Hello Lynn Thanks for the email. I just thought I would post the following just to jog people`s memories about Fylde areas. Fylde Created 1st July 1837 Sub-districts : Blackpool; Fleetwood; Kirkham; Lytham; Poulton-le-Fylde GRO volumes : XXI (1837-51); 8e (1852-1930) Bispham with Norbreck, Blackpool, Bryning with Kellamergh, Carleton, Clifton with Salwick, Elswick, Fleetwood, Freckleton, Greenhalgh with Thistleton, Hardhorn with Newton, Kirkham, Layton with Warbreck, Little Eccleston with Larbreck, Lytham, Marton, Medlar with Wesham, Newton with Scales, Poulton le Fylde, Ribby with Wrea, St. Annes on Sea, Singleton, Thornton, Treales Roseacre and Wharles, Warton, Weeton and Preese, Westby with Plumpton. Registers now divided between Blackpool and Fleetwood & Fylde districts. Blackpool Registers are still at Blackpool, the others in the area are now in the new Preston Register Office. Guess Lancaster list covers from the River Wyre to the south and to the east, well maybe the edge of the County and north, not sure how far, again maybe the County boundary. Olive

Hi Lynne - is the new Lancaster list available yet? Jackie

Any boundaries would be appreciated. > Hi Olive I requested the list such a long time ago (months!) that I've completely forgotten what boundaries I specified. I'm sure I used the info on GENUKI to determine the boundaries, but I'll be damned if I can find that info now. How about that area around Lancaster north to Cumbria, east to that "Y" county <vbg>, and south /south-east to the area encompassed by the Fylde? It doesn't look like the Preston list covers Garstang and Cockerham, so you're more than welcome to discuss these areas on the Lancaster list. Of course, you're always safe in posting to LancsGen. Best wishes, Lynne

Dear Friends, A few of you have expressed a wish for a Lancaster list. Well, your wishes became my command. ;-) You're invited to join the ENG-LAN-LANCASTER list and share your expertise and queries with others interested in genealogy and the history in and around the City of Lancaster. I can't point you to an information page for the list because there isn't one yet. You can subscribe, however, by sending a message in plain text to ENG-LAN-LANCASTER-request@rootsweb.com (for List mode) or to ENG-LAN-LANCASTER-D-request@rootsweb.com (for Digest mode) with the single word "subscribe" (without inverted commas) in both the subject line and body of the message with no additional text. Best wishes, Lynne

Hello, I have found some infant deaths for some children who I think could belong to Joseph Turley and Isabella Mary (nee Pollard) If anyone could find the births or burials for any of these I would be very grateful for your help. Elizabeth Turley born 1902, died 1902 Joseph Turley born 1903, died 1909 age 6 Frederick Turley born 1904 died 1904 Irene Turley born 1906. died 1906. TIA Cynthia

Dear Digest subscribers, Please remember that if you don't care for the new digest format, let me know off list and I'll be happy to switch your subscription to a setting similar to the old format. I've made this offer several times before, but so few of you have requested the change, I thought I'd better mention it again. Best wishes, Lynne

resending message Hello all I have a possible marriage in 1902 between James Crowther and Sarah Alice Black in Salford and a death of a Sarah Alice Crowther in Fylde in 1905. Sarah was 26 when she died. I am wondering if any others on the list are researching these families. Sarah would have been the first wife of James Crowther, the second was my g aunt Helen Lydia Rushton, in 1908. I sent this to the LANCS list earlier with no luck. I am only guessing that Sarah Alice Black married James Crowther. I checked on the GRO list for marriages between 1901 and 1908 and then checked for deaths. Even the 1911 won't help as both marriages took place between 1901 and 1911 and he died in 1910. She is only in the family briefly, so sadly not worth buying lots of certificates to prove her identity. I just like to tidy up all loose ends. Regards beth in NS

Dear Listers, It appears that the mail caught in RootsWeb's servers has now been delivered. If you posted to the list over the past five or so days and haven't received a response, please consider re-posting. With all the confusion caused by mail being delivered slowly and out of order, it's very possible that your message was overlooked. Best wishes, Lynne
