Lots of ancestors today for both my husband and me.
Annie Elizabeth Collett my 3rd cousin once removed was born in 1896
Elizabeth (Betty) Moors my husband’s 2 x g.grandmother was born in Werneth, Stockport, Cheshire, in 1811. Werneth became Compstall in 1897 when the population was less than 875, and then in 1936 it was abolished and divided between Bredbury and Romiley.
Matilda Whittaker my husband’s g.g.aunt was born in Denton, Lancashire in 1833
Maud Ellen Shalless (nee Cockett) my g.aunt was born in 1884. I actually met Aunt Maud as she was known, although I don’t remember seeing her until after my gran died in 1949. She isn’t on the list of mourners at my gran’s funeral, so I guess she must have just read about her death in the newspaper and contacted the family. She was my gran’s sister in law. She was the only one of her siblings to live to a relatively old age and was 74 when she died.
Elizabeth Mowforth (nee Alden) my g.aunt was baptised at St James’ Church, Hull in 1878. She was the youngest daughter of my g.gran from her first (and probably only) marriage. My g.gran’s husband was shown as deceased on Elizabeth’s birth certificate.
Mary Stanton (nee Baxter) my 5 x g.grandmother was baptised in Heckington, Lincolnshire in 1746 according to Familysearch. However, I’ve searched on Lincstothepast, from 1740 (3 years before her parents married) to 1750 (she married in 1765) and cannot find her baptism, although I did find the baptisms of her siblings.
Blanche Badams my husband’s 4 x g.grandmother was baptised at St Mary’s Church, Warwick in 1764.
Elizabeth Hobson (nee Lodge) the 3rd wife of my g.g.uncle was buried in Southern Cemetery, Manchester in 1941. Oddly, the only daughter of her husband’s first marriage was buried in the same grave in 1949.
James Postlethwaite my 5 x g.grandfather was buried in Dalton in Furness, Lancashire in 1781
Harry Dawson & Minnie Gertrude Heaton my husband’s maternal grandparents were married at Christ Church, Bradford, Manchester in 1896
