Thank you for that, yes I am sure daughter was middle name Ellen not Elizabeth, not to worry though - will start tracing cemeteries in area for burial, even if I have to go to Archives
Thanks again

Thank you so much for this, why haven't I found these I wonder? maybe been research blinded. its easily done. I will get on these cases and see, electoral rolls I think might be an answer.
Didn't help that mother and daughter had same first two names - Ha, families eh?

Thank you

Yes that's right, Margaret Ellen Chapple, she came from a very large family, her father was a Water works superintendent, but looks like when she met my Richard they settled in Radford (he had been a fireman in London - amongst also overseas) hence the job in Tobacco factory.
I have their histories just don't know where the children might be (despite extensive searching) and the burial site of uncle Richard

I'm so sorry, I didn't know about not putting 'living' people on here.
I have no idea whether the children are still alive and if they married or not, I did try extensive searching but could not find anything that pertained to them at all, after 1961.

Hi

Yes, thanks for that,I possibly will go to the Archives, when I've found out how many burial grounds are in the area (might give them a try first when I get the details of them) - don't think Margaret would have remarried as they were in their 60's when they died. Richard in 1932 aged 60 -

Thank you

Please can someone help me? I am looking for the burial of my gt grand uncle Richard John Thompson d. 1932 in Radford, Nottinghamshire - I haven't a clue how many cemeteries are in the area - the family lived at 14 Osborne Street, Radford (he was a fireman for many years at the Tobacco factory there)- his wife Margaret still lived on in the home till 1936ish but not sure where she went after that. Never found a death for her. They have two children but have never been able to get a handle on them : James Thomas b. 1912 & Margaret Ellen b. 1914

Thank you

Cumberland / Re: MCAVOY/MCVOY & MCNEIL- Cockermouth, Cumbria

Hi
its been 7yrs since I posted  on this one.
Well, I can tell you that the Hugh & Ann you found is correct, they are the Mcavoys (she was Ann Younghusband). They had a baby Hugh who sadly died (Ann & baby were in the workhouse in Cockermouth).Ann also died early.
Then after a series of events Hugh Mc (who also deserted the army twice in his early years) - met up with Mary Jane McNeil formerly Marsden(married to Henry in Cockermouth - see 1841)-
They have had a strange and varied life - my gtgtgt?? grandparents were Hugh Mc & Mary Jane -
and can't get a handle how he managed to end up dying in Bradford workhouse.

Hello
I have been so confused with this particular line over the years but got it sorted back to 1841 as the Henry Marsden you have seen at bottom of '41 is married to my Mary Jane (nee Mcneil) but in '51 she is still in Cockermouth living with widowed father and her young brood -no sign of Henry Marsden (think he turned up in a lodging house & died of drink eventually) but - Mary Jane changed her surname to McEvoy (without a marriage- around 1853) now the Mcneil line got confused and I have a photograph of my gt grandfather in a kilt taken in a photo studio called McGeachie's in Dunoon in the late 1800's early 1900's. It had been suggested years ago to me that because the photo was taken in Scotland I should look there for links but thank you because I never saw the Daniel McNeil & Mary on the '41 in the same street as my Mary Jane (possibly because I found her first and didn't look at that page as I didn't no her maiden name at that time).
Someone sent me the link for the McNeil's in Bute and said it was common for Neil to be a short form for Daniel so putting 2 &2 together I must have come up with 5.
Thank you again and sorry for any confusion (enough I have the confusion here without passing it on eh!)

Best Wishes
