Cheshire and Yorkshire have much less coverage ...... I'm waiitng for the Yorkshire ones so I can get some info on OH's family




sylvia

Does this site include Liverpool or West Derby?

jax

now I've done it to myself


found family search has Welsh Non-conformist records

OH's maternal line is Welsh


many are / were non-conformist




see you some time!


sylvia

lol!!

I've just come on here



sorry about the marking ..... but oh ain't that site fun?!!

Today has been a wasted day. No exam marking done (way behind), friend whose house flooded dropped in for an hour and stayed four hours, and then I come on here for 10 minutes before settling down to marking - and there is Sylvia's link to all those bloomin' genuine registers - and ALL my rellies come from bloomin' Lancashire and Cheshire.

Thanks a bunch Sylvia. :-)

If henry Snape was 40 in 1869 could this one be his death - possibly a more likely area than Preston

Deaths Jun 1875 (>99%)
Snape Henry 46 Prestwich 8d 246

the burial of the 1878 Henry Snape

Burial: 2 May 1878 St Leonard, Walton le Dale, Lancashire, England
Henry Snape - Son of Thomas Snape
Age: 49 years
Abode: Birch House Walton le Dale
Notes: [Father recorded as] the late Thomas Snape
Buried by: J. C. Kershaw
Register: Burials 1861 - 1880, Page 177, Entry 1412
Source: LDS Film 1526061

I think if he was married it would have said 'wife of'

Thank you Sylvia for those brilliant instructions - I'm in.

I have just been looking to see if the Henry Snape death is in there but it doesn't seem to cover Preston. I did find out from Lancs BMD that the district was Walton-Le-Dale but that doesn't help much.

I suggest entering it into Favourites when you get to the Name of County page!

Makes it a lot easier



I did have it in My Favourites from when I first found it back last November ...... but that link didn't work today, so I'm re-entering it.


I do know that beta.familysearch has changed its url in the last few weeks.

Val1963 - I wish I'd caught you in time -- no harm having mention of the Ancestry tree and the John Edward connection here -- so I'll leave my reply to the message you deleted at the bottom of page 3. ;)

So I believe ...

Sarah Elizabeth (marrying Snape in 1869)
Age 18
Spinster
no occupation shown
Address:- 12 James Street
Father:- William Hughes, Cuttler

... that translates as:

Janey Canuck IS ALWAYS RIGHT AND NEVER LIES!

Yes yes yes.

Not, of course, that this was a particularly difficult bit. ;)

Thats not fair I hav'nt got any northern ancestors. Lucky enough to have London ones though

............ found the part of familysearch that has some (not all) images from parish registers in Cheshire, Lancashire and Yorkshire, so you can see the actual image AND print it off


saves buying bmds IF you are lucky



sylvia

Found what? Please, somebody, explain what you are on about? I have just switched off my brain.

No mention of being a child molester then? there is a death for a Henry Snape in preston 1878 could be him then right sort of age
