Just to add (I got a bit carried away with this!):

The sister with the unreadable name in that 1912 travel record in my last post was his married sister Lavinia Courville:

Lavinia Patchett Barnes
in the Massachusetts, U.S., Marriage Records, 1840-1915
Name: Lavinia Patchett Barnes
Age: 24
Birth Year: abt 1874
Birth Place: England
Marriage Date: 17 Jan 1898
Marriage Place: Fall River, Massachusetts, USA
Father: Benjamin Patchett Barnes
Mother: Margaret Knowles
Spouse: Henry Courville

They're living in Division Street (though not 119 ) in 1900.
They're at 1919 in 1911,

Lavinia's previous marriage:

Lavinia Packett
in the Massachusetts, U.S., Marriage Records, 1840-1915
Name: Lavinia Packett
Age: 17
Birth Year: abt 1874
Birth Place: England
Marriage Date: 5 Mar 1891
Marriage Place: Fall River, Massachusetts, USA
Father: Benjamin Packett
Mother: Margaret Packett
Spouse: John W Barnes

Manasseh's sister Edna married Cornelius Cropper in 1880 in Burnley.
Edna and Cornelius seem to have separated. They're together in 1881, but by 1901 the woman listed as his wife is called Emily , and in 1911 she's Elizabeth Anne.

Edna went to Canada in 1883, and remarried in Hyde Park, Massachusetts in 1895, to Frank St John, but I don't see her after that.
Edna & Cornelius's daughter Mary Elizabeth married her cousin James Mackwell in Fall River in 1910.

James was a son of Edna's sister Mary (Mary was born Knowles, before their mother's marriage), who married Eli Mackwell in Burnley in 1876.

Mary and another son, Ben, went to Fall River in 1911, presumably to visit her now married son James.
They were going to stay with Lavinia at 119 Division Street.

Mary isn't with Eli in 1921, and he's listed as a widower in 1939, but I don't see Mary's death 1911-21 - unless it's this one with a new middle initial:

Deaths Dec 1913 (>99%)
Mackwell Mary E 57 Burnley 8e 367



Ben was a baker, and still unmarried in 1943, when he travelled to Alaska, having been living in Vancouver, with Canadian nationality.

But maybe you know all that already!

Thankyou fir that last message argyle gran. Appreciate it, only just seen this. Thankyou x :-)

thanks everyone for all your help. I have become fascinated by this man manneseh. He seemed to cramn a, lot into his life. He also went to fall river I noticed in 1912. He must presumably have been back by 1917 as his son John was born around then. I wonder if he found life in America too tough. His sister I think was living there, Mary, I think.
Thanks again <3 :-)

‘Unfounded assumption’ is a bit harsh. Just the word assumption would still have conveyed the message.

Do you have these?

Manesseh Patchett

The year of birth is 10 years out, if the transcription is accurate, but it's probably him.

There was another Manasseh Padgett, 1838-1910, but he was born and lived all his life in Yorkshire.

It could, as I said earlier, simply be awful handwriting........

You’re making an unfounded assumption about who registered the birth…………… :-S :-S :-S

thanks for that Erika. much appreciated. maybe that's why it sounded like chickerall. If Scottish accent was very broad? thanks for all the info everyone. it's really helpful.

ah thanks for that. we'll spotted Erika. I thought it was odd. don't know about the Williams maiden name though for John patchett. Unless Bella maiden name was Williams perhaos, catherines mother? Well done for getting Catherine born in Scotland. I did check for chisholme and it did look like a lot were Scotland but you found the exact one. thanks. Thsnks for all the hard work. rumour was that there was another brother of ephraim named humphrey, the 1882 ephraim. But can't find a humphrey so that may just be a, rumour. Mannaseh still having kids in his 65 year is good going, but he did marry a younger wife second time round. Good biblical names. I reckon maybe mannaseh and his first wife Mary were buried in Nelson or Colne as I can't find a burnley burial for them. :-)

I also noticed, thanks for posting 1921, thst it says Edna was born in 1913 to Catherine and mannaseh but when I checked the lbmd earlier it says Edna was not born until 1920. And her mothers maiden name was Chickeral. I think that coukd be mispronounced chisholm. But odd about the 7 year difference in tears for Edna?
