Ooo! Thanks Paul ... if you can find them, you are a better man than me Gungadin (is that how you spell it?) ...
I've trawled through the 1861/71 Altrincham and Salford census on CD page by page .. spent three hours on Ancestry Tuesday night til my eyes crossed.
On June 1 1874 George Henry Bowyer (b. 1853/4) married Elizabeth Warburton and Elizbabeth Barnett on the same day at the same time in the same church ... (his honeymoon night must have been exhausting) ... after a lot of tooing and froing to the registry, I discovered it was Elizbath Barnett. Esther Warburton was married immediately before them, hence the mix up on the marriage cert. Incidentally, Warburton was carried on as her maiden name on all the children's birth certs.
George Henry's Father was a Robert Bowyer Labourer on the cert. Haven't a clue where from.
On 1881 George Henry (Bricklayer) and Elizabeth and children were living at Paradise Street, Altrincham, Cheshire and it says he was born Altrincham. Elizabeth was born Manchester.
1891 The were living at 1 Islington Street, Altrincham.
1901 The were living at 76 Lloyd Street, Altrincham
I cannot trace Robert Bowyer in 1861/71 with George Henry in tow. There are loads of them in Northwich/Nantwich area, but not mine.
JONES (sigh!)
William Jones (b) 1859, married Elizabeth Birtles on 27th May 1882.
He was a spade labourer, and they were residing at Sandiway Place, Altrincham, Cheshire. His Father was Isaac Jones (date and place of birth unknown) was a Brickmaker.
On 1901 William is said to have been born Salford M/cr.
Again I cannot find Isaac with William in tow 1861/71 Altrincham or Salford.
I rest my case .....
Any assistance would be much appreciated, and if you find them, you will be my friend for ever and ever and ever....
