Lancashire Lookup Requests / Preston/Cummins, Cummings
« on: Sunday 10 August 08 00:12 BST (UK) »
We are looking for Margaret and Peter Cummins/ marriage certificate 1844. Married at St. Wilfrid's RC Church, Preston. They lived on Bedford Street, Preston.
Her father was William Kenny, Courier, Bedford Street, Preston
His father was Peter Cummins, Overlooker, Bow Street, Preston.
William was a Mechanic
Margaret was a cloth reeler.
They had two children:
William in 1846 my great grand father
Peter 1849
We sent for another birth certificate for Mary 1845
We don't think she came to the USA. More children may exist.
We found William and Peter on the US census and were able to go forward to 1930, etc. They settled in Philadelphia, Pa and never left the area.
We have hit a brick wall in Preston, Lancashire and can not, with our limited knowledge figure out how to find them. We called the Records Office and got nowhere.
Hope someone can steer me in the correct direction.
Thank you,
BillyC
