Sue - > Emmanuel Downhill, b.c1820, "Engineer", 1840 on his son's birth > certificate Collier's Row, Newton & Godley in the County of Chester Looks as though I guessed right about Newton! I'm assuming that you live in America, since you call it a 'railroad' rather than a 'railway'. You may also think that an 'engineer' is a locomotive driver. Not in England! By 1840, the building of railways in England was just getting into its stride. the Manchester & Birmingham Rly was opened through Stockport in 1

Hi Everyone, Can someone please check a possible entry for me in the 1861 census for Liverpool. I am desperately looking for THOMAS & JANE HAYES and family. Their address was 23 Court , Bostock St., Liverpool in 1856 when their son William was born.

Hi again all, Can anyone tell me where this place is and if it still exists what is there now? My Grandfather was born at 28 Stoke Street, Claughton, district of Birkenhead. Thank you very much!! Shelley Firth
6. [CHESHIRE-L] FARNDON [0.971382]
I can't say off hand where a good source of information can be had on the village of FARNDON, but I can tell you it is a most attractive place situated on a hill above the River Dee. The main street runs down to a medieval bridge that crosses the river into the Welsh border town of HOLT. The A534 road now by-passes both locations thus adding to the attraction of the two places. The Cheshire Museum Services run an old mill close to Farndon, so maybe they have some literature on the place. Allan Harmer
7. Re: [CHESHIRE-L] Example of a Marriage License [0.971382]
I've just remembered that I meant to reply to this note. My husband & I were married by special licence. It was war time - The Falklands, but we were over from NZ on a trip, & it was easier to marry us here than to take all the folks to NZ. The licence itself is beautiful, much nicer than the marriage certificate. It about 45 cm by 37 cm - 18 inches by 16, with an octagonal seal hanging from it. It reads: Robert Alexander Kennedy by Divine Providence Archbishop of Canterbury Primate of all England a

Chris Thank you very much for you explanation of Bowden. This question has been nagging away for the last 5 years. I did some research in Matlock records office in 1993, but time was all so short. I was stopping with my own living relatives in Yorkshire, who took first priority but I still found time to visit Chinley Registry office and the old Slack papermill at Hayfield. My wife knew noting of her own heritage, which is proving to be extremely interesting. I am currently obtaining the old Wills from Litc

Have just found a second hand book on LEONARD CHESHIRE written by Russell Braddon, basically a biography on Leonard. Anyone who has connections to this man is welcome to the book. It says he was born in Chester but left when he was one year old. Great-grandfather Christopher, son Walter, Leonards own father Dr. G.C. Cheshire etc. I am sure many know him and may have the book but thought there may be someone out there who could use it as it is most likely out of print now. Hope it can help someone but could

Thanks for that Sue - interesting reading - I've never heard of most of those. It makes me think that cordwainer was the most usual term for a shoemaker of people's shoes.

Dear Doug, I am passing your message on to other appropriate lists, to see if you can get better input than mine. Since many Chester Co. families came from Cheshire England, you might also want to join that list, in addition to those listed above. I have a Mary Greenaway (1662-1723)who marrried Thomas Mercer of Aynho Northamptonshire, and Elizabeth Pennell (1670-1692) of Balderton Parish, Nottinghamshire, who married Josiah Taylor, all of who removed to Willistown. There has been some information on the

I know what you folks have put down in a few paragraphs would have taken me a long time to gather. I will certainly use every tidbit. My sincere appreciation to all. And, yes, I knew about the engineer occupation description - ENGINEER A person who designed roads, bridges, or machinery. Also a person who drove or serviced any machinery such as engine drivers.

A blacksmith often fits horse shoes as well as mending ploughshares, and other wrought iron work.

22. [CHESHIRE-L] Census Index 1851 [0.971382]
Hello Steve Greatorex, I have the index for Runcorn, 1851: let me know the neames you want to look up. Perhpas I should say it shows surnames only, followed by the folio numbers with any person, one or many, of that name. So really it is only a short cut to the correct pages, and each page has to be studied for the actual entries. There is a list of the places covered by sets of folio numbers, so if you have any idea of the village, township, further short cuts may be possible. Donald Massey
