert SELLERS
born abt 1830, Cooper's Court Salford
In 1841 he was at Boundary Road with Charles and Lucy. In 1861 he was at 1, Providence Place, Salford.

All the Lancashire birth and death certificates I have had so far for this branch of the family have been from Regent Road and Greengates, so I am hopeful they may be on your census pieces.

Very grateful for your offer of help. I shall send you a PM as well - when I've explored again how I do that!  :-\

Many thanks and best wishes,

Edwina

 :D Hello again, Kath! I see you have acquired another useful resource. Hope it is full of FEWELLs for you.

I am looking for all my usual suspects. For now, please would you have a look for WARRICKERs / WORICKERs/ WORACRES / WARWICKERs or any other variants for me?

Many thanks.

Travelling People / WHITTLE family fairground connection
« on: Thursday 10 July 08 22:46 BST (UK)  »
Hello All,

This is my first posting to this section of the message board.

My mother-in-law (born 1906) had aunts or uncles who were brothers and sisters of her mother. They owned a travelling fairground. She spent many childhood holidays with them. The fairground family was well off. Her aunt had a fur coat and lots of gold jewellery.

My mother-in-law's mother's maiden name was WHITTLE, and I know from marriage certificates, 1881 census etc, that she was born in Hillingdon / Uxbridge and that her father, George WHITTLE, was a canal boatman, born Bromsgrove Worcestershire about 1830. Presumably he worked on the Grand Union Canal.

I would be very interested to know whether anyone has come across a) a WHITTLE fairground or b) a WHITTLE girl who married into a fairground family.

My sister-in-law also has a vague and perhaps unreliable memory that my mother-in-law's brothers sometimes helped out at the fairground. This makes me think the fair must have travelled around in the London / Middlesex area.

Edwina
PS. I am NOT after the fur coat or the gold jewellery 8)

Essex / Re: Little Waltham Marriages 1754-1812
« on: Tuesday 01 July 08 12:14 BST (UK)  »
Hi, Kath,

You are sneaking posts onto this board under my nose!! Have just spotted this Little Waltham posting.

There was an eccentric vicar at Great Waltham in the final years of the 18th and early years of the 19th century. He was very anti-drink, and would refuse to marry anyone who had been drinking or christen anyone whose parents had been drinking. He had running feuds with various people and often refused to unlock the church.

When I finish my present project, I am planning to write an article on him for the newsletter / magazine of the  Essex Family History Society (unless anyone beats me to it). This will probably not be until New Year 2009 now, at the rate I am going.

I was wondering if this would explain why some people from Great Waltham might have been Bap-d, Mar-d or Bur-d in Little Waltham. At the vicar's trial it was said that parishioners often had to go to neighbouring churches, because he was so awkward.

Am looking out for your list of available surnames.

Best wishes,

Edwina
