Find Ancestors

Hi Barbara
Thanks for the add of richard, i didnt have that, but i do remember he was in a public grave.
But the Colne connection is wrong. Someone a while ago decided the colne lot were ours, but they arent. It would be good if they were, there is a lot of info and a book on the colne duxburys, and i work in colne in the library so i would be in the ideal spot.
They do have a mark duxbury born 1858 though, so not sure if somewhere they have a distant connection. They do have a thomas born at a similar time. But think i have tracked that thomas, and he is not the same as mine. They are probably down on the 1841 census in colne(nancy and thomas) as danbury like lots of the duxbury's on ancestry. will have a look. think it was a distant cousin who connected us to the colne lot, and he was very good at research, so i will double check in case i have missed something, but i think i did find something in the past that disproved it.
thanks barbara
will post if i find that disproving fact . :-)

Hi Barbara
Just been looking at the colne duxburys via the duxbury family tree which is now run by ron, but was formerly run by peter duxbury. On here, the thomas you mention is baptised in 1823 at colne parish church and it seems like they are living in waterside colne while they have their children. i suppose, as i dont notice them having children after thomas as a couple, this is maybe why they may be thought to have moved over to rishton/oswaldtwistle area.? And on the site, there is no mention of this thomas marrying. I dont know, but i am sure i found something to disprove they originated in colne. going to keep on looking.

Hi Barbara
just to add, just found proof that thomas duxbury born colne in 1823 is not the same as my thomas, born rishton area. Colne thomas married ann kershaw in 1845 in rochdale of all places. And he died around 1895 i think. So the ancestry tree is wrong, is there any way of altering that info so noone else makes the same mistake ?? Jonesy seemed to know how to let them know of errors.?

Hi Shirley
This is the link to the tree

http://trees.ancestry.co.uk/tree/27158286/person/2003837820

It does say they haven't been on for 3 months ---but you can click on their name and send a message.

I have searched for hours on the 1841 census, but still coming up with nothing :-S

Hi Barbara
Thanks for that. Yes, difficult one. The tree on ancestry wont let me open it. I can only open it in work, i work in library at colne, we have free subscription there. Does it give a name of the person. ? wondering if its geoff duxbury? he is a distant cousin, and years ago he did suggest we were connected to the colne lot, but i was never convinced. dont know why, just instinct maybe|? Think in work we dont have access to full ancestry, as i dont usually get to go on trees, just the search stuff. Will ask a friend and maybe try and get message to them that way.
Its just one of those mysteries that i hope one day to solve. Really grateful for all your help, and jonesy's too. Will let you know if i ever succeed in finding who john duxbury really is.
