That's interesting. Thanks for explaining it to me.

That is some excellent detective work. Apologies for only just seeing this post now. So, is it likely that Mary Mellor was seeking some form of child support for her son?

Hi Sue,

Zachariah was a shoe maker and was also an Inn Keeper, living at Tickle Lane in Manchester. I'm confident that everything I have for him is correct post marriage to Jane and I have...

Thank you Helachau. I think we have our guy. Coulhurst was a middle name given to one of Zach's children so this all makes sense.

Can I ask which site you found the newspaper article for Zach as...

How on earth did I miss this? I'll take a look at this right away - thanks for your help!

Thanks Alma I'll take a look at this. Much appreciated.

Hi Sue,

Thanks for your help

On which census did you find that Zachariah's father was a plasterer? I would be interested to see it. I completely understand and agree that his father could have...

Hi Sue,

Thee other trees that I can see don't seem to have any sources for their information so I'm reluctant to assume what they have as fact, especially as the father they have for Zsch was...

I have hit a brick wall in my family tree and am in need of some help. I'm trying to find some information on the parents of Zachariah Mellor, who sometimes went by the name of James. I would like to...

I feel reluctant regarding the baptism record for 1882 because that would have made her 18 when she married in 1901, the certificate states she was 19 and her headstone says that she was 88 when she...

Thanks everyone. I’ll look into these possibilities. I probably should have mentioned that I was told that Agnes was catholic. What is the likelihood that her first name wasn’t Agnes and that was a...

That’s interesting - the birth recorded on the death certificate is in the same quarter but would make it more difficult if trying to order a certificate without the index numbers.

Hi pamelawagater - I know about this already, his mother is recorded as living with home of her daughters in Keighley after she became a widow which again is where the Yorkshire connection might come...

Thomas and Agnes’ address is listed as 45 Springfield Lane, Salford but I checked the address on the 1901 census which was completed 2 months after their marriage and I couldn’t find them. It seems...

She married Thomas Ardrey in 1901 (I have the marriage certificate) and she married again in 1918 to Albert Hayes. I also have her death certificate with states her DOB but the registrar didn’t...

I've been trying to get to the bottom of this for ages but i'm just not getting anywhere. I've looked through the birth and parish records, the census records etc and I can't find anything that fits....

He died on the Somme

In case anyone is interested. I finally have managed to find out what happened to Thomas Ardrey/ Hardy. I have done this search hundreds of time and by a complete fluke something came up.

He died...

Hi Pam,

How do I navigate to the Historical Index following the link you sent?

Thank you so much to all of you. It was really starting to bug me about what happened. I did see a death record for a John Hands who died age 24 but I put it to one side as it’s such a young age but...

Hi there,

I'm hoping for a little help.

I've been working on my family tree and i'm currently looking at my 3 x G Grandfather Joseph Briggs born 1850 in Northumberland. He married Isabella...

I have found a short transcription of a document of a ancestor who was admitted to Prestwich Asylum in 1882. I have the admission date, patient number, discharge date but no details as to why he was...

How interesting! How did you find this information? I would love to see the documents if possibke

Just a thought... was there any rules about marrying once you were already married? Albert and Agnes were together for at least 7 years and had 3 or 4 children together before getting married. It...
