Lancashire Lookup Requests / Hunt / Mitchell Marriage Widnes
« on: Wednesday 09 November 05 15:22 GMT (UK)  »
Hi,
Can anyone please help me find the marriage of my great grandparents:

Thomas Mitchell b. 1886 Widnes married to Ada Hunt b. 1896 Widnes.

I know that Thomas dies about 1938 and Ada remarried in approx 1944/5 Jack Patterson. I cannot find any marriage records.

Thanks
Tanja ???

Just to let you know, had Higler listed on census as occupation, and have now found out what it means:

Higler - A person who haggles or bargains. An itinerant peddler or dealer

Good to know!

Cheshire Completed Lookup Requests / 1841 Bunbury / Beeston Look up : Wilsons
« on: Wednesday 12 October 05 12:57 BST (UK)  »
Hi, can anyone help?!

I have my ggg grandfather on the 1851 census for Bunbury Heath:

Robert Wilson (b1812 - Beeston)
Sarah WIlson (wife b 1811 - Beeston)
Thomas (b 1837 - tatterhall)
Harriet (b1847- Bunbury)
Mary (b 1840 - Bunbury)
Ann (b 1841 - Bunbury)
Samuel (b 1844 - Bunbury)
Emma (b 1846 - Bunbury)
Sarah (b 1850 - Bunbury)

I cannot make out what his occupatin is....it says HIGLER ????? (what on earth is that?)
Can somebody find them on the 1841 census - I am sure they will be in the same area.
I have Robert and Sarah married on 4 June 1836, St Oswald, Chester. How do I confirm if that is the correct marriage. In addition, on a birth certificate I have of one of the children, it states that Sarah's maiden name was also Wilson.
I have hit a brick wall in trying to go any further back from 1851 and am unsure how to carry on and find Robert's parents......help......I'm driving my husband mad with this!
Thanks
