Find Ancestors

Thanks again Jane, Best of luck, Michael

will be around most of the day if you need help with challenges !!!!

Hi again Jane, please would you help me with another look up? I'm looking for James and Elizabeth Shaw in 1841 and 51. In 1861 their ages were given as 55 and 54 respectively. They were born in Oldham but living in Ashton Under Lyne then so I would expect them to be in 1 of those place in '41 and '51. The family must also have lived in Lees at some time which is nearby. In 1861 they had children Mary 27, Sarah 25 and Robert 16 with them, all born in Oldham. I'm fairly sure they also had a son James who was 21 in '61. I hope that is enough info to find them - I know Shaw was a common name in that area and lots of them seemed to be called James!! Many thanks for your help Kate

Hi Kate, think this might be them in 1841 Pleasant sq. Betty Shaw abt 1811 Lancashire, England Prestwich cum Oldham Lancashire Hannah Shaw abt 1831 Lancashire, England Prestwich cum Oldham Lancashire James Shaw abt 1806 Lancashire, England Prestwich cum Oldham Lancashire SPINNER James Shaw abt 1839 Lancashire, England Prestwich cum Oldham Lancashire Mary Shaw abt 1836 Lancashire, England Prestwich cum Oldham Lancashire Sarah Shaw abt 1836 Lancashire, England Prestwich cum Oldham Lancashire William Shaw abt 1831 Lancashire, England Prestwich cum Oldham Lancashire But, they have vanished from 1851 though !!!! will keep seaching, lol Jx

Hi Jayne, Help please if you can. I'm looking for the Hammill family in Yorkshire in 1861. Probably in the Featherstone or Methley location. Head of family would be Samuel (a miner), present info indicates he would be aged between 35 & 50 with a son called Thomas aged 10/11. Thanks in anticipation >>> Walter
