Find Ancestors

hi teresa thanks for trying wendy

Hi Sarah; I have tried every spelling variation I can think of but nothing on Catherine Mclaurin. The one suggestion I can make is that if you are using a disc search also look under the letter L. On the BVRI if the name is Mc it is listed under the next letter of the name (McLaurin), if it is MacLaurin it is under the letter M. I hope that helps. Teresa in Canada

Hi Carol; the earliest I can find a record for George Westwell in Lancs is 1841. There are a couple of Westwell families in the Blackburn, Salesbury and Haslingden areas around that time but I don't see George. There are parents George and Peggy with children in Salesbury and Balderston(I think these are the same parents for both entries. Does any of this sound like it would be of use to you?

wow, thanks alot. can you look up George Westwell born c1811 in Halshaw Moor which is in the Bolton aera of lancs Lancs.

Hi Karen; Sorry, no luck on the Mitchell/ Rice/ Sutherland names.

Hi Wendy; Longton comes under Preston, but there are no entries for William Barron. There are entries for 1821, 22 , 23, 28 and 29 in Blackburn, 1819 in Upholland. In Preston there is a Barron family around 1825 with parents Robert and Jane. Children's names are Grace and Betty. Let me know if you want any of these.

Hi Theresa Looking for Mary Ann Dolan, Roscommon, could be Gallowstown, Roscommon. Born 1895 though I don't have the full date. Father's name was Michael but he signed birth cert with an M. I don't know where birth cert has gone and I'm trying to find mother of Mary Ann. Any help would be truly appreciated Thanks

Thanks Teresa, I think it would be worth looking at the Westminster family. Henrys second name is Thomas and they had a daughter Marian. If you be kind and forward the details? Jean

Hi Kate; I copied and pasted the information on William and his sister so I am not sure if it is a mistake. Perhaps the vicar was only available then. I have one of my families where all five of the children were baptised on the same day. Sometimes the addition in the original records is the date of birth in addition to the baptismal date. The original record would have to be checked to know for sure.

Hi Jean; the only Jones/ Watkins marriage that is close is for John Jones and Mary Ann Watkins 1866 in Bristol. He is 61, she is 41. I have found a couple of children for a Thomas and Mary Ann Jones in Westminster in 1854 and 1861, James and Marion-Agnes. None for Henry and Mary Ann. If any of these are of inerest, let me know and I will post the details.
