Census Lookup and Resource Requests / 1871 census
« on: Wednesday 17 February 10 11:29 GMT (UK)  »
Trying to find the following family on the 1871 census, in an attempt to link daughter Mary to my line!  So far, all my searches have been in vain – and I am running out of ideas for alternative spellings etc!!

1851 census - HO107/2228/214/35 - 11 Lomax Street, Manchester
Joshua Naylor, head, married, 24, marble mason, born Stockport, Cheshire
Alice Naylor, wife, 28, born Birkenhead
Mary Naylor, daughter, 3, born Hulme
Hannah Naylor, daughter, 1, born Manchester
William Owen, lodger, 24, stonemason, born Manchester

1861 census - RG9/2643/75/10 - 15 Wilson Street, Birkenhead
Joshua Naylor, head, married, 35, marble mason, born Stockport
Alice Naylor, wife, 38, born Tranmere
Mary Naylor, daughter, 13, born Hulme
Hannah Naylor, daughter, 11, born Hulme
James Naylor, son, 6, born Tranmere
Jessie Naylor, daughter, 2 born Birkenhead

I believe I have Hannah, James and Jessie in the 1881 and subsequent census returns, but the parents and Mary remain a mystery.  The parents may have died before 1871; there are a couple of possible deaths.  Mary is the real mystery lady!

Any help would be appreciated.  :)

I had great help from the Huddersfield FHS; they have a forum to which non-members can post:

Lancashire Lookup Requests / Re: Isherwood - Rochdale

Thanks to both of you - I never thought of Sherwood - and yet it is obvious when you think properly ......!!!
It certainly seems to be the right family, and yes, I did have the 1841 return, thanks; I have not heard anything about a paint shop ...!!
Thanks again

Lancashire Lookup Requests / Isherwood - Rochdale
« on: Sunday 21 June 09 11:49 BST (UK)  »
I would be very grateful if someone could access the 1851 census to find Mark Isherwood, born c1790, and/or Mark Isherwood, born c1815 in Rochdale (the first Mark's son!).
I have access to Ancestry, but cannot find anything, but there are 2 Mark Isherwoods coming up in Lancs on The Genealogist - but even though I am supposed to have a trial membership, it will not let me access the records!
Thanks

In case you might be interested, at the moment I am reading Katherine Swynford by Alison Weir.  The review by the Daily Telegraph says..Gripping..immaculately researched.
Su - got this from the library - and could not put it down ....!!!  Thanks for the recommendation!!

Another Anya Seton that I loved - and Su missed off her list! - was "Devil Water", set against the background of the Jacobite Rebellion ... in fact, in truth, I loved all her books ......!

and
best of all in my view
Katherine which is about Katherine Swynford (nee Roet)Once read, never forgotten.
I have lost count of the times I have read it myself.
I could not agree more - I cannot remember how many years ago I read that book - or how many times I have read it again since ....!!
Note to self - must dig it out and read it again ....!!!  Maybe it is time to renew my very dog-eared paperback version; I think it must still be in print, because it was for sale in the Lincoln Cathedral shop when I went a few years ago!

I'd be interested to know how you get on Steph - I, too, have found someone there in 1911.
I'll do a bit of digging too, and post anything useful - if there is anything, that is!!
