Cheshire Lookup Requests / Harrison birth record
« on: Saturday 28 April 12 13:18 BST (UK)  »
I'm trying to find the birth reference for my great great grandfather, James Harrison. I know his father is called George (from James' marriage certificate). I think James was born about 1843 ? in Runcorn, Cheshire (from marriage and death certs and all census I've found for him from his marriage in 1865 to death in 1920).

I had thought his parents were George Harrison and Mary Taylor but I've now been given a death certificate (1843) which shows the James I had in my tree died at age 1 month! This same George and Mary had had a previous child James born 1839 died 1841/2 but obviously aren't the right family.

I've sent for a couple of certificates from 1842 and 1843 but father wasn't 'George' on any.

Just wondered if anyone recognises any of these details? Many thanks for reading this.

Staffordshire Lookup Requests / Tipper and Hodgkiss families from Staffordshire
« on: Saturday 08 March 08 21:37 GMT (UK)  »
I would love to hear from anyone who may know anything about the Tipper family from Sedgley and the Hodgkiss family from Bilston.

I'm particularly interest in Daniel Tipper who was married to Nancy Robinson, then Eliza Owen (nee Berry) and finally Selina Hodgkiss. I think his father may have been called James. Selina's parents were William Hodgkiss and Mary Ann Millward.

Selina had several children before she and Daniel finally married, one of whom was Laura. I have been able to find both Selina's birth and death cert, Daniel's death cert and Laura's marriage cert, but can't find marriage cert for Daniel and Selina, or Daniel or Laura's birth certs.

Any help would be appreciated!
