I have about 60 different Manchester Genealogist booklets, produced by the Manchester and Lancashire Family History Society. They date from the 1990s mainly. They include sections on Scottish...

Hi, Pam
Thank you for that explanation.

Hi, to Pam,Sue,Christina and others. Sorry for the confusion by leaving the www on a different line from the rest of the link. I hadn't realised. That's the right record and if anyone can help with...

Hi,
I cannot read the entry for an indictment of an ancestor called Moses Teasdale, 1682. I can make out some words but not enough to make sense of the entry. Any helpful suggestions would be...

Hi Wilkes_ml and Geneius
Thanks for those suggestions based around hatting. I have read an article about Bertenshaws, another branch of the family, who were also hatters around the Gorton and Denton...

Hi Pam, Wilkes_ml and Janet
Thank you for each of the replies. I had been remiss and not checked out burials. I will look at that burial for a J Prestwich, hatter. I will also check for a possible...

Hi
According to the baptismal entry, his parents were Joshua and what looks like Elizz his wife. The problem is in finding the marriage of his parents. There are only 2 possible marriages I can find...

That is an excellent idea. Thank you for that

Thank you very much for that. I have to keep looking - I am assuming that you saw the actual entry rather than a transcript. Is that right? Thank you again.

Hi
I am trying to find out more about the marriage of Francis FRANCH and Joan BOND, North Petherton, Somerset, 28/6/1767. I wonder if anyone has access to these records and could tell me for sure if...

Hi
I think it is probably a list of birth and/or baptism dates. It's really useful. My thanks to everyone who replied.

Hi
Thanks for that, Janet. There were a number of felt makers in that family so that tracks. It's also interesting that Samuel Jackson was the clerk. Thank you again.

Thank you for your answers. That is helpful and, yes, the Bertenshaws were quite likely to be non-conformists. Many thanks for the explanation

Hi, Cicily
I think you would need an Ancestry UK subscription. Other than that I don't know why it wouldn't work. It works for me. I think that the page of entries all concerns one family and I am...

Hi,
Can anyone explain to me what this entry means, please? It is in a list of births and baptisms at Gorton but I don't understand the entry. It is on this page of Ancestry UK -...

Hi, Olliecat
Thank you so much for your efforts. Yes I have to agree with you. I think the James in Fareham in 1841 is syonymous with the Francis of later censuses, born Honiton. And I am now sure...

Hi,
Can anyone throw any light on this conundrum , please. I'm sorry it will take a while to explain

Hi, Thomasin
I really must apologise for not replying sooner. I don't know what went wrong. Thank you for your reply. The Aaron Chivers b 1832 was a descendant of mine and the finding the birht date...

Hi, Sandra
I have no idea why I didn't see this reply. I just wanted to thank you. I did take a look but he deals very much with Chilvers rather than Chivers. Thankyou anyway.

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone knew anything about an Aaron Chivers who married an Elizabeth [Bety]. I cannot find their marriage or a christening record for either. They were christening children in...

Thankyou to all who replied. I have only just got my computer back from being repaired which is why I haven't replied sooner. Thjis would explain why I couldn't find it sooner. Ancestry UK does...

Hello,
Could anyone please tell me where satchmore is in Hampshire. The only help I have is that it must be near Lymington as the Ancestry 1851 census gives that much. However, I can't find i on any...

Hi, Sue
I've had some help from somewhere else and apparently there is a very small hamlet near Winford called Upper Strode and another called Lower Strode. It seems highly likely that this is what...

Hi
Would anyone know what is meant by a reference to Stroud in Wrington. Wrington is a village near Burrington and Blagdon but I don't understand the Stroud bit. It was given as the place of...

Hi, David
Don't know if you've found what you're looking for yet but if not you could try the mining museum in the middle of Radstock, next door to Midsomer Norton. There is a research room there...
