Hi Joan, The Bullock St 1901 for Annie is great as I did not have that. I will have a look at that leas, as I had lost her. the only difficulty is that her husband in 1901 is saying he's a widower when his wife would still be alive. That's why I am still unsure about a 1903 death. enumerator mistake? Or him lying? ( Possibly seeing much younger Elizabeth Ann Bromiley by 1901 as they marry 1905? Plus he he kept knocking a few years off his age on 1901 and on his marriage cert. ) Just to let you know I have had the death certificate for Annie Fearnley for some time - was sure i sent details to you, but if not, it states Fishpool hospital , cancer of womb. This doesn't mean she was an inmate - just that she died in the hospital. It's a long while since I worked on this side of the tree , but without a closer inspection of my notes, am pretty sure I did not find a Bolton burial in Tonge nor Heaton registers for her. Think my next step was going to be Farnworth cemeteries, Lydia being born in Farnworth. Daughter Lydia 1901 on 32 Devon st Bury, a boarder with Oakes family - not livinig with Dad John Thomas Fernley - he's living alone on lever St - or alone that night. This implied they may have been separated by 1901- because they were separte on 1891 also. Will never know, but under JTF name entry on 1901 there is one row gap before the next house occupants are listed - may be nothing but there are no row gaps on the whole page. Point for interest for carol Laugher - when I was going through the St Michael's Cf E ( Great Lever, Bolton) registers there was a private baptism 23.9. 83 of a baby George Alfred Fearnley At St Batholomews C of E , address given was Stock Hilllock, no trade given for father in that column on cert. He crops up again living with his father JTF on 1891, but i lost track of this boy after that. ( Cant remember exact details now but St Batholomews C of E amalgamted with St Michael's Cf E at some point, but before it closed St Batholomews was very close to s.Hillock, off Nelson Street. APH's brother George baptised many of his children at St Michael's Cf E as well. Could not find Lydia's baptism at either. JTH's forebears - no further back than JTF's grandpa John fernley born Ludworth c. 1804. On the Bromiley front - when I was looking at Gale free news archives there was an entry about a Joseph Bromiley . It's in the Morning Chronicle Sep 29 1858 - Joseph Bromiley son of Mr Bromiley, clogger, Derby St Bolton is involved in " Another Stabbing Case at Bolton" and his conviction is in the Liverpool mercury 17 Dec 1858. Quite a funny story really - he must be one of your Bromileys, vaguely remember they were connected to that address. Hope something there is of use. sarah Message: 3 Date: Mon, 9 Jun 2008 20:37:06 -0400 From: Joan Bridges <[email protected]> Subject: [ENG-LAN-BOLTON] Lydia Fernley/Bradshaw marriage To: [email protected] Message-ID: <[email protected][192.168.0.101]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" ; format="flowed" Hi Carol. I was in touch with you quite some time ago with regards the above. Like Sarah, I have searched and searched for Lydia's marriage without success. She is not on FBMD: LBMD or Lan-OPC. My interest is in John Thomas Fernley, Lydia's father. He married 'my' Elizabeth Ann Bromiley in 1905. His first wife, Annie [Partington Houghton] Fearnley was, I believe, at 29 Bullock St. Bolton in 1901 (RG13/3618/159/26) She was married, age 41, no occupation. She was a visitor in the home of Frank & Mary E. Richardson. I have tried, but have not been able to find a connection between Annie & the Richardsons. There is a death for Annie Fearnley Bolton Dec Qtr. 1903 Age 43 LMBD Farnworth Reference No. FTH/78/341 >From experience, I have found that deaths registered in Farnworth for this time period, usually occurred at Fishpool [the workhouse] and the informant is usually the Master of the workhouse. But it might be worth an e mail to Bolton Register Office. e mail address [email protected] Not that any of this helps with the marriage you are looking for :-( HTH & Good luck.
