    Default Ellen or Sarah Ellen Hilton, Bolton or John Walmsley Barlow

    Hello

    Does anyone have any information on either John Walmsley Barlow (born approx 1887 - I think) who married Ellen Hilton (may of been known as Sarah Ellen Hilton). They were from the Bolton, Lancs area. They only had one child (my grandmother) Ethel Kitney in 1920... I have no more infomation on these families?!

    Hope someone can help me?!
    Thanks, Hannah

    Hi Sandy

    Thank you very much for this information is really is fantastic so many thanks for your help! The problem I have been having is that there are so many John Barlow's from the Bolton area. The only help is the middle name - Walmsley...

    Again, thank you for your help!

    Hi Sandy

    The only thing I know is that she married John W Barlow. So it could be either except I don't think she had a middle name so that may exclude Ellen Mary...

    I am thinking its the 2nd one Ellen Hilton abt 1889 Bolton. I don't want to bother you but do you have anymore info on her? Brothers or sisters?

    The other thing I was wandering is there is talk (my mother seems to remember her mother saying) that John Walmsley Barlow had a 1st marrage before Ellen. The only name we have is Edith but I don't have a maiden name...?

    Thanks
    Hannah

    Sorry dates no help, but looking at this I'd say it came from Kenneth's father and mother and that's another puzzle.......
    I think you need to be ordering some of the Cert. to get infomation from them.
