Census and Resource Discussion / 1921 Census - Missing Households in Oldham

« on: Monday 22 April 24 13:47 BST (UK) »

Hi there

I couldn't find my grandfather, his siblings, mother and gran in the 1921 census. His mother remarried in Dec 1921 so have her address at that time and looked for this street - there are two households on that street in the 1911 census that don't have returns in 1921.

The family were mill workers and cleaners so don't expect they were abroad at the time.

Any explanation?!

Cheers

Lancashire / Oldham Council - Burial Records

« on: Thursday 12 August 21 18:08 BST (UK) »

Hi there - quick question:

Does Oldham Council have burial records online these days? They were working on it a few years ago I believe.

If so, anybody got the link to their website?

Lancashire / Catholic Burials in Hyndburn

« on: Thursday 25 February 21 14:28 GMT (UK) »

Hi all

Found that my Irish great aunt lived in Church after marrying, and died there in 1953. I assume she had a Catholic funeral, so where could she possibly be buried in the area?

Lancashire / Catholic Baptisms around 1900

« on: Friday 19 February 21 08:52 GMT (UK) »

Hi there - below are the baptism entries for siblings around 1900 in the Sacred Heart RC Church in Accrington (from the wonderful LAN-OPC website):

Baptism: 21 Aug 1898 Sacred Heart, Accrington, Lancashire, England
Gulielmus Parkinson - filius Ricardi Parkinson & Birgittae (formerly Hickey)
Born: 3 Aug 1898
Godparents: Patrinus Patritius Collins; Matrina Maria Anna Hennessey

Baptism: 12 May 1901 Sacred Heart, Accrington, Lancashire, England
Anna Parkinson - filia Ricardi Parkinson & Birgittae (formerly Hickey)
Born: 30 Apr 1901
Godparents: Patrinus Ricardus Jackson; Matrina Helena Hickey

(1) Around 1900, in Lancs in the RC would you expect the Godparents to be married, so the Godmother's maiden name is shown?

(2) Most name are shown in Latin (?) but is Helena translated? If so what is the English name?

Hi there

I've found Henry BRATLEY in census records, and the 1939 Register has has birth date as 14 Feb 1868, but I can't find any birth or baptism records for him.

Can anyone help with this?!

Season's greetings
