Hi Lynne,

This looked likely, but then I found that Nellie did not pass away until 1987

I'm afraid I have had no luck with the others as there are too many of the same name

Hi Jacqueline,

I'm searching for the last location and death dates of my Grandmother Lydia Mellors and her second husband. She was born Lydia Knowles 1889 in Bury, first marriage was to David Mitchell in Halifax in 1907 where they lived, after his death I know she married Frank Mellor (not sure where he was born) in Lambeth in June qtr of1937 . I am assuming they lived and died in Lambeth thereafter.

Can you help please ?

Thank you, Frank

Edit:- It appears Lydia was living in Halifax in the early 1940's staying with her son - but Mellor wasn't with her - so she may have separated from him unless he had died.

Hi Jackie,

Thanks for looking up the Spencer details for me

Hello Jacqueline and thank you for your kind offer to help.
On the 1871 census I am looking for Stephen and Margaret Aspinall, (or Aspinwall) both born about 1835 and their children Margaret and Ellen and possibly Catherine.
Stephen worked on the barges on the Leeds/Liverpool Canal. Obviously not sure if they were 'on board' or at home on census night. The family were from the Burscough/Lathom area of Lancashire but travelled on the boats up to Liverpool.
Thank you again, from Beryl

Hi Beryl,

It looks as though their surname was transcribed incorrectly

Oh Jacqueline, thank you so very much for finding the Aspinall family. It has been such a big help.
Thanks again, from Beryl x

Hi Beryl,

My pleasure

Let me know if you need help out there

Jackie

Hi Jacqueline,

Perhaps you missed my request for help a couple of days ago, regarding Lydia Mellor or was there a problem, maybe insufficient information. Please let me know,Thank you.

Frank

Hi Frank,

Sorry I missed your message before.

There are quite a few of the same name, so a bit difficult. But I found this one in Halifax as that is where you last know of her and age is correct

hello jackie plrase could you help the 1911 census i have found in my nans house as well as her family their are

henry denley his wife catherine son roy my nan is frances mary denley nee cawley head of household with her children at hendon london

i am trying to find the link between the two family.s thanking you in advance

Thank you so much Jackie for that.

Yes it makes perfect sense to me as Lydia was born in the September quarter of 1889, so if she died in the first half of 1945 (your search doesn't say which quarter) she would have been 55. Also she died before I was born in 1947 which fits too. Since posting this request I believe I have found a GR contact who is Frank Mellors step daughter. She tells me he remarried in Halifax (to her mum) in 1953 and died In Halifax some time in 1958. So the mystery is unravelling, thanks for your help !

Hi Sally,

Could you give me their ages please

Regards Jackie

Hi Dionne,

I'm afraid there are too many of the same name to be certain, without a clue to either a husband's name or any children, sorry

As they are from Gloucestershire and the othe rfamily London, it is a matter of getting marriage certificates and working backwards. They are most likely cousins of some sort.
