I am doing research into the Harrop family: This is what I have and wondering if anyone out there may have them in their family tree;Wm Harrop married to Alice located in 1841 & 1851 census for Oldham Lancashire children Ambrose b.May 7 1822, Lucy b.1826, Wm b.1827, Ann b.1828, Ben b. 1831, Alice b.1835. of these children
Ambrose m. Sarah Lucy Buckley Dec 1842 in St Chad Rochdale:
Their chichildren: Joseph Wm b.1845; George Thomas b.Feb 22 1847; James Henry b.1849; Martha b.1851; Ambrose b.1854 died infant; Alice b.1856; Hannah b.1858;Ambrose b.1860;Lucy Ann b.1863. Most of the children born around Saddleworth , Oldham Ashton Under Lyne . Ambrose the father is lasted as master of Hey Chapel School in 1855.
of their children two left England George Thomas b. 1847 landed in New Brunswick, married and settled here. Martha married a Robert Dewhurst and settled in MA USA. Joseph married a Sarah, James married a Janee;
Apparently the Oldham Chronicle newspaper for 1923 has a rather lengthy article on Oldham and there is mention of my Ambrose with some personal data.. so far I have not been able to obtain the article.
So if any one can help with my Harrop from Saddleworth would greatly appreciate it.. thank you..
