Lancashire Lookup Requests / Re: wanted lookup on Thomas Battersby not sure which census i need
« on: Tuesday 29 November 16 17:28 GMT (UK) »
Hello Linda. Thomas & Grace were witnesses to my 3x g grandparents' marriage at St Ignatius Church, Preston 1843. John, my GGF also shoemaker & RC. 2 shoemakers called Thomas Battersby lived Preston then. 1841 they shared lodgings with (I think) "our" Tom's aunt, but that's just my hunch, based on other people in my ancestors' circle I researched recently. Don't think other Tom married. T&G lived near G's parents in 1851. They lived in same street as my ancestors later. This is just from memory. I need to check details but have to go out now. I will have more info. I only joined this last night. Several of children may have died young & I think son was widowed young, then I "lost" him & his children & feared the worst. Check out Lancs BMD. Hope it is the same Thomas. So glad to know they have descendants.
