Hi, link for the parish registers seems great.  I have had a quick look at it, and saved it in my favorites.  I will now go back to my tree and see what I can update from this.  Shame I didn't know about it earlier as it looks as though it's just what I need.

Hi, thanks for getting this information.  I think sometimes the problem with me checking this particular name, is that sometimes it is spelled Heywood and sometimes Haywood.  I have been tending not to look too much into the Haywood information and that could be my downfall.  My father always pronounced his surname with an 'E' and with me being brought up in Northumberland, we always tended to say Heywood - as in Lancashire. Is there a site that you know of where I can check baptisms, etc to see if I can get any further?  The John that rosie99 found on the 1851 census would make him born about 1796, which is close to the age I have for the John (c1800) I have found who was married to Alice Greenhaugh (c1800).  We have a site up here called Bishops Transcripts, Durham, which I use quite a lot for my other family, and this has copies of births, deaths and marriages from the 1700's upwards.  Is there a site I can access for something similar for Lancashire?  johnhood, the baptism you have 29/01/1926 is new to me.  I had him down as being baptised 06/08/1826, Manchester - something else to look into.  I have printed all your responses out so that I can try to check up some more.

Lancashire / John Heywood c1826

I have John Heywood c1826 as the start of my family tree, and am now trying to find his father.  I have a few 'hints' but cannot clarify their accuracy.  He was married in 1850 at Cathedral Parish Church to Alice Heaton.  How would I go about finding out who his parents were?  I have had 'hints' that it could be John Heywood c1800 married to either a Martha or an Alice, or William Heywood c1794 married to Mary Maria Nayler.  I don't live local, so cannot get to check things in person.
Thanks in anticipation, Kath

Nice to know about the GRO site.  I shall have to start using it.  I am currently trying to ensure that all the trees I have on the go at the moment are up to date and actually correct (unlike the one I have just finished, which you helped me on).  Although on saying that, I am not sure if one member of the family is correct and am trying to sort it out, and may have to call for help at sometime in the future.

Hi Boo
I didn't know about Charles and Dorothy, but I do know that Henry Charles Brock was born March qtr 1891 and died Dec qtr 1891.  When Dorothy died in 1893 Elizabeth must have been pregnant with Walter Henry, who was born Jan qtr 1894.  It's so sad to learn about all the infantile deaths when you are doing your family tree, but I suppose it was part of life in that era. 
Thanks for the info.

Hi Boo, just put this information with the rest of the 'stuff' and realised that in the time between the Census and his death he moved to West Row.  His wife, Elizabeth, must have been passed herself, as she would have probably had to move out the colliery house after his death.  Wonder where she ended up before she remarried around 1890ish

Hi Boo, I knew William Herron died in 1882, but I thought it was a pit accident.  Nice to hear that it wasn't so traumatic, although the family would still be devastated at him dying so young.  I know who his widow married.  She went on to have a further 3 children and one of their sons was a local barber who had a shop at the bottom our the street I was brought up in.
Thanks for that information

Hi Boo, I have checked the next census and William, Elizabeth and daughter Elizabeth are not on it.  I am now wondering if they emigrated.

Hi Boo, thanks for all that information.  I have done some further checking and have found the marriage information, but as you say the daughter is very elusive.  I knew about Archibald having a daughter, as it's the same family, but will have to dig further to find out about William's daughter.
