Find Ancestors

He's my great great great grandad, I know he married Ellen Brooks in 1848 in Chorlton, Manchester and that he was born in Pendleton, Salford , (Lancs) around 1823.

I know the other sites turn up more info about parents names etc, Parish Records etc, is it possible someone could please do a look up for me for his marriage and his birth?

I promise when I get my Ancestry. subscription I will put my hours into helping folks here as I have been helped -

Thanks...

And it's free!!!!

Maureen

That is fantastic, thank you!

Would I need to visit the churches in Pendleton in person to get hold
of any birth records for him??

Thank you Maureen, off to have a look!

Maureen,

Such a pity, the relevant links on that site (for Salford) do not open for me.

On the left side of the page -go down to Search. Click that. You should get a page wich includes:
You may click here to begin searching the whole county.

Click that.

I can't guarantee you'll find anything more,but it should keep you out of trouble for a while!

I do not have access to census info so please could you put the ones up you have found.

Did you identify them in 1861

Ann!
got a lesson now, give me an hour please! Thanks!

while I'm waiting for my student, can I post files up here, like scanned copies of the censuses?

Please check your inbox Ann.

I found:
Samuel Morris in the 1861 census - Head - 39 - Labourer - born Pendleton , Salford.
Ellen Morris - Wife - 30 - born Salford
William Henry - Son - 7 - scholar - Salford
John - son- 5 - Salford
Walter - Son - 2 - Salford

having difficulty getting into my inbox but finally managed by going in a longwinded way.

Sorry I have to go out for a few hours but will be back on line later this evening.

OK Ann, see you later.

Samuel seems to be fairly easy to find in 1851 (at least I assume it is him as I can only see the 1 person not the houshold)

however on his marriage record the witnesses were William harrison and Mary harrison

did Samuel have a sister Mary?

Ann, in 1851 Samuel is living at 22 Union Street Salford with his parents in law, Joseph Brooks and Ellen Brooks , and Sam's wife Ellen and their son Joseph aged 2.

If this isn't the right Samuel, then everything I've done since the last month has been scuppered. :-\

btw, I am off to check your Sister Mary discovery! Brilliant work, thank you!
