Lancashire Lookup Requests / 1851 - 1841 Census
« on: Tuesday 30 October 07 16:27 GMT (UK)  »
Can anyone help please, my g-g-grandfather Henry Pownall b. abt 1821 Salford appears on the 1861 in Preston occupation boot and shoemaker and living with his wife Hannah.
He married Hannah Wigley in 1853 at the Cathedral Church Manchester.

I can not find Henry on the 1851 or 1841 census or come to that his father William who is recorded on Henry's marriage certificate as a shoemaker.
Any information or ideas that might help would be appreciated.  ???

Thank you

Hi Stewart

If you wouldn't mind doing that for me I certainly would appreciate it, once parents are established I can view census online but it's that first step so would welcome any help.

Many thanks

World War One / Summerdown Camp - Preston Pals
« on: Tuesday 30 October 07 09:40 GMT (UK)  »
Please can anyone supply any information about Summerdown Camp, nr Eastbourne. My grandfather was a member of the 7th Battalion Loyal North Lancashire Regiment (Preston Pals) during WW1, he was wounded and was convalescing at Summerdown. He met my grandmother whilst he was there, she was a maid at a girls school nearby, they were married in December 1917. The marriage certificate states that he was a soldier serving in France.
Any information about Summerdown or Preston Pals would be much appreciated.
thank you
