Lancashire / Egerton/ Nightingale
« on: Sunday 05 September 10 00:50 BST (UK)  »
I am looking for more info on Sarah Nightingale (abt 1817- 1866) and Thomas Egerton (abt 1817- ?)

They had 9 children and most of them are baptised at Manchester Cathedral.

I have got her maiden name from her daughter Ellens (1845-1870) birth certifcate.

I think I have found the marriage on familysearch in 1835 in Prestwich.
It doesn't state parents for either of them and want to trace Sarah & Thomas further back

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Cheers
Suzanne

I don't think thats the right family. I would assume that Richard in that census a is the father.

Thomas' father is Frederick

Thanks anyway sylvia

Unfortunatley it isnt the correct Thomas.  His Father is John and his Mother is Sarah.

So still on the hunt, any suggestions of anywhere else I can look? ???

I thought that but on Fredericks marriage certificate it says his father is James Lewis.

I feel like I'm going round in circles and can't seem to find any fresh info to help me

Can anyone help me or point me in the right direction?
 I am looking for the baptism for Thomas Lewis so I can take this side of the tree further back. I have tried loads of things to no avail. If anyone can point me in the right diection I will be eternily grateful.

Heres the info I have

Thomas Lewis Born 1833/4 in Salford/Manchester (depends on the census)
He married Margaret Greenhalgh 5th June 1853 at St Philips Church Salford
He stated his father was Frederick Lewis a Spinner.
The witnesses were Frederick Lewis and Mary Ann Lewis and the residence is Sidney Street
Their children were
John Thomas Lewis (1857-1926)
Elizabeth Ann Lewis (1861- 1947)
Sarah Lewis (1865-1868)
Sarah Jane Lewis (1868-?)
Margaret lewis (1871- 1876)
Thomas Lewis 1873-?)

Margaret died 11 Feb 1876 of Brights Disease and Thomas never re-married

Thomas was a chimney sweep. He died 12 March 1909 at 90 Bury Street, Salford and is buried in Weaste Cemetery.

I have checked baptsims at the following churches
Sacred trinity
Christ Church
St Phillips
St Matthew
St George (Hulme)
St Stephen
Manchester Cathedral
St Mary (Eccles)

I have Frederick Lewis in Street directories from 1850, 1853, 1863 in Sidney Street as a chimney Sweep.

I have checked the mariage at St Mary's Prestwich for Frederick Lewis and Mary Ann Chapelle in 1838
Frederick Lewis- of full age- bach- nail maker- 21 king street oldham.
Father James Lewis- Nail Maker
Mary Ann Chapelle- Full age- Spinster- 81 Back Lusson? St, Oldham
Father Jonathan Chapelle- Nail Maker

I have the death certifcate for Frederick Lewis from 14 October 1886 in 14 Garrett Street Cheetham.
His age is 79years and occupation Chimney Sweep and is registered by his son William Lewis residing at 14 Garrett Street Cheetham.

Am I barking up the wrong tree with Frederick Lewis the Chimney Sweep or should I be looking for Frederick Lewis the Spinner??

Cheers

I know that the graveyard is grassed over at St John the Baptist, Irlam but does anyone know if anyone transcribed the gravestones before and if so where I could access the information?

Cheers
