Lanarkshire / Re: 1851 look up
« on: Wednesday 18 January 12 14:18 GMT (UK)  »
Hi chuzzle...the entry for jane/jean 1851 and baby peter is correct she was visiting her friend charlotte white...I tracked charlotte through the marriages and  she was from old monkland...

Jane/jean was from the blackcraig area...I seem to remember seeing her on 1841 census working as a servant but its been a while since I've looked at this..

Margaret was born in gatehouse in the parish of fleet...this is on her marriage certificate ..the information on her parents came from her death certificate as she died in that magic year 1855 when they recorded everything they could think of  ;)

Hi Chuzzle...yes this is the same family I have been looking into...James and Jane were my GGG Grandparents..not sure what info you already have on Peter, but he was Irish , married to Margaret Carson and he possibly had a brother Thomas born 1821....their parents were James Benson and Sarah Irving/Irvine...this James was a field labourer....other than that I haven't managed to find anything else out although if they were Irish its likely the came from Northern Ireland and the problem with Irish Family history is the lack of records.

Which of James' branch is your wife from?..I am from James 1863 twin of Isabella  :)

Hi peter

off the top of my head the main ones (that I am searching for at the moment) are patience brereton/galley 1844-1853, levi galley/brereton 1837-1844, harriet brereton/galley 1838-1839, martha 1839.  These are the main ones.  It's confusing with the surnames as we have always assumed the family name was galleyand it has only been this last week that we found that they had been using the name brereton as well.

There are a couple of breretons and galley stones but nothing like the amount you would expect and none are the relevant ones.

If they are registered in the wybunbury parish is this where they would be buried?  They actually lived in shavington/wybunbury/bridgemere/stapeley/walgherton areas. ::)

I think I need to find out more about costs for headstones at the time.  I have one branch of the family over at doveridge in derbyshire and these were as poor as churchmice and yet they have some of the biggest headstones in the churchyard which is a bit of a puzzle as there appears to be no reason for this.

As for maps of buriel plots I don't know if they have them for churchyards.  I know they do for cemetaries.   

Wybunbury is an old churchyard and I think a lot of them have been squeezed in.  Some of the stones had been removed and used for paths which is a great shame as some look to date back in style to 1700's.  We read what we could but no joy.  Odly enough I have had the same problem with a branch of this family who moved into staffordshire. :-X

Hi
the sentinel have their own archives and I am sure they would help you as I know that they will do searches for a fee and  you can actually order copies. Whilst I know you have searched yourself they may be able to offer suggestions.  I have had to search for 2 inquests reports myself and found they can be several weeks after you think they should be!!!! ;)

Well I thought that a buriel record meant they were in a that particular churchyard isn't that the case :-[  I just can't see how I could lose so many of them, they were a large family.   :-\

Cheshire / wybunbury churchyard
« on: Wednesday 09 July 08 11:10 BST (UK)  »
I have found in the new cheshire records online buriel entries for several of my family members all wybunbury parish.  I have recently been over to the churchyard and can't find any headstones for this family.  Whilst I can understand that one or to might not have had one there are large branches of the family who remained in the area and they don't have them either.  Any suggestions?

Also does anyone familiar with this churchyard know if there was any order in which people were buried? For example anyone buried in the 1850's go in a particular area.  They seemed to me to be scattered everywhere and in no order but maybe I am missing something. ???
