Hi Marie,
Lovely to hear from you. Emery is also my gggrandfather and i have quite a bit of info on the family. Do you have any photos? I have one of G Auntie Tot (Wealthy Meakins) and also one of her mum Wealthy Young, but would love to have more of the old family photos. Where do you fit in the tree? I am gathering the Meakins line. I am descended on my mum's side from his daughter Janet Emily (Emily). G Auntie Tot wanted mum named Wealthy after her too, but she wasn't. She married my grandpa's brother Albert. Can you please email me at brbrmllr53 at gmail dot com so we can share notes and get to know each other better?

Emery was definitely from Canada, and apparently he did jump ship but i haven't actually found out the details of that, as his full name isn't given in the shipping records. The mix-up when i first put the message on Rootschat was because his birthplace was given as Invernesshire on his death certificate, so it wasn't until another researcher put me straight that i was able to track him down further. By then i forgot that i had put the original message up - sorry! He was born 29 Apr 1831 Montague Township Lanark, Ontario Canada.  Baptism 17 Jul 1832 METHODIST, RIDEAU, FRONTENAC, ONTARIO moved to USA with his family when little came out here married Mary Ann Castle had his family here, and died 1908 in Adelaide SA

Hoping to hear from you soon.  :)
Cheers.

Hi all,

Would anyone on this board be going to the register office and be able to look up some certificate details for me so i can find the correct one to order? I would very much appreciate this as i am in Australia. I have the reg. numbers.

I am looking for the death certificate of my ggrandmother who was Elizabeth Storey and who married Thomas Taylor in Manchester. She was widowed and living with her daughter Mary Jane Carroll (formerly Holroyd, nee Taylor) and her family at 2 Napier St, Ancoats in the 1911 census. (Have these transcripts and images, and Elizabeth's birth and marriage certificates. She was baptised on 13 Jan 1851.

I have narrowed it down through Findmypast UK deaths to the following 4 people (I hope) and had a look at the registration images, but would appreciate if there is any way to see the information on the certificates before ordering.

Elizabeth Taylor died Sept 1/4 1925 age 74 Vol 8D page 547 Manchester North
 
Elizabeth Taylor died Mar 1/4 1942 age 91 Vol 8D page 557 Manchester

Then there are 2 registered in Chorlton -
Elizabeth Taylor died Dec 1/4 1922 age 71  Chorlton vol 8C p 843
Elizabeth Taylor died Mar 1/4 1924 age 73 Chorlton Vol 8C page 993

Thank you very much.
kind regards,
Barb

Lancashire Lookup Requests / Re: POTTS family puzzle
« on: Thursday 27 October 11 04:00 BST (UK)  »
I have  Marriage cert to John Victor Potts 3rd August 1907, Chorlton. She was living at 10 York Street Ardwick at the time. Amelia's dad had died 30th Nov 1904. have cert.  John shown as an Umbrella polisher on his marriage certificate. His father John, was shown as a Carter.( His father's actual name was John Noah Potts) John jr lived at 86 Birch Street, Ardwick at the time of his marriage.

Amelia came out to Australia on the Berrima in 1913 arriving in July under her maiden name after her husband had died, then remarried in 1914. I wonder if Tom was born before they married? but then again, where was he in 1911, and where was Florence in 1911 - those two i haven't been able to find!!

Tom (Thomas Charles) married a Grace but don't know her other name. They had 2 children, Michael and Ethel. Grace and the kids came out to Oz in1949, have shipping record. and pics (she is labelled as Grace). They came out first then he came later because of service duties i suppose. I have a photo of him in uniform with his half brother my uncle also in uniform which was taken in SA. Tom was in WW2.

Thank you Radcliff also for stating the obvious which i had completely missed!! John couldn't have died in 1910!!! What a wally i am!!

There are so many Taylors and Potts and i have already got a lot of incorrect certificates in the past which i can no longer afford, so don't want to get any more unless they are the right ones and i really need them.  I think Tom died in SA, in the 90's, but haven't been able to confirm that. To be honest, until this puzzle came up i wasn't worrying about Tom, just trying to find mum's sister Agnes, before mum goes. I will follow up on the medal.

Our certificates are also more than 3 X dearer than English ones, not even counting the exchange rates  :( That is if you can even get the details to get them.

Thank you Radcliff and Gibel for your observations and information. Much appreciated.

cheers for now,
Barb

Thank you, thank you, thank you for looking them up and confirming those details and sending those references for me. I thought it may have been Bernard and Mary, so am glad to know for sure.
Thank you for your kindness and help.
kind regards,

Hi Radcliff,
Thank you. 

Parents Amelia Taylor and John Victor Potts (that would be his death record, thank you) had Thomas Charles and Agnes, but do not think it is the same Thomas Charles Potts that you mention, though it could be. We don't have a definite date of birth for him. I haven't found him in 1911.

In 1911 census John and Amelia and Agnes are living with the whole Potts family, but no mention of Tom. They had been married 4 years and Agnes was 3. We always thought that Tom was the older sibling but have not been able to find anything further about him until a letter in 1934, and subsequent photos in Oz after his family emigrated in c 1949.

Can you suggest where we could find Tom in 1911 if he WAS the one born in 1907? and also where i could find his service records, which may give more accurate information on his date of birth, address and family when he enlisted (Manchester regiment as far as i know and went to west indies in 1934 - per letter)

kind regards,
Barb

Thank you for this, but it may prove a little difficult to pop in as i am in South Australia.  :D It's a bit expensive to get a certificate for someone who was only in he family for 2 years, though i would still like to know a bit about the Brady clan.
Cheers,

Lancashire Lookup Requests / POTTS family puzzle
« on: Wednesday 26 October 11 04:40 BST (UK)  »
Hi,

I am hoping someone will be able to help with a puzzle which has just surfaced involving our POTTS family in Manchester, Lancashire in the early 1900's. All help very greatly appreciated, cos we can't think where or what else to try.

I have just found living descendants of my mother's half sister, who she had never seen, and hence wanting to solve this puzzle now.

We (in Oz) were told that my grandmother's 2 children by her first marriage to John Victor Potts, Agnes & Tom, were brought up by her sister Florence, after John Potts died and Grandma emigrated to SA in 1913. There was regular correspondence until WW2 when all contact was lost with Florence and Agnes. Tom who was younger, was a career Serviceman in one of the UK defence forces for many years. Tom and his family were subsequently sponsored out to Australia. Mum met them.

However, my new found (yipee!!!!) cousin in England, who is Agnes's daughter, was told that her mum was brought up by the Potts family, and they had no knowledge of Agnes's brother Tom. Agnes married Edmund Kay jr in Bradford, Lancashire (have marriage cert) and had her own family.

We have the 1911 census and those before that, but have no idea where to look to find out actually what happened after 1911, and who brought up who, but are very curious to fill in the gaps. Both Tom and Agnes were mentioned in a letter to my Grandmother in 1934 from Florence, so we can't work out how Tom and Agnes could not have known about each other.  ???

HELP please!!
Thank you.
