Lancashire / Burns: Manchester & Fryup,Danby
« on: Friday 25 July 08 17:20 BST (UK)  »
My mothers, mothers name was Burns and they were christened in the Cathedral,Manchester. She later lived in Salford.
The following Member was my great grandmothers brother.
 Robert BURNS,  School Master with his family in 1881 at Great Fryup School Cottage, Danby.
     
 Amelia BURNS     Wife    
 Ricd.Thos. BURNS     Son          
 Robert BURNS     Son                     
 George Edward BURNS     Son                   

    I believe he was still there in1910

The  Fryup school building must still be there?
There were family connections between Salford and Whitby, but they are now 'vanished'.

The name Burns in Manchester is particularly interesting because Frederick Engels was introduced to the horrors of 19th century industrial life by two Burns sisters, one of whom he eventually married. Engels provided a house for the ladies in Manchester.
I  believe that my family are not connected with this story, but the dates are right, and who knows?

England / Rickards
« on: Thursday 24 July 08 14:11 BST (UK)  »
My fathers, father was James Beales Rickards who was married to Maude Mary Clarke. James Beales was born 1880,Birmingham. His father was John Edward Rickards, born 1849, Salisbury, UK. His father was Frederick Rickards born Winndelsham 1823. He married Sussanna Baker Godfrey in 1843 at West Drayton.


James Beales and Maude Mary were divorced. She lived near to Manchester
after WW1. I believe James moved to Leamington Spa.

Both my grandfather and my grandmother came from sizeable family groups.
John Edward married Elizabeth Beales who came from near to Leicester. 

I wish to identify any of the families to which I am related. I do have various names and birth locations.  I now live in France and these connections have acquired a special value for me.
