Completed Census Requests / Stalybridge census look-up/s needed to break through brickwall
« on: Thursday 05 August 04 12:16 BST (UK)  »
Could someone please check either the 1841,51 and 61 Stalybridge censuses (or even one of them) for Sarah Hartley.

Sarah was b. ~ 1808 in Heckmondwicke, Yorkshire and was m. to John Hartley. John was a cordwainer and they would have 2 sons Thomas b. 1841 and William b. 1843.

I think john was still alive in 1861 as the marriage certificate of William in 1863 does not indicate him as deceased.

If I can find the family on any of these censuses it will start breaking a long standing wall and I would be most grateful.

Completed Census Requests / details of Hartley shops in Stalybridge 1920's-30's
« on: Thursday 29 July 04 11:43 BST (UK)  »
Several of my Hartley relatives had shops in Stalybridge and if you know of them you may be able to break my brickwall.

Elizabeth Ann Bardsley (Nee Hartley), the daughter of Harry and Eliza Jane Hartley (nee Wright), ran a Drapers Shop at 33 High Street, Stalybridge.

Emily Fielding (nee Hartley), aunt of above daughter of William and Sarah Ann Hartley (Nee seagar), ran a Sweetshop/tobacconist next door to Elizabeth Ann's drapers.

Florence Saxon (Nee Hartley), sister of above, ran a grocers shop on High Street, Stalybridge.

Ernest Hartley had an Antiques shop.

These Hartley's are all descendant of John and Sarah Hartley (nee Wilkinson). John was a cordwainer and presumably had a shop in Stalybridge at some point. Although I can find a marriage for John and Sarah and then Sarah on the 1871 census I have no other details for them hence my brickwall.

Lancashire / Shawcross in Irlam, Gorton and Ashton-under-Lyne
« on: Thursday 29 July 04 03:12 BST (UK)  »
I have trace my family back to Peter and Ann Shawcross nee Edgerley. Peter was b. Irlam about 1800 and Ann in Flixton in 1808.

Their eldest son James was b, Irlam 1825. I am descended from the second son William b. 1828 in Gorton.

William m. Aves Wilkinson 20 August 1849 in Manchester Cathedral. By 1881 their son Alfred had moved to Ashton-under-Lyne. The family were originally on Albion St but later moved to Hope Street in the Hurst area of Ashton where they had several houses. They also had houses on the neighbouring streets .... Princess Street, Whiteacre Rd. etc

I have an extensive list of relatives on rootsweb but would like to contact more and break the brickwall of Peter and Ann.
