the place of martha's birth in the one for 1881 fits - identified by lancs bmd as Heywood (spelling the same - Magee, but if she was illiterate she would not know if it was the right spelling)

thats quite possible she was 41 as it was her second marrage but the spelling on my cert is mcghee suppose it could be wrong, i found these

Marriages April qtr 1902 Martha McGhee to Edmund Bennion
April qtr 1922 Martha Bennion to Albert Chatterley Ward

1901 census
6 Bowling green Heywood Edmund Bennion age 50 but he already has a wife.
9 Lever Street Heywood Albert C Ward age 2 Father Mark mother Ellen

thats the only albert chatterly i can find but i think that makes him half marthas age

?

neil.

There's this one but the spelling isn't the same and she would have been
41 when Sallie was born.

Births Dec 1881 (>99%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

MAGEE Martha Bury 8c 467

Have you had a look on the census for Martha?

yeh i have the cert for that cynthia its mcghee when she wasnt married i cant find her anywhere

Births Dec 1922 (99%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ward Sallie McGhee Bury 8c 717

ok heres one i couldnt even get started on

my mum
sallie ward b heywood 1922
her mum
martha ward formally bennion nee mcghee
i found the marrage to edmund bennion and also to albert chatterly ward but cant find martha mcghee anywhere although with a name like that i would imagine she was irish wether she came over from there or another member of the family i dont know

lets see if your as good as i think you are

neil

now now girls put the handbags away lol

Ann, don't need another OH, happy with the one I've had for 40 years!! Anyway, you're only jealous!!

Just returned. Apparently uxor is latin for wife and filia is latin for daughter.
Unfortunately I don't have access to Ancestry apart from going to the library which is closed today.. I'm sure someone else with give their advice.

could someone please check this for me, the thomas whalley i have b 1830 married jane marshall and he died 21 dec 1900 in heywood.

on ancestry its giving me a hint, it says thomas whalley b 1848 in blackburn died 21dec 1900 heywood if he is married to a jane i possibly have the wrong one? unfortunatly i dont have the funds to look at the hint
just seems strange exact death date and in heywood

couldnt wait to wake up today lol this is my first post on this forum and i cant belive how helpfull you all are thanks very much i have struggled with this tree for over 10 years mostly sat in the library with no internet, so my first job today is to follow cynthias link from last night and see if i find thomas myself. my next question is how or where can i find if he has any kids bearing in mind i have no subscriptions to look at the census ?

thanks guys
neil.

Have a look here, and keep checking back for updated transcriptions:

http://www.freereg.org.uk/cgi/Search.pl

There are currently 58 WHALLEY baptisms listed in Lancashire (try other spellings too). The format is a little simpler than the IGI (much will overlap), and the records may give more info - but keep in mind, mother's name is unlikely to be included in early parish baptism records.

There are those who have said I should be - a detective. It has also been whispered that I could make a career of blackmailing, with such an ability to ferret out facts ...

But that one was kinda obvious. ;)

Remember -- those are a lot of ifs! I'm quite fond of wild theories, but bare facts need some interconnecting in order to form a theory. ;)

are you a detective ? i wouldnt of thought of that for another 2 years no wonder im crap at this family tree lark
