Cheshire Completed Lookup Requests / "Completed" jo1962 - macclesfield workhouse deaths
« on: Sunday 16 August 09 06:39 BST (UK)  »
HI jo1962,

just following your instructions on look up offers to make requests here.

wondering if you could look up a James Shaw as a possible macclesfield workhouse death.  James was in that workhouse in 1841 (from the census).  In 1841 he is registered there as being 64 yrs old.

that's about all I have.

thanks very much

« on: Friday 31 July 09 06:47 BST (UK)  »
Hi, hoping someone might be able to have a look through the registers of St Peter's in Prestbury, Macclesfield.  I'm looking for any further details on the marriage of:

Samuel Shaw, stonemason, of Macclesfield to Sarah Mottershead, spinster, of Macclesfiled married on 1/10/1820 at Prestbury.

thanks in advance

Cheshire Completed Lookup Requests / Shaw - brick wall - advice and look up - *COMPLETED*
« on: Wednesday 22 July 09 07:20 BST (UK)  »
Hi Cheshire,

I'm having quite a struggle breaking through this very solid brick wall.  Being in Australia is also making it very difficult.  I'll do my best to keep this as brief as possible.  I'm really very sorry if this post is way outside normal bounds re: length.  I'm hoping someone might be able to assist me.  I have an ancestor James Shaw b 1778 and he is identified in the 1841 census as an inmate of the Macclesfield Union Workshouse, along with his D-in-Law Sarah Shaw (41) and G-son Nathaniel (10).  James had a son Samuel, Nathaniel's Dad and this is where the brick wall begins.  I've not been able to locate anything for a Samuel Shaw that seems to match with Sarah and Nathaniel.  Using the Cheshire P.R.Dbase I've located a possible James married to a Sarah Dutton in 1806 at Audlem and have assumed that as this is the closet match I am able to find, they then had a son Samuel perhaps around that time or a bit later.  Samuel also married a Sarah (or may not have married).  Her surname is not known although I have info via Parkhurst Prison records that as Nathaniel's mother her surname is recorded as Hodgkinson, which means she either remaried sometime between1841 - 1847, or reverted to a maiden name.  I haven't really been able to track that or for that matter confirm the Parkhurst info, it came through to me via other sources.  So...Nathaniel's Dad Samuel is the main problem at this stage.  I just can't seem to find a close match anywhere including through an Ancestry membership.  Can anyone help with advice or even a look up to set me in some direction.

Any help or advice will greatly appreciated.
