Hi Tony,

           I have found out quite a  bit about the Woulidge family since this thread was started. Finding them in Cheshire in 1851 and Manchester in 1841, and before that, out in St Helena. What information do you have?

             I see your surname is Roscoe, which is another of my families.

Lancashire Lookup Requests / Re: Manchester Cathedral marriage look-up... have full date

Thanks very much, velpremus. Witness and profession even would be a bonus!
Thanks too for the two references, it is not on the OPC site, apparently records from that date haven't been extracted for the Cathedral. The IGI didn't throw it up previously because of a very weird spelling variation of the groom's surname. I was able to cross check it from the FS pilot site via the bride's surname..
           So if anyone has access to the microfilm, it would still be a huge help
                                                      Best wishes

Lancashire Lookup Requests / Manchester Cathedral marriage look-up... have full date
« on: Saturday 04 September 10 16:59 BST (UK)  »
This record has just popped up on the Family Search pilot site and of course I would be back from my UK holiday when it happens.
  Is it possible to get a transcript of a marriage record for 8th March 1837, Benjamin Mason Woulidge --can be spelt various way - and Elizabeth Coyston ? Just in case there are a few extra details not on the index?
   Or maybe some kind soul can just remind me what is usually on the record at that time, so I am not driven mad with curiosity if there isn't anything...
                                         Thanks in advance
                                                              Jane.

Nottinghamshire / Re: PAPPLEWICK MILLS on the River Leen

      Very many thanks to both owdcodger and rodney for their help. I am always amazed at the amount and quality of information I get from rootschat members, sometimes many moons after the original query, as is the case here.
     I have since solved the mystery of my Angus family, to a reasonable degree of certainty, though as this involves records in other counties, I will not give the details here. If there is anyone who lands on this page and needs that information, please feel free to send me a message. 
         Meanwhile,  I am grateful for such interesting background information on the Papplewick enterprises, and thank you and of course, everyone else who has replied earlier, once more
                              Very best wishes

Armed Forces / Re: Army Regiments in Lancaster circa Sept 1855?
« on: Saturday 26 September 09 12:23 BST (UK)  »
Hi Josey and Ken and thanks for your replies.
      I had seen the unfilmed 1851 site but wasn't aware of the list of affected streets. I will check to see if the address on his  marriage cert was among them. I have already searched for him by name to no avail Many thanks
     Ken, I have no further information whatever about Joseph Mason Woulidge after his daughter's baptism in September 1855 ==presuming he attended it. I do know he was alive a few days earlier as he was the informant on the birth certificate.
         After that there is nothing at all on either him, his wife or child, either in the BMDs or censuses. If he was a soldier I  presume he must have left the country with his family.
         He is indeed related to Benjamin Mason Woulidge of Leicestershire --though there are two. He is the son of BMW senior by his first wife Elizabeth, surname unknown, and half-brother of the BMW who is the son of BMW Sr and his second wife, Eliza nee Hutchinson. There is no sign of Joseph and family in the Leicester area nor any in Cheshire where his wife came from.
           Thanks once again for getting in touch
                                         Jane

Hi Ken and thanks for your very informative reply.
  The information that my Joseph Mason Woulidge became a soldier is from his daughter Sarah Ann's baptism record which I saw on microfilm this summer at the Lancashire RO. 21 September 1855  Saint Mary Lancaster. Earlier in the month on her birth cert his occupation was journeyman joiner, so I assumed he had just signed on.
      His DOB was 15/ 7/ 1829 -- on the island of St Helena but the family definitely moved back to England in April 1836, ( I checked all the EIC army muster rolls at the British library one year )
     He is in Manchester in the 1841 census, although missing in 1851, (lost in the rain damaged section no doubt) and marries there in 1852. The only further info I have on him is his daughter's birth certificate and baptism record.mentioned above, taking place at Lancaster in 1855.
      The local papers are a source that never entered my mind. Thanks for the suggestion. I do not live in the UK, so this and Kew must go on my to do list, but I now have some idea of where to start.
                        Thanks again for your interest
                                           Jane

Armed Forces / Army Regiments in Lancaster circa Sept 1855?
« on: Monday 21 September 09 16:04 BST (UK)  »
Hi,
    Forgive me is this is a silly question, I have no experience in this area of family history so please bear with me.   
     Is there any way of finding  out which regiments were present in Lancaster around September in 1855?
        I have a relative who changes occupation to soldier at that time, then disappears off the face of the planet.
        If I had some idea whom he enlisted with, I might be able to find out what happened to him --from muster rolls, perhaps?
     
                          Regards
                                   Jane
