Find Ancestors

I am trying to find records of the ancestry of William Masterson who married Maud Ormisher (Ormesher). He was a labourer in Lancashire, born approximately 1889. Maud was born around 1888. They had a son Joseph, and William died sometime before Joseph's wedding to Lillian in 1938. I believe Maud was from Ormskirk, but I can find no records of their marriage. I'd be grateful for any information on William and Maud's ancestry if possible, as I have some information but I dont know if it's correct. Many thanks, Kate

Hi Kate

Do you know when Joseph was born

Joseph was born approximstely 1912 in Lancashire, possibly Blackburn, and spent his youth as a groom at Newmarket stables. He later moved to the North East (Redcar) where he died approximately 1989. Hope that helps. Kate

Thanks K that looks like the one! Just need to find ancestry now!

If you have their marriage cert it will list their fathers names and occupations and help to trace them in the census

Hi K, of course you are right. I unfortunately am trying to research so many of my ancestors that the cost of appying for certificates is prohibitive just now. For the same reason I cant afford to buy credits to view census and other records. I really appreciate the efforts of my co-researchers on GR as they have helped me out no end. It gets hard when I get a few results for the same person and cant distinguish who is the correct person, as it is for us all I'm sure. I just want to thank everyone in advance who takes the time to help. Kate

Don't apologise - I know the feeling - My husband was sacked on illhealth grounds a few years ago so this is my one luxary. I would think Maud is correct and there is also a possible William which I will post although I can't guarntee it
