Lancashire / Stopford's Brewery, West Gorton
« on: Wednesday 11 July 18 08:33 BST (UK)  »
Does anyone have any information on this brewery, please?

They ran a pub - Mersey Tavern in Stockport (now Chestergate Tavern).
And I can see entries in Grace's Guide and Defunct Pubs - but that's about it!

London and Middlesex / LMA - Nursing Records
« on: Monday 09 July 18 13:21 BST (UK)  »
My aunt, Ethel Irene Primrose Garrad (1908-1970) was a nurse all her working life - largely in Mental Hospitals.

In the 1940 Register of Nurses, she shows as being trained at Selly Oak Hospital, Birmingham, from 1936 to 1939.
On the 1939 National Register, she is a Nurse at Erdington House, Birmingham.

On the 1953 & 1954 Electoral Registers, she is at Tooting Bec Hospital, Tooting Bec Road, London SW17.

In later years, I can remember visiting her in London - somewhere to the south of Cromwell Road? (I was a young teenager; I don't remember exactly! ;D)

She later became Matron at Oakwood Hospital, Barming Heath near Maidstone.


Having failed to get much information out of either Oakwood Hospital or the Royal College of Nursing, can anyone tell me what (if anything) I can expect from London Metropolitan Archives?

Yorkshire (West Riding) / Arthur Roland (or Rowland) Bradley, b 1871
« on: Tuesday 26 June 18 15:52 BST (UK)  »
Trying to find the parentage of Arthur Roland Bradley, b Undercliffe/Bradford in 1871.

On the 1871 census he is a grandson of Hannah Bradley, with Hannah's children Faith, Alfred, and Thomas. https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:VBZ7-HP4

On the 1881 census, he is a Visitor Nephew to Thomas & Ann Peel. An Alfred Bradley (Brother-in-Law) is in the same household. https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:Q27T-3QTY

Can't see him on the 1891?

By 1901, he is a photographer in Reading. https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XS3P-TN2

And in 1911, he is still a photographer in Reading, but is now married, with 2 children.
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:X7LF-N1X

He later appears in documents on the Isle of Man, as a nephew to Ellen Bradley/Stopford/Earle-Hunt.

The family are all born in either Undercliffe or Eccleshill.
Undercliffe Baptism Register starts in 1872 - and he isn't there ;D
I have looked at Eccleshill Baptism Register, but can't see him there, either :-\

There are 3 Bradley daughters to choose from for the potential mother!
Faith, b 1848-1851, who had an illegitimate child later in 1874 (Annie).
Ann, b1847. Married Thomas Peel. An Unlikely candidate.
Ellen, b1852. She came to the Isle of Man; was a rich widow, and a philanthropist!

So, it's just Arthur's parents I want to find.

London & Middlesex Lookup Requests / Arthur Earle Hunt and Ellen Stopford marriage 1894
« on: Wednesday 13 June 18 15:20 BST (UK)  »
So, I have spent some time in the library today and, while I can see the transcript of this marriage, I can't see the image?
Little green wheel just keeps on turning  :-\

St Margarets, Westminster 1894 (Sept qtr, according to FreeBMD)
Arthur Earle Hunt (age 36) to Ellen Stopford (age 47).

I would like to know marital statuses and father's names.

I know I can try again tomorrow, but you lot are so quick! ;D ;D

Europe / Karlsson - Sweden
« on: Sunday 24 December 17 11:46 GMT (UK)  »
I met up with a distant cousin last night, and he asked if I (we!) could help with his ancestry?

His grandfather was Carl Gustav Karlsson, born 3rd August 1887 in Stockholm.
He migrated to the UK, and married Hannah Maria Bailey in the December qtr 1911, in Bristol.

Ireland / Catherine & Margaret Woods (1830s)
« on: Saturday 09 September 17 13:51 BST (UK)  »
I am tracing a family (or families!) who moved from Ireland to Liverpool.

1851 census has John McMoran and his wife Margaret, aged 24 and 22 respectively, living in Liverpool. (HO107/2181/266/84).

1861 census has John and Margaret, & children, living in Toxteth Park.
They have a visitor, Catherine Ashcroft, married, with 2 children. (RG09/2699/95/38).
The GRO Index confirms mother's maiden name for both Margaret's & Catherines's children as Woods.

1871 census has John McMorran and wife Catherine. Catherine's children are now MacMorran.
I can't find either a death for Margaret, or a marriage for John & Catherine.

The 1881 census has them transcribed as McMurden (RG11/3644/118/33).
Again all children I have found on the GRO Index, with MMN as Woods. Some were Ashcroft; some were MacMorran (or variants!).

So, back to Ireland! ;D
Were Catherine & Margaret sisters? or cousins?

Is there any sign of marriages of either to a Mr Ashcroft or John MacMoran?

The only hit I have is an 1847 marriage, of Catherine Woods to James Cartmel.
This took place in Dundalk, Louth.

Lancashire / Different mothers? COMPLETE
« on: Saturday 29 July 17 16:39 BST (UK)  »
My step-grandfather was Thomas Coulton Ball, born 1879 in Wigan.

I have his Birth Registration, and censuses for 1881, 1891, 1901 and 1911.

However, when looking at his siblings birth /baptism records 2 different names appear as Mother's Maiden Name?! And no 2nd marriage.

Thomas' parents were Edward Ball and Margaret.
There is a marriage in 1872 for Edward and Margaret Fielding, at St Wilfrid, Standish.

However the chldren were:

Henry (1873) mmn Fielden
Mary (1874) mmn Ormesher
Barnett (1876) mmn Ormesher
Thomas (1879) mmn Fielden
Ann (1881) mmn Ormesher
Lavinia (1883) mmn Ormesher
Eleanorn (1884) mmn Ormesher
Elizabeth (1885) mmn Ormesher
James (1887) mmn Ormesher
Lucy (1888) mmn Ormesher
Joseph (1890) mmn Ormesher
Edward (1891) mmn Ormesher

Has anyone any ideas about the Ormesher name?

I have all the baptisms from LAN-OPC, and most of them from the GRO Index.
