Searching for great great grandparents- Bowers/Greenhalgh
« on: Thursday 28 November 13 23:04 GMT (UK) »
Hi I need help searching for my 3rd great grandparents.

All I know is that I'm looking for a James Thomas bowers miner at the time of his daughters marriage in 1915 and any information on a Jesse Greenhalgh who was not living at the time in 1915 but was a cotton weaver when Jesses son Joseph Greenhalgh marries Mary Louisa Bowers.

Thank you so to be a pain

Lets start with Jesse Greenhalgh.He is showing in 1901 living in Ramsnbottom Lancashire with wife Alice and a 16 year old son Joseph.RG13/3632/124/37.

It looks like Jesse died in 1903 in Bury.

It looks as if Jesse Greenhalgh married an Alice Scholes at Bury Lancashire in the oct/nov/dec quarter of 1868.Volume 8c,Page 560.

Lancashire BMD shows they married at Walmersley Christ Church.

Thats ok!Now we turn to James Thomas Bowers!You will will find Mary Louisa with her parents James T and Alice Ellen in Dawley Shropshire in 1901.RG13/2524/68/43.

James Thomas's marriage was to a Ann Ellen Rufus in the Madeley District of Shropshire in the oct/nov/dec quarter of 1893.Volume 6a,Page 1243.

He isn't quite as straight forward as the others.He was born though in the Wellington District of Shropshire in the Jan/Feb/Mar quarter of 1870.Volume 6a,Page 809.

Online Trees have him as the son of an Emma Bowers born in Little Wenlock Shropshire in 1846.
