regards neil.

think Evie is your best best for digging up dirt!!!!!

Ann X

thanks ann

come on evie dig me up some dirt girl i love a good scandle although we aint even got out of heywood for last 200 and odd years so i wont hold my breath

neil.

likely she's asleep at the moment, but will be back for sure!!!

from the list given above by dea can you tell me what filla means ? as in

Burial: 3 Jun 1673 St Chad, Rochdale, Lancashire, England
filia Thomas Whaley

and also

uxor
as in
Burial: 4 Jul 1683 St Chad, Rochdale, Lancashire, England
uxor Ambrose Whaley

thanks neil

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

thanks neil.

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.

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

now now girls put the handbags away lol

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

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

Ward Sallie McGhee Bury 8c 717

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

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?

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.

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)

yeh thats a point maybe the registrar just spelt it as she thought or the other way around

Okay, I can't resist.

Births Dec 1887
Ward Albert Chatterley Bury 8c 546


So since Martha first married in 1902 (Bennion), Albert was likely a bit younger than her.

just checked out the matha you found ann yes it would fit and i just found this albert
WARD Albert 1888 Castleton Further Rochdale Lancashire CF/38/257
which is a bit neare her age unless she had a toy boy the fast cat, not sure how to link them now any help please
