Staffordshire / PEMBRICK of Hanley?
« on: Saturday 22 May 21 15:54 BST (UK)  »
Has anyone come across the Pembrick name at all? I am trying to find anything about Margaret PEMBRICK (born ca. 1863, died 1931) who, according to the 1901 and 1911 census records was born in Hanley.  By 1884 she was in Garston, Lancs. where she had an illegitimate son - or at least that is where his birthplace is given on census forms. She married William BLACKSHAW in Wilmslow, Cheshire in 1893 and her first-born son became William Henry BLACKSHAW. Her father was listed as Thomas PEMBRICK (deceased) on the marriage certificate.

That is the only information I have on her so any help would be appreciated.

Renfrewshire / GENTLES, PATRICK, SHARPE and SCOTT
« on: Wednesday 19 May 21 11:44 BST (UK)  »
Hi

I have been trying to sort out the early life of my gggranny Agnes GENTLES SHARPE. She was born in Paisley in 1843 though I cannot subsequently find her in any census records until she turns up in London in the 1871 census. Her parents were Janet GENTLES and Andrew SHARPE who married in Paisley and, as far as I know, had all their children there.

She married Alexander STEVENSON SCOTT (1834-1877), an engraver from Edinburgh, in October 1861. They had 6 children. The first, Agnes GENTLES PATRICK SCOTT was born in Duddington in August 1861. I initially doubted this record because of the two dates but have a photograph of the mother and child. By 1866 the family were in London. 

Agnes GENTLES SHARPE was a legatee of Robert PATRICK who was at 4 Bank Street Paisley when he died. Unfortunately I have no will to cast light on the relationship, only financial records. If I have the right one, Robert PATRICK married Agnes GENTLES in Paisley in 1831.

Has anyone got any light they can shed on this consortium of families, clarifying relationships and/or antecedents?

Ireland / William Thompson GRAHAM
« on: Thursday 08 April 21 18:10 BST (UK)  »
I am trying to trace the origins of William Thompson GRAHAM (also known on occasion as Thomas GRAHAM). What I know is that he was born in Ireland about 1858, the son of John GRAHAM (a bootmaker) and by 1891 he was lodging in Pendleton, Lancashire and working as a letter press printer. In the same year he married Jane GUILDFORD (nee WALKER) in Hulme, Manchester and they had 4 children. Jane died in 1900 and William was recorded in the 1901 census as still living in Pendleton with the two eldest children Dora (b. 1893) and Rowland Edwin (b 1894). That is the last I am sure of. Strangely, I can find no trace of the youngest children, Mary Emmeline (b. 1896) and Annie Kathleen (b. 1898) in either the 1901 or the 1911 census. They reappear in Wilmslow, Cheshire when they marry in the 1920s.

I have reached a dead end searching for William Thompson GRAHAM in Ireland. If anyone out there in the wonderful world of RootsChat has come across him I would appreciate any info.

Cheshire Lookup Requests / Abraham BLACKSHAW b 1806/7 Mobberley
« on: Saturday 27 March 21 18:50 GMT (UK)  »
Abraham BLACKSHAW was born the William BLACKSHAW and Hannah WALLEY in Mobberely in 1806/7. Hannah died in 1808 and William remarried (Betty MOLLINEUX) in 1809. William can be found still in Mobberley in the 1841 and 1851 census. It is 1861 before Abraham turns up in a census by which time he is in Wilmslow. He married Sarah BESWICK in Wilmslow in 1831. They had a daughter, Sarah, in 1838 who died in 1847 and another, Sarah Ann, who was born and died in 1848. Sarah BESWICK also died in 1848 and in 1849 Abraham married Mary HEWITT. They had 4 children before Mary died in 1867. There is another Wilmslow marriage (1876) to Elizabeth WARREN that seems to be him as well. The 1881 census has Abraham as 74, wife Elizabeth aged 28 and an Elizabeth PARKER, aged 34, listed as daughter. Elizabeth PARKER is also on Abraham's death certificate as his daughter in 1881. I have a possible Elizabeth BLACKSHAW marrying a James Edwin PARKER in Bury in 1865 but have failed to find any link between her and her father Abraham. If anyone can shed any light on the relationship between Elizabeth and Abraham BLACKSHAW or where he might have been when the 1841 and 1851 census were conducted I would appreciate it.
