I had a wonderful meal actually in a Cypriot restaurant. One of the owners is on genes and I met her for the first time last night.
That could be somewhere for your OH to bring you to AS.
Long cab ride though.
Surprisingly my head is not sore so you can stop shouting.

Daughter and her OH stayed overnight so I have been running round after 2 year old this morning.

Will start pondering over this last this afternoon then give you some answers.


Thanks every one.

Checked the Lancashire Parish records for Winders William 1869 and family. Found marriage you h ave and also same information for Ellen.

No similar information for any of the children (well not that makes any sense).


Do youhave a poor sore head?? Was it something you ate??

I can't go any further until I know if anything is on the right track.

I keep going back to the coal miner. Also found one who was a cart driver.

What we need is John Winders siblings. But then we need to find the correct John Winders before we can match his siblings in the census.

William Winders birth certificate would give us his father and mother would it not. It might also give us his mother's maiden name. If we know the mother it will be easier to chose the family in a census. It will also give us father's occupation.

Ladykira, whoo hoo, where are you???

Hey this is a reversal of the norm, me yelling for you!!

I have found your John - Window Glass Cutter. 1881 Census.

But it does not make any sense. His dob is 1855. He is married to Ann. They are the only two in the house. He does not have a readable family name on the census. What I think has happened and this could be wrong, is that his name and occupation have been muddled.

John ? Window Glass Cutter

John Winders, Glass Cutter. Oh I love speculation.

Now marriages. There are no marriages for Jessie Winders before 1932. Well not with this lot anyway. There are three possibilities, however she is a bit old and it might not be her because the deaths show her as Jessie Winders.

Here are the Winders births for William around 1869. Yours is the first one LK. I have removed any whose name was not William Winders. I agree with the thought that the birth in Mar 1865 is the most probable.

However, all are correctly named and all could be the other William. Some we may delete because of the location.





Name: William Winders
Birth: Jan Feb Mar 1917 - Prescot, Lancashire



Name: William Winders
Birth: Jun 1866 - Bury, Greater Manchester, Lancashire



Name: William Winders
Birth: Jun 1872 - Preston, Lancashire


Name: William Winders
Birth: Mar 1865 - Prescot, Lancashire


Name: William Joseph Winders
Birth: Mar 1874 - Preston, Lancashire


Name: William Winders
Birth: Sep 1868 - Burton Upon Trent, Derbyshire, Staffordshire

Hi Stevie

That would be the correct marriage for Susan's William. she has the certificate. Ellen is another story because her father is Smith I think I sent her the correct family once but she has built a a tree around her that does not make sense, But for now I want to concentrate on the Winders side. I came up with the same family as you but that would make another Winders tree wrong so I would like something definite before I broach that one.

Oh dear
you have misunderstood.

I have my tree fully researched with certificates and census references.
I have John William Winders 1868 and know all about him.

My problem is that Susan is researching William Winders 1869.There are similar names in her family so she keeps on attaching my family to hers, She has got herself into such a muddle. She has given me access to her tree to amend it but a few months later it is all back. On speaking to other researchers I have found she has done the same thing. I think she is interested but has no research skills. She has given me permission to help her. I think she is probably related to me but at an earlier point. I have studied all the records I have available but I do not have Ancestry. I would like someone to have a look at them for me. Thankyou.
