The Common Room / Re: Looking for a husband ! George aka William Higgison in 1861 and 1871 ?
« on: Wednesday 01 April 15 11:23 BST (UK)  »
1862 birth Cert of Charles: Everton Gardens - Wm. is a General Salesman no mention of Mason in Charles name field, mother Mary Formerly Gibson

1864 birth Cert Ellen Mason b Chesterfield Wm. is an Auctioneer mother as above

1866 birth Mary E, Preston - is this the Mary Ann in 1871? Yes and all other info is same as Ellen Mason

1871 Albert b Preston  Birth Cert Wm is General Dealer, marriage (1900) says father is George William, Auctioner.  By then Albert is calling himself John Albert.

1874 Hannah b Preston Marriage entry 1895 Wm. is an Auctioneer

1878 Julia b Preston

William died in the Workhouse 23rd December 1906, occupation Hardware Salesman.  There is an official alteration to his age on his death cert. - originally given as 74 (presumably by Wm himself on admission to the Workhouse) which ties in with the Birmingham baptism I have, but his children had it changed to 'about 68' which is closer to the 21 on his marriage certificate.

I'm very grateful for all the effort everyone has put in - this brick wall WILL be broken!

We're not the same person - but we do know each other and I happened to mentioned to las camellias about the problems I was having with George.  When I saw the query on here I decided I would try and find his wife Mary.  They are both proving very elusive and as they are direct ancestors I need to fill this gap to continue the line.

I think I might have to start checking the 1861 Census against a street map to see if any areas are missing.  It wouldn't be the first time it has happened...

Lancashire / Re: Fishwick Yard

Thank you again.  I have a copy of the marriage certificate which definitely says Fishwick Yard - the LancsOPC record is an LDS transcription - so I always try to find the original record.

Thank you so much for your help. Friargate makes sense as her husband's address was Back Lane.  The family seems to have been itinerant and are not settled until the 1871 Census when they live in Swarbricks Court and later Chews Yard. On her marriage certificate Mary Gibson gives her address as Fishwick Yard and occupation Housekeeper which I took to be living at home with her father Thomas (occupation shopkeeper).  However I cannot find Thomas in either 1851 or 1861.

Lancashire / Fishwick Yard

Does anyone know whereabouts Fishwick Yard or Fishwick's Yard was in Preston.  It was the address of one of my ancestors on her marriage certificate in 1859.  Also her marriage was 'by certificate' solemnised in the Parish Church - can anyone explain the significance of this?

Lancashire / Preston St Mary's Register
« on: Friday 13 March 15 21:23 GMT (UK)  »
Does anyone have a legible transcript of Preston St Mary's Baptism Register 1857 (14th June) Page 3 Entry no 17.

I don't need a photocopy, just the information from the register which should be William Beckett's baptism, but if it's someone else I'd still like to know. 

Thank you

Thank you.

I've located all of these in the 1871 Census, so it seems Annie wasn't registered.

Berkshire / Annie Lawrence in Thatcham
« on: Thursday 23 October 14 16:09 BST (UK)  »
I'm looking for the birth of Annie Lawrence in about 1865.  She appears in the 1871 Census aged 6 in the family of William and Eliza Lawrence, and in 1881 and 1891 in the same family. She married John Timms in 1895.  However she appears not to have been baptised until 01 November 1879.  Can anyone tell me if her age appears in the baptism record. And any suggestions about finding her birth?  Any help will be much appreciated - thank you.
