Hello all.
I have three, 3 x great aunts who just seem to disappear.
First is Mary baptized 25th Dec 1819 at Manchester Cathedral, parent's Jonathan Ogden, a Dyer, and Mary, no further records found.
Second is Martha baptized 20th Oct 1822, ditto, last appears in the 1841 census with parents but wrongly named Matilda.
Third is Elizabeth baptized 1st Jan 1826, ditto, last appears in the 1851 census with mother and eldest brother John W Ogden.
The father Jonathan was a Dyer when baptizing the children but a School Master in 1841. Either of these occupations would normally appear on marriage certificates for the girls, if found, and did on both son's marriages.
But in particular, Family Search have a Mary Ogden buried 25th June 1822, age 2, and parent's Jonathan and Mary but no occupation stated and no image. I am unable to find this record on Ancestry for some reason. So i wondered if some body may be able to find an image or alternative record which confirms this Jonathan's occupation?
There was another similar couple baptizing children at the same time, same Cathedral, but occupation Coal Miner.
Any help would be just great.
Thanks.

Hello folks.
Mary Hannah Walmsley nee Ogden is my GGG Aunt and I have been unable to find her following her marriage in 1860 and baptism of a daughter, Mary Alice, in 1863.
My hope is that this post, and my previous post, may eventually result in contact with her decendants or others interested in her, if any exist, who may be able to assist me.
Thankyou.

Hello.
I have been unable to locate a birth/baptism for my g g grandfather, James Swindells, born in Bolton, Lancashire, according to his Navy discharge papers dated 1846. He joined in 1824 age 17 years.
According to the 1861 census, James, a Greenwich pensioner, aged 54, claims Stockport, Cheshire, as his birth place.
I seem to have drawn a blank in both places.
Any help with this would  be really apreciated.
Thanks.kiwigeoff.

Hello all.
I am researching my wifes Irish family history, she was born in County Louth in 1937.
Although we know a lot about her paternal grandfather, John F (possibly Finbar) Davy, we are unable to locate his burial in 1904.
John was acting as a chauffeur for a Mr Gray and family but it appears that Mr Gray fancied a go at driving himself and whilst approaching Wicklow Town on Marlton Hill where there is a sharp curve a rear wheel calapsed (wooden) and the car rolled over crushing John in the process. The other passengers received only minor injuries apparently. John was taken to Wicklow County Infirmary and died shortly thereafter. The Coroner released his body for burial the same day, the 9th September 1904.
John and his wife, Anne, and 5 children, lived in one room on Clanbrassil Street, Dublin, a fair distance from the accident and I doubt that Anne had any spare cash for either travel or a burial.
Accordingly, I wondered if John was buried as a pauper in a cemetery adjacent to the infirmary and although he was a Catholic this may not have been known.
I wondered if a local genealogist/historian on the forum may have some knowledge of what may have happened to John or where I may be able to find information regarding his burial. Incidentally, John does not appear to have been buried in any of the Dublin South Cemeteries.
If anybody can help it would be really appreciated.
Regards.

Hello all.
Are Irish electoral records available anywhere, preferably online?
My wife was born in 1937 in Milestown, Castlebellingham, County Louth.
The family relocated to Manchester later the same year and my wife would like to establish the address where she was born.
The family have no recollection of the address, above info from birth certificate. We wonder if her parents would be listed sometime during the 1920/40 period.
Thanks. kiwigeoff.
