Hi Wayne,
Thanks for getting in touch. I have only been researching our Whitney's really in the last couple of months, so im very glad to hear there is also someone else doing the same. My grandad was Albert Reginald Whitney b1930 in Manchester, his parents Joseph H Whitney b1897 Dudley (Cornelius's son) & Clara Briggs. My grandad married Edith Geliher (still living) & they had 3 children, Christine (my mum), David & Paul.  Albert Reginald Whitney died in 1968, yet my gran kept in touch with most of my grandad's brothers & sisters.

I will forward you my email address privately, as it would be great to keep in touch & to share what information we have.

Regards Tracie

None of Kathleens parents are named on the copy of the marriage cert, the boxes are left blank. My grandfathers parents are stated & my 1 of my living aunts does recall an uncle John & aunt Mary, who were their witnesses.....do u have any idea's to why no information on her parentage was added on the certificate?

Hi all,

I recently recieved my grandparents wedding certificate, on the hope of finding out who my grandma's parents were but unfortunatly they did not attend & so only witnesses were stated. My grandma Kathleen Burke was born in Donegal in 1919,  she married in Manchester in 1940 to Ernest Appleton. Their witnesses were a John & Mary Burke. My auntie has informed me that she does recall an aunt & uncle who lived in the next street to them.

Does anyone have any suggestions to where i go from here ?
Thanks

Hi,
thanks for your help. Yes Cornelius Robert Whitney b1872 was Joseph dad who married Esther Norah Brassington. You have in fact hepled me a great deal now, as i can use their middle names for others to find on census'. I had in fact found Cornelius & his wife on the 1901 census on the assumption they were Josephs parents...Harry age 3 then is i pressume Joseph Henry, his brothers Cornelius George & Albert reginald.

Thanks again

Hi,
I have been searching for my ggrandfather on the 1901 census. Joseph Henry Whitney b1897 Dudley. It seems that the Whitney's from Dudley are missing from almost all the census', i do have a marriage for him in Manchester in 1921 to Clara Briggs...could it be that the surname is maybe spelt differently? if so i have tried a couple of variations that gets me nowwhere!!

Thanks

Hi,
yes we are def researching the same family! which is fantastic news...Most of the Appleton men were filecutters, but it seems that around 1860s they had moved upto Manchester. They lived around the Ardwick/Chorlton/Hulme areas. If u send me your email, i can invite you to my family tree on ancestry, look forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards

Hampshire & IOW Lookup Requests / Re: Christopher Prangs
« on: Thursday 01 October 09 17:32 BST (UK)  »
Thanks Pam...I suppose then Mary Ellen Prangs could have been named after the Mary Prangs who died in 1857? Mary being Christophers mother?

Mmmm you say John Prangs was staying with a German family do you have their surname?.... only ive checked out the name Prangs & it does have a connection to Germany, although spelt in many different variations.

Thanks again Pam
Regards

Hampshire & IOW Lookup Requests / Christopher Prangs
« on: Thursday 01 October 09 16:39 BST (UK)  »
Hi,
I am trying to trace the parents of Christopher Prangs b1845 Newport, IOW.
I have been trying to find BMD records also for the Prangs, yet there is not an awful lot to go on.

The earliest birth on record is in 1871 for a John Prangs, who is Christophers son. There is also a death for a Mary Prangs in 1857 Salford, Manchester, but if she is part of this family i can't seem to find anything about her.
