It is the Lord Family I am researching and the Louisa connection is as a result of pursuing William who was the son of Richard b/1817 in Rochdale and Mary Ann Bennett b/1815 d/1862 Rochdale the married in 1837 Rochdale. What else can I tell you to sort out this mix up

O.K. - Let's work from the most recent connection to the oldest.

Where do you know for a fact that you connect to the Lords?

Do you have your tree on here - perhaps I could have a look at that?

I am sorry but I haven't put the tree on the site as yet I will when I get further.he most recent is my wife Ethel, Maiden name Lord born August 1934 Tantobie, Stanley Durham. She is the youngest daughter of John Lord b/ July 1899. South Moor Stanley Durham who was the son of William Lord b/ 1867. Who was the son of Samuel Lord b/ 1839 Rochdale Lanceshire who was the son of Richard Lord/ 1817 Rochdale. that is as far back i have gone . I do hope this is of some help

Dea Report 11 Oct 2008 14:36

Hello again - I am back (just for a little while), but will return again later!

I will try to post the information I promised.

I have to say though Pete that I have tried to work your line back from Ethel with the details you gave me and have not made a connection to either of the Louisa's yet!!

What I suggest is that I give you the details as to why the Louisa is not the correct one.

If that is all acceptable, we can put it aside for now and work backwards from the beginning from your Ethel born 1934?

We can then make sure that we have the correct people and build it up from there.

I will need to add this in several posts as it is too big for one message - please bear with me while I add it all.

SO........

'Your Louise' - there are 2 of them: - both have a father called William and both William's are in and out of the same profession !

(I actually think they will turn out to be related - probably cousins? but we will ignore that for now!

The two Louisa's are:

Births Jun 1865
LORD Louisa Rochdale 8e 37

Births Sep 1868
LORD Louisa Rochdale 8e 81

I will give you time to 'digest' that and we can then ask for help tracing your tree back from the most recent known facts and hopefully we will make the right connections.

I have already started work on it but need to take a little break and come back to it.

I am sure that there are many people on here waiting to help us along the way.

I will keep all the info I have as it may very well connect later.
