Hi My g-g-g-grandmother Harriet Crompton married John Clough in 1796. I have been unable to find her. Is it possible that this Harriet might have been a descendant of the paternal side of the family? Donna Collinge Martens

Hi Sharon, Please look at the previous e-mail where I listed the generations. John S. Booth m. Sarah Scowcroft. They had a daughter Mary Booth b. 10 Aug 1802, Harwood Lee, Bolton, Lancashire, England, d. ? m. 29 May 1822 (presumably in Bolton) to William Entwistle, dates unknown. I am pretty sure we are referring to the correct families here. The coincidence would be too great in my opinion. I have no other information on Mary & William though and I assume they stayed in England. The parents of John S. b. 1773 were Richard & Ann and Richard's father was also John, wife unknown. I DO NOT believe this is the correct John though as the dates don't quite line up but it is possible that your John is a sibling/cousin of my Richard. I have no information on Richard's siblings if there were any?

Thank you so much Valerie, I'm sure your right. I was very confused by the Gloucestershire information that was someone else's research. It didn't seem right to me and now you have confirmed that. This is certainly the right John Booth, his father was Richard and his mother is Ann Unknown. It is my belief that Richard and Ann were married at St. Peter's or possible Edgeworth and I believe Ann was baptized there also. I just wish I knew her maiden name. Much of my information is from person's long gone, and I have inherited it. I am slowing in the process of sourcing it properly.

Dear Val, I hope i am sending this attempt of getting my own personal advert listed, to the right email address, I am researching anybody with the surname of either MCGOWEN or MCGOWAN in the Bolton area since 1874. My gt-grandfather (George McGowan) was born in Manchester in 1848 and is listed on the 1851 census, he walked it to Westhoughton,worked as a miner, and lived as lodger with a family called Kearsley. He got married to a woman from the Daubhill area named Harriet CROMPTON and all his children were born and raised around that area. He died in 1896 and lived at No.55 Rosamond Street, Daubhill. As the children grew up they married into these local families, of which i would love to email with anytime in the near future. Sarah Ann MCGOWEN married Alfred JONES, also from Rosamond Street James MCGOWEN married Catherine HOWCROFT(emmigrated to Canada, then Australia) Jonathon Crompton MCGOWEN married Catherine BOOTH, Sapling Road Ralph MCGOWEN married Mary Jane ORMROD, also from Rosamond Street, (emmigrated to Canada, then Australia) George MCGOWEN married Mary HOSKER (formerly BROOKS) of the Deane area and Blackledge Street, then Shurmer Street. Margaret MCGOWEN, (55 Rosamond Street) never married. Hannah MCGOWEN, died after 3 months. Thomas Alfred MCGOWEN, never married, (emmigrated to Canada then Australia.) Can anyone relate to these people or marriages? Jeff McGowen

Hi Anne, I don't know whether this is any help to you but my ancestors who lived in the St. Luke's area were buried in Heaton Cemetery.

Hi Anne, To my knowledge there was no burial ground at St. Luke's, which closed several years ago. A smaller church was later built, a few yards further up Chorley Old Road.

Other sites cover Yorkshire, Cheshire, Staffordshire, W. Midlands, N. Wales, Wiltshire and Bath. Ian Hartas who designed the original system has now introduced a facility to search across all of these databases and this is available at http://www.ukbmdsearch.org.uk/ Searches will provide the same facility of printing an order form for a certificate to send to the office concerned.

When I first started researching my family history some years ago, I got these wrong certificates, so offer them to anyone researching this line:- Marriage cert. 2 Sep.1882 St.Pauls Church, Bolton. Thomas Holden 20 Bachelor Labourer 6 Hanover St. father James Holden Iron Plainer Betsy Edmondson 19 spinster 2 Stable Row father George Edmondson Joiner Witnesses Charles Edmundson & Margret Ann Currie Birth certificate 20th Dec.1882 2 Stable Row Thomas boy Thomas Holden & Betsy Holden formerly Edmonson Outdoor Labourer Anouska

William Fogg married Mary Holden in Bolton, 1771. They have two daughters christened there, Ann 1773 and Mary 1775 then seem to disappear. Seemingly out of nowhere, a William and Mary Fogg appear and christen children in Liverpool, Nancy 1776, James 1779, Fanny 1781 and Samuel 1785. I`m wondering, if this is the same couple. Can anyone help ? Lesley

Hello Valerie and Anne First of all, many thanks for your work. It's very kind. Of the three familes you suggest the Greenalls, Turton family is the right age. The Greenalls Sarah was 12 in 1841 and 42 years on the 1871 census, but I dont recognise any of the other names as family names that appear later - perhaps that's not imoprtant. Again, many thanks.
