Looking for Martha A Thwaites born 1843.

[daniel tay]

Hi all,
I am looking for information on Martha A Thwaites, in 1851 she was at home 12 hookbrook Terrace Derby Derbyshire with her father William Thwaites he was born at Bethnal green Middlesex, and her younger brother Henry Thwaites born 1846 he was born in Derby. Martha  A Thwaites was born cheshire Macclesfield but not certain why there?
It would be wonderful if we could find out who William Thwaites wife was too but she seem to have died pre 1851 they all moved on to Preston Lancashire.

Many Thanks for any help i get,
Dan Tay.

Hi Dan

           The http://www.cheshirebmd.org.uk/ shows that Martha was born 1842 in Bollington Macclesfield, the birth certificate would proberbly give you all the details you need with hopefully an address to search for them in the 1841 census, no name index for the 1841 as yet and the Bollington Registration district covers a large area and various villages, so to big to search page by page.

         The 1851 shows William as a Silk hand loom weaver which is proberbly why he was in the Macclesfield area, a vast amount of silk woven there in the last two hundred and fifty years.

please get back to us if you manage an address
