Hi Pete, When I met Margaret in Bolton Archives recently, a man overheard us talking about Dent. He said that a lot of people came to Bolton from Dent because of the Quaker connection. I think my husband's ancestor Robert Burrow(s) may have come to Bolton from Dent, but as far as I know they were not Quakers.

Just a thought, does anyone know why there was so much migration specifically from Dent at this time? My ancestor Joseph Middleton made the move and I've always assumed that it was just one of those things, especially as he was a coachman and so relatively mobile. He did however go back and marry Nancy Stackhouse from Thornton in Lonsdale and bring her back to Bolton (Turton) From what I can gather Dent isn't that big a place and we now have at least three (apparently unconnected) people or families making the Dent to Bolton move. I know Bolton was growing massively at this time with industrialisation, but it seems a big coincidence to have so many people moving from Dent, which is hardly next door. Does anyone know if there's a connection I'm missing?

Hi Jan, I'm not up to speed on RC churches, but as I haven't seen a response to your question I suggest you consult the GENUKI church database. The ecclesiastical district you refer to is Holy Trinity rather than Holy Family. The database will show you all the churches close to Holy Trinity. Go to http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/churchdb/ and enter the OS reference for Holy Trinity, which is SD718086 I'll leave you to decide which church in the list might be the right one, unless any one on the list can offer more informed help.

Hello Sandie I don't have much to add, just a query about some of your information. You said that in 1891 Emily Shepherd is in Bolton and her birthplace is given as Blackley, Northampton. Then you say that in later census returns Emily's birthplace is given as Bolton. The only later available census is 1901 by which time she is Emily McInnes married to George. Is she not with her family in Oldham at that time as follows (I don't have access to Ancestry, so the following people are on the same census page, but admittedly not necessarily the same family)? George McI 29 b.Scotland Carter Emily McI 29 born Northampton Blackley Gertrude McI 10 bBolton Sarah McI 8 bBolton George 6 bOldham Emily 5 bOldham Agnes 3 bOldham This would fit with the couple being married in Bolton in 1892, possibly with their ages fudged up to 21. Anne mentioned a Gertrude born in Bolton 1880 - I'd guess she was the one born in Sharples with parents Joseph & Mary J. in the 1881 census, living in Manchester. Peter Wood

It has always been the goal of the Lancashire Online Parish Clerks to provide a search function for the data extracted from Parish Registers. This search function is now availble. The search is designed to simplify the problem of mulitple spelling for names. It does not accept wild cards, just enter the normal spelling for a name that is used today and it should return all instances of that name, however it was spelled in the register. Don't try to be too clever with spelling since this may result in no matches. Searches are based on a parish. Where there are records from more than one church in that parish, the desired church may be selected from the drop down box. Searches may also be conducted on that whole parish or on the whole county. There is no facility to select more than one parish at the same time. You will find a link to the Search function on the OPC home page:- http://www.lan-opc.org.uk/ Or you may go direct to the Search function at:- http://www.lan-opc.org.uk/Search/indexp.html If anyone encounters any problems, please contact me privately at:- rpd_opc@yahoo.com Regards, Paul Dixon Carrollton, Texas Co-ordinator, Lancashire OnLine Parish Clerks __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Hi Anne, Thanks for the birth cert and 1861 census suggestion, which I'll follow up. I've actually trawled through the BMD records name by name, using all the variant spellings I can think of, and I can't locate any likely Emily Shepherd to have been born in Northamptonshire around 1871, or any marriage cert for a James Shepherd to a Rosa. Perhaps James was just a made-up name to cover up the fact that Rosa wasn't married. It does seem worth applying for those two birth certs so thanks again for the suggestion.

Peter, You're absolutely right of course - I think I've got myself confused by going round in circles so many times, and I now can't remember where I saw Emily listed as having been born in Lancashire, or maybe I just dreamt it. Thanks for putting me back on the right track. (The family you mention from the 1901 census is definitely the right one, their oldest daughter Gertrude being my grandmother.)

Hi Sandie, I have found the following on the Free BMD's Emily Shepherd born March Qtr. 1872 Bolton Gertrude Shepherd born June Quarter 1880 Bolton. You could apply to the Register Office at Mere Hall, Bolton for the birth certificates and ask them to send them if the mother's name is shown as Rosa. This will probably explain who the father was.
