Hi there my Dad Ben Pearson worked at George Richards, then Kearns.   He was maintenance. I remember one of the people who worked with him surname of Morris from Sale.  My Dad got made redundant from Kearns and went on to work at Linotype.   My Grandad Leslie Wilson worked at Record Electrical.  I lived in Altrincham until 2003 when we moved to Spain.  Have lots of fond memories.

Hi sorry this is nothing to do with Berry, but thisbrought back  memories of my dad coming back from work on his bike from Kearns in Atlantic Street.  The buzzer sounding when it was time. I also used to bike down Atlantic Street to work.
  When I was young used to go to Navigation Crossings and watch the trains.  In the school holidays going to Manchester on the train and having lunch of fish and chips in Lewis's top floor restaurant. Oh how it has changed I went back there in March.

Hi there thanks very much for all your help.  Sadly I am sure these are not my people.  I have found out that there is definitely no such place as Bucklow, Cheshire, New Hampshire on an American forum for Cheshire NH.  So I am assuming it is not a coincidence and it is in fact the same person.  I am going to order the birth certificates for Elizabeth Maud Hankinson and Samuel Pearson and see what I can find out then.

Does anyone know if Warrington came under Bucklow Cheshire, as I notice on Genes Reunited that there is another Elizabeth Maud Hankinson born in Warrington 1901. I am thinking these are two different people, all will become clear when I receive the certificates I hope.

Thanks again   Lynda :)

Hi  thanks for your ideas.  I have found out that Samuel stayed in Hale Cheshire until his death which I have been unsuccessful in finding the date etc... of.  Also a birth registered Oct/Nov 1930 of Benny.  So I assume this would count out the 1930 American census, and that is the latest one we can access I think.  I shall keep trying down different avenues, thanks again for your help and suggestions

Thanks very much for your replies.  I have had terrible trouble trying to find out anything other than  a name, my family does not want to talk about it. I found the date of the register of the birth and the marriage on the internet.  I will certainly try out your suggestions, and if all else fails on my next journey back to the UK I shall go to Trafford.  Thanks very much again  Lynda

Cheshire / Elizabeth Maud Hankinson 1901
« on: Monday 09 June 08 12:22 BST (UK)  »
I am trying to find information on Elizabeth Maud Hankinson.   Birth registered Oct/dec 1901 Bucklow Cheshire.   She married Samuel B Pearson Sept 1925 in Bucklow Cheshire.   They lived on Hale Road, Hale, Cheshire.
I am trying to find out when and where she died.  The only info I have found is  Elizabeth Maud Hankinson died 1979 Brighton, Maine, Somerset, USA, born Bucklow, Cheshire 1901.  Could this be the same person? I do hope someone can help me.

Thanks very much  Lynda
