I now have Shallcross's in Hayfield marrying into my Shawcross line viz Florence Hypatia Shallcross m. Robert Haughton Shawcross in 1911.

Thanks

The second is my probably great grandfathers brother.

My grandfather was also a Jack Shawcross, as was my father.

You are probably realated to my Gorton Shawcross's

Hi Mike

My Shawcross ancestors came from Irlam and came to Gorton between 1825-28, some later lived in Openshaw. I also have a Shawcross Wigley marriage.

Do you think there may be a connection?

William and Aves were at 6 Chapman Street on the 1901 census with their son Charles Henry, wife Alice and 4 children; Aves, Stanley, Arthur Bertram and Charles Henry. I did think William's mother died at that address but am almost certainly wrong.

If we could obtain Shallcross pedigees on CD even at £20/40AS$ that would be a bargin, just hope it pans out.

e-mail me direct on sshawcross21@aol.com to save going through rootschat.

Mike

you can contact me on sshawcross21@aol.com.  Looking at the Shawcross's in Gorton many of them seem to have come from the Irlam/Flixton/eccles part of Manchester/Salford.

Before that they are all supposed to be tracable back to Shallcross in Derbyshire and coming up into the Manchester area by two routes to the north and east through  Derbyshire paticularly Glossop into Cheshire through Mottram and then down the river valleys into Manchester. I have one Shawcross in Mottram that will be from this line and who I'm brickwalled on.

My main Shawcross line come the other route up through Cheshire to the west side of Manchester where a main branch settled in Flixton. From there they went east particularly on the Irwell Valley and later on the Manchester Ship Canal to reach Irlam. Eccles, Salford, Manchester and areas further east and south such as Stockport, Gorton, Openshaw, Droylesden. ( I used to work in Eccles and the Shawcross's still have an auction house there, it may be worthwhile contacting them to see if you are related).

The two lines meeting up again particularly in Stockport, Hyde, Dukinfield and nearby areas.

Shallcross pedigrees has many of these lines but is far from complete as it was printed by subscription so if your Shawcross ancestors were not rich enough to afford an entry they just did not get in. Mine from Irlam did not get in apart from my 3x great grandmother Aves Shawcross (nee Wilkinson), her son Joseph and mother-in-Law, Ann shawcross (nee Edgeley) which the book mentions being buried at St. James Gorton. I'm also brickwalled on this line once they get back to Irlam. The Mottram Shawcross did not make the book either although her husband's family might be in  but its making the connection.

If you can get hold of Shallcross Pedigree's it will be well worth your while even if your family is not in there. I'd buy a copy for myself if I could find one for sale expecting to pay several hundred pounds ie in xs of 1000AS$ for a copy. At those sorts of prices you need to see it on loan first before you attempt to buy.

Hi Mike

You can acces my tree on rootsweb by going to

www.rootsweb.com and clicking on familytrees at the top of the page.

This will open a new window and about a third of the way down the page is a banner saying how many names they have. Beneath that are the boxes in which you can enter any name of interest to you.

For our purposes I usually suggest Ulrik Wilson. When you click go this should bring up a single entry which is Ulrik in my tree.

On the right hand side you will see sshawcross. Click on this and it will open a new page that is the title page for my tree. Just beneath the title is the alphabetical grid that will allow you to access the surnames in the tree.

Don't worry if you don't get there first time, some people seem to struggle and I've got one lady in her 80s who just could not find her way in. Most however manage first time.

All the best for now and happy browsing.
STEVE
