Hi Pete, This is getting very strange. James Brindle is living in Astley Street, Little Bolton in 1881 and 1891. He is a book-keeper. Living next door to him in 1881 is a John Rigby, who I think could be the son of John Rigby and Ann Hulme, who used to live in Dawson Lane. I have seen this James Brindle before, when I was doing my own research, as Astley Street is next to Myrrh Street, where my great grandparents William and Ann Brindle were living in 1891 and where my grandmother was born Alice Brindle was born in 1894. I don't think there is a connection between my Brindles and James Brindle. Anne in Bolton. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Pete Hulme" <phulme@glasshouse.com> To: <ENG-LAN-BOLTON-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, May 30, 2006 5:54 PM Subject: Re: [ENG-LAN-BOLTON] JAMES BRINDLE 1851 CENSUS > Hi again, Anne > > I've rechecked the 1861 and James Brindle is listed as "Book Keeper in a > Foundry" an educated man's job, I think, so very likely the James at > Manchester Cathedral College in 1851 is this one. > > Cheers, Pete > > ________________________________ > > From: Pete Hulme [mailto:phulme@glasshouse.com] > Sent: Tue 30/05/2006 15:07 > To: ENG-LAN-BOLTON-L@rootsweb.com > Subject: RE: [ENG-LAN-BOLTON] JAMES BRINDLE 1851 CENSUS > > > > Hi Anne, > It sounds possible.
