Harrop

[Mumsie2131]

I know there are a lot of Macclesfield and surrounding places info on the 'new' family search site because a relative of a different part of my family has found lots on the Ashworths.  Last time I looked they hadn't any more on Mottram - not the Prestbury Mottram.
I'm attempting to complete 4 generations - births, marriages, maiden nmes and deaths before I get back to the Harrops - I've just 2 deaths to do !!
I didn't know there was a Harup in Yorkshire, interestingly the chap who published the book from where my mention of Harup came is from Yorkshire and called Harrop !!!!

Yes those new family search labs are great as it is easy to track a family using the polling records,  there is only one problem...they only do Cheshire!
If your family come from Yorkshire you are lucky as there are a whole raft of CD's that cover all the parish records etc for sale on ebay, I cant wait until Lancashire's BMD is like Cheshire's  as it really cuts down time collecting "likely suspects" and getting the order forms for he certificates.

Have you discovered the Tithe Maps for Cheshire on line ?  Cheshire Tithe maps in Google or other search engine will find them, they make interesting reading and can be searched.  My American Ridgway relative found where our 3X gt grandfather was living (he was born c1770).

  yes they are great, there is a link to them on here, that is how I found out my james owned the main roads of the town he lived in ...I still have not found out why anyone would want to own 7 acres of roads ha-ha

"I have just discovered & registered with this website, and see that you have done an awful lot of research on the Harrops of Cheshire. But unfortunately none of them connect with mine. My earliest confirmed Harrop is James bc 1828 in Warrington. I'm pretty certain I have them on the 1841 census for Lower Walton, Warrington. And I have them baptising children at St Elphin's, Warrington. If this is the same family I have father James, mother Elizabeth. Siblings Elizabeth, Thomas, Joseph, George. (My James had children Elizabeth, Joseph, Mary & William) I have searched the 1851 census to see if this family are there, but to no avail.
You have found many records, so I am wondering if any of them relate to Harrops in the Warrington area."

I have searched all the relevant online sites ever since they became available, but with no luck. And yes, at that time, Warrington was in Cheshire - very near Liverpool. So I would be very grateful for any breakthrough

Hi Caropea,
all my disks, papers etc are packed up as we are moving house, so I have put these up here so anyone else searching Harrops might have something for you.
 There are just so many Harrops to look through and I have only done a small area but I dont think I have done any in Warrington only the ones that would of been in the directory lists...sorry I will keep my eyes open for you but the trouble with that is refinding you thats also why I also stuck you on here as the other day I remember reading someone looking for a Jabez Harrop I think it was on the rootsweb boards and I wanted to tell them that there is a Jabez Bailey marrying a mary ann harrop on one of my lists and think the name Jabez was not so common that there might be a connection, but now I cant find the person or the post to reply to.  good luck with your search...sue
