Birthday Text book Winstanley family
« on: Wednesday 14 December 22 19:34 GMT (UK) »
I found this book in a charity shop in  Wrexham,  it was for people to enter their Birthdays in a friends book. Unfortunately only the book owner has their year of birth.
I tried to work out who they were but failed.

The Birthday and Scripture Text Book ,
W. Mack.4 Paternoster Square. London and 38 Park Street.  Bristol.

Arthur Blayney.  Bookseller. 10 Bridge Street. Chester.

Miss / M ? E Winstanley July 22 1889. Name in front of book.

James Winstanley January 7

Mary L Aubrey January 15

E. R. Bowden  January 21

Mary E Winstanley  February 10

Beatrice Maud Price February 25

Christina Jane Winstanley March 3

William Winstanley March 5

Fanny Jones March 12

A. Denton / Venton ?  March 18

Margaret Winstanley April 1

Thomas? Moore Gibson April 17

J.H. Hughes April 25

William Winstanley May 25

Gertie Bishop May 31

Jane Ellen Morris  June 6

Gertrude Owen June 22

William A Winstanley June 24

Edith Humphreys August 13

J.? T.? Watson / Matson? August 26

Maud Ethel Barber September 4

Rachel Stirling September 8

Mabel Bowen September 18

Lizzie Winstanley September 20

Alice? Heath Hall  September 30

Bessie Taylor October 14

Ruth Clarke Jones October 18

Annie C Taylor/ Laylor ? November 1

Christiana Hughes November 15

That's it. There's no clues as to where these people lived apart that the book was bought from Chester. 
Donations to the shop can come from local to Wrexham people,  but there's also donation centres in Shrewsbury and the Midlands so could have come from anywhere.
It's beaten me so if anyone wants a challenge.... go for it.😃

Here is one that I have looked up, suitably different name and this is her birth in the GRO

WINSTANLEY, CHRISTINA  JANE     NORMAN 
GRO Reference: 1868  M Quarter in PRESCOT  Volume 08B  Page 684

March quarter would fit a 3rd March birthday.

I'll see what else I can find.

There is an Arthur Blayney bookseller and stationer living at City Walls, Chester, Cheshire, England in the 1891 census.  With wife Annie and four children.  Registration district is Chester.

He could be the Arthur in the birthday book.  His birth year is given as 1841.

Arthur Blayney doesn't appear in the book,  it's just a small  label inside,
Sorry if it caused confusion.
