Cheshire Completed Lookup Requests / Re: 1891 Census Andrew CHRISTY / CHRISTIE
« on: Friday 01 April 05 01:34 BST (UK)  »
Tricia Q,

Thank you very much for your help!

Regards,
Josephine

P.S.

Thanks to you, I now know about another son of Andrew CHRISTY and his (first?) wife:  Albert CHRISTY, born 1879.  Albert is listed as a nephew in the HUGHES household in the 1881 census, so it looks like Andrew CHRISTY had a sister named Sarah:


1881 Census:

31 Demesne Street
Poulton Cum Seacombe, Cheshire

James HUGHES, 35, born Bolton, Lancashire, Labourer In Iron (Manuf)
Sarah HUGHES, 34, born Liverpool, Lancashire
Albert CHRISTIE, Nephew, 2, born Seacombe, Cheshire

Cheshire Completed Lookup Requests / 1891 Census Andrew CHRISTY / CHRISTIE
« on: Friday 01 April 05 00:26 BST (UK)  »
Hello,

If it's not too much trouble, may I request another look-up, please?

I'd like to see Andrew CHRISTY (born 1844, Bolton, Lancashire) and family in the 1891 census.  They would probably be in West Kirby.


This is the CHRISTY family in the 1901 census:

Hoylake-cum-West Kirby, 60 Birkett Rd., Wirral, Cheshire

Andrew CHRISTY, 56, shoemaker, bootm, employer, born Lancs. Bolton
Georgina CHRISTY [nee SALISBURY], 40, born Ches. Birkenhead
Arthur CHRISTY, son, 17, bootm., employee, born Ches. West Kirby
William CHRISTY, son, 16, plumber, born Ches. West Kirby
Elizabeth CHRISTY, daughter, 15, shop assistant (stationers), born Ches. West Kirby
Mary CHRISTY, daughter, 13, born Ches. West Kirby
George CHRISTY, son, 11, born Ches. West Kirby
Thomas CHRISTY, son, 9, born Ches. West Kirby
Anne CHRISTY, daughter, 8, born Ches. West Kirby
Malinda [should be Linda] CHRISTY, daughter, 5, born Ches. West Kirby
Florence CHRISTY, daughter, 3, born Ches. West Kirby
Ada CHRISTY, daughter, 1, born Ches. West Kirby

[They might have had twins born some time after the 1901 census.]


This is the CHRISTY family in the 1881 census:

36 Bury Old Road
Tonge With Haulgh, Lancashire

Andrew CHRISTY, W[idower], 36, born Bolton, Lancashire, Boot & Shoe Maker
Robert CHRISTY, Son, 8, born Seacombe, Cheshire, Scholar
Fred. CHRISTY, Son, 5, born Seacombe, Cheshire, Scholar


Family lore has it that Andrew CHRISTY was married three times and had 17 children.  (I have Georgina SALISBURY's maiden name from their daughter, Linda CHRISTY's, birth certificate.)  A family member thinks that Andrew CHRISTY's cobbler shop was preserved as a historical building but we haven't been able to confirm this.

Linda CHRISTY married William Francis HOLLAND in Cheshire in 1922 and they later came to Canada.  They were my husband's grandparents.  Linda's sister, Florence ("Flo"), moved to Australia.  Some of their siblings might have gone to the United States.

Thank you for any help or information you might be able to give us!

Regards,
Josephine

Cheshire Completed Lookup Requests / 1861 Census Abel HOLLAND
« on: Tuesday 29 March 05 04:11 BST (UK)  »
Hello,

Would someone please look up this HOLLAND family in the 1861 census? 

They were probably living in Gawsworth, Cheshire.

Abel HOLLAND, born about 1793 in Gawsworth
Wife Hannah, born about 1804 in North Rode

They were living in Gawsworth in the 1871 census.  Their son, Francis HOLLAND, born about 1843 in Gawsworth, and his wife and three children were living with Abel and Hannah.  I don't know the names of any other children of Abel and Hannah HOLLAND.

Thank you for any help you might be able to give me.

Josephine
