There are lots of Hulme's in Bolton, as I expect you know. Trying to nail the one from whom I'm descended is proving quite a challenge, especially as his birth date seems variable! The Hulme's I'm looking for would also have been Methodists, as I know that Thomas, the son of the James I'm looking at was married in a Wesleyan Methodist ceremony, but James, the person I'm researching was married in a Catholic church (St Maries Chapel) Just for clarity, I've no reason to think that my Hulme's were at Turton / Egerton, all I know is that James gives Haliwell as his birth place. It's my Fielding and Middleton lines that lead through Turton. At the same time, there are Hulme's in Turton in 1861 and it could be my family. Cheers, Pete PS. Nice Website!
