Lancashire Lookup Requests / Post 1891 Manchester Directories
« on: Tuesday 27 November 07 00:53 GMT (UK)  »
Help needed please for a look up in any directories post 1891 . For Arthur and Henry Oubridge,  Arthur and Henry both Turner- Pattern makes .

We have Arthur in Liverpool 1891, Henry is living in Chorlton at 14 South St .
We can't find Arthur with his wife in Liverpool in 1901, and Henry and his family are missing in Manchester, marriages of Henry's children are recorded in Chorlton from 1911 .
It is thought that Arthur may have moved to Manchester permanently as he and his wife are found to have split up - found a second marriage for his wife in 1908 .
Many Thanks .

Yorkshire (East Riding & York) Lookup Requests / East York Marriage Help ??
« on: Thursday 21 June 07 22:35 BST (UK)  »
Can anyone who has access to East Yorkshire Parish Records help me find a marriage between Luke Jones and Sarah Bell around 1807-1809.
Sarah was born in Wilberfoss but a search by the Borthwick Institute, of Wilberfoss and the immediate surrounding parish's drew a blank .

Their fist child Mary was christened at Wheldrake in Nov 1809 found this record on www.familysearch.org, however , can't find the marriage on the site.  I am wondering if there is are any parishes close to Wheldrake that has not been covered by the LSD site .

Any help or thoughts would be appreciated.

Doreen.

Hi Doreen

I think that building up a total picture of the family name/areas is probably one of the only ways we're going to solve this one. I've got this prob with my Carson line (see Kirkcudbright thread).

I leave them for a while then go back again and build up a bit more info.

Hi Gadget,
Found the Family at last- but not Christopher, may be he was up in the hills with his sheep.

Found his father and mother and a sister plus two brothers on the 1851 Scottish census at Ancestry ,  the name was transcribed as Buchannon, they where all born in Middlebie and living in Canonbie.

Then went on the SP site and had a field day via the search for their deaths , found Christopher's  grandparents recorded on his father James and mother Janet's certs . I now have Jackson's, Little's, and Davidson's as part of my tree.
I also found a John Buchanan living in Miidlebie he turned out to be the elder brother to James , having the same parent's recorded on his death cert . His wife was Elizabeth Hope their son Gavin registered his death so I think I will to find a lot more on the SP site.
I think Christopher was named after someone from the Little side of the family as there were a couple of Christopher Little's living in Middlebie and Canonbie.

I need to go back further than 1855 for death or burial records , do you know if burial books from Society's would give as much detail as the S P site

Cheers from Elated

Dumfriesshire / Re: Dumfries Police 1840's

Hi Mary have you tried contacting Dumfries and Galloway Police.
The web site is http://www.dumfriesandgalloway.police.uk/aboutus/history.htm it does have notes about the history that may interest you. There is a contact link, you could ask about Police staff and service records ,which may be held for the mid 1800s.
Worth a try. :)

Hi Gadget,
Seen your Carson's on the Kirkcudbight thread,must send your head in a spin at times.
With a John Buchanan, the Bells and Blacklocks in Middlebie, I think I'll follow them and see what comes of it.

Both you and Russell have been a great help, hopefully something will turn up.

Doreen.

H i Gadget  and Russell,
I think there is a strong family connection with the parish of Middlebie, I did find a Christopher on the IGI, born abt 1808 wed to Margaret Bell submitted details by a member of LDS.
They had a daughter Janet Buchanan born 1840 at Middlebie, Janet is on the 1841 and 1851 living with her grandmother Isabella Bell at Wallace Hall Middlebie. No trace of the parents on the 1841 or 1851. Christopher the shepherd was at Wallace Hall in 1843 this address is recorded on his sons baptism record .
A John Buchanan age 56 farmer is on the 1841, address Pokeskine Middlebie and appears to live close to Isabella Bell, he may be a relative.
I'm wondering if perhaps Christopher on the LSD is mine and did he marry both ladies or perhaps only one of them.(the mind boggles) What do you both think about this possibility?.

I will try to find out more about the estates, both in Middlebie and Cartmel, who knows something my be found that could lead to Christopher and perhaps is parents.

Cheers
Doreen
