Many thanks for the information. I will follow up on the details. Apologies for the shortcut mention of Thomas Harrison and Sarah Ann Hampson. Thomas was born 1886 and Sarah Ann Hampson was born 1884. They married in November 1910. Regards, John H.

Cheshire / Ropemakers and Twine Manufacturers
« on: Saturday 05 January 19 03:46 GMT (UK) »
Hello,
I reside in Australia and have been on site a few years ago but am looking for updates on some ancestral history. My great great grandfather was Thomas Harrison born in Cheshire 1842-1924 married to Mary Eliza Miller 1845. He lived in Cheshire and was listed in the 1891 census at Witton, Cheshire as a ropemaker/twine manufacturer. There doesn't seem to be any information on that profession so I know it is a vague area, but if anyone has any suggestions, directions or information, it will be gratefully appreciated. I read that there was a financial crash late 1800's that caused a change of work and move to Lancashire for my great great grandfather so the details on that work also peter out. Many Thanks. John H.

Lancashire / Quaker Family Connection
« on: Saturday 05 January 19 03:33 GMT (UK) »
Hello,
I reside in Australia and have been on site a few years ago but I'm looking for updates please on ancestral connection to the Quakers in the 1800's through the Harrison/Hampson family history. My grandfather was Thomas Harrison 1886 and married Sarah Ann Hampson 1884. My grandmother's mother was Sarah Ann Whalley 1849 - 1928 married to John Hampson 1847 - 1912. It was suggested that Sarah Ann Whalley came from a Quaker family and I have noted that there was also an area called Whalley in Lancashire.It is a broad question and difficult to localise but if anyone has any information, I will be grateful. John H.

Lancashire / Hampson Brothers Vulcan Motor Manufacturing
« on: Tuesday 28 August 12 02:32 BST (UK) »
Hello, I am in Australia researching family history in Lancashire. My Grandmother's cousins were Thomas and Joseph Hampson who founded Vulcan Motor Manufacturing in Southport, Lancashire. They operated the company between 1902 and 1916. Does anyone know of any book/s that would contain photos, diagrams and detailed information about the company operation between these years of 1902 to 1916. Thank you. John.

Lancashire / Gravesite/Gravestone St. Michael Great Lever
« on: Tuesday 10 July 12 11:27 BST (UK) »
Hello,
I am in Australia currently ongoing research into family history, including the Bramhall family branch. The Lancashire Online Parish Clerk site notes two entries of great grandparents, James Bramhall and Elizabeth J. Bramhall. They are James Bramhall burial 21 July 1919, St. Michael, Great Lever, Lancashire. Age 73 years, abode 40 Bradford Ave., Bolton. Grave Row 43 No. 15, and Elizabeth J. Bramhall burial 27 March 1924, St. Michael, Great Lever, Lancashire. Age 74 years, abode 40 Bradford Ave., Bolton. Grave (also) Row 43 No. 15.
Can anyone advise me as to who to contact to see if the gravesite/gravestone exists after such a long time and if so how to obtain a photo of same.
I understand this is a difficult request and any assistance or advice will be appreciated.
