Hi Marie

I will go back into the census and see what extra information I can find

Hi again

It looks like Number 8 Hampson Street, and there is another person also called READ in the house as well (last entry on previous page) - see second scan.

Chris, you truly are a star!  My mother remembers that her grandmother had a sister, Sarah Jane (Sally), who moved to London after she married, so it looks like you may have found her for me.
There's a record of a birth of a Sarah Jane Read in Wilmslow on the Cheshire BMD site, but it's for 1867, not 1869, as I would have expected from the census scan you sent me.  Still, I'm going to send for the certificate, and see where that leads me.
And you also found William Edward Joyce.....I knew he was lurking nearby, somewhere!
I can't thank you enough.
Best wishes,
Marie (Jack33)   (the odd username was my 16 year old's idea......something to do with his love of heavy rock...don't ask!)

Hi Marie

Nice to be able to help and glad you found it useful.

Listen to everything mum says, it will be invaluable in later research.

Keep in touch, would love to know what the certificate says.

Hi Peter,
I didn't have that information,  so thank you very much.  As you can probably tell, I'm pretty new to this, although I've done quite a bit of research on my Scottish ancestors (Dad's side), and it is SO much easier!
I only came across this site a couple of days ago, not really expecting much, but I'm overwhelmed by the generosity I've been shown, and I have some definite leads that, I hope, will tell me a lot more about my family history.
Thanks to you, and to Chris, again.
regards,
Marie

Hi Marie
             I think this may be your family in 1871.

  1871 Mobberley Ches. RG 10 3680 folio 89 Newton Hall Lane

Charles Peers            head      w    56 ag/lab    Mobberley
Thomas Read    son-in-law      m    28  ~   ~     Chorley Ches
Ann        ~                  wife       m    23               Wilmslow
Sarah Jane ~             daug              3                      ~
Elizabeth    ~                ~                 1                Mobberley

It would seem that Ann may have been a Peers and that she and Thomas had another daughter Elizabeth.
I do not have the 1861 census to search but in the 1851 there is know sign of either family. I will keep looking though.

regards
