Hi Maureen: Many thanks for your response to my plee. Most of my info was garnered through the 1881 census which showed William's and Jane's birth place as Warrington. Saying that, you and Peter in Sydney, are both pointing me in the direction of Surrey. This may be the reason, that I've been up against a brick wall for the past 6 months. Terry - your help was great too! I must say this first, to everyone on the list - I really didn't know how valuable these "Lists" were until I tried it, and I truly appreciate all the helpful advice I've received since posting. Keep up the good work. I now believe my direction was wrong, and Maureen - if you would be so kind as to forward me the census images offlist, I would greatly appreciate it. They would be truly food for thought as I follow the twisted (and often surprising) genealogy highway. Thank you for your personal time you invested in finding this info for me.

I'm just new to this list, so please bear with me. I'm originally from Southampton, but imigrated to Canada back in 1957. I presently reside in Southern Nova Scotia. I've been tracing my FIELD family back, and have hit a brick wall in Warrington. William Samuel FIELD was born there in 1825 and was married to a Jane (Unknown) born in 1831. I can only assume that shortly after their marriage, they moved to Portsea and had 4 children as follows: John FIELD b. 1860 Richard Alfred FIELD b. 1866 Henry FIELD b. 1869 Catherine FIELD b. 1872 My line was through Richard. Anway, I would like to find out who William's parents were and his wife Jane's maiden name. I would appreciate any help on my next backward step.

Hello Thomas I have a directory of Warrington c1908 and there is a Thomas W PAYTON a Coal Dealer at 82 Church Street. Regards Celia

Sorry, I should have mentioned that my g.g. grandfather at 82 Church Street had my name as well, Thomas Birchall. He was born in 1834 and passed away in 1906 at that location of his business. I believe that businesses typcally were located at street level, and that families normally lived upstairs on the second floor. Does anyone have any pictures by chance of this part of Church Street around the turn of the century or prior? Does anyone know what happened to the T. W. Payton Hardware store by chance? After 1906 it was the business of Thomas W. Payton and Emily [Birchall] Payton (born 1871). I know from the picture that they had at least one son. Thanks again, Thomas Birchall

I wonder if anyone has researched Church Street? My great great grandfather had a hardware store at 82 Church Street, and also lived at 72 Church Street. I went back to Warrington and discovered that this street has changed quite drastically with a lot of buildings pulled down, including the above addresses. In fact, I believe there is a parking lot at those locations today. The location is approximately across the street from the old Church of England school that was there at the turn of the century. I have a picture dating to about 1910, with 'T. W. Payton Hardware Store' at 82 Church Street, which was my g.g. grandfather's daughter and son-in-law, who apparently inherited the business from him. Any other research regarding this location, or business directories floating around? Thank you, Thomas Birchall TX

A friend (surname Swift) was asking me if i remembered a shoe repairer/maker 'Harris 28 Green Street, Warrington' in the early 20 th century. Details apparently from the 1901. One of the Harris,s apparently married a 'Swift'. Am an oldie but don,t recollect such a shop on the green. whereabout is 28? Happy days

Hi listers, I have just found some new family in Warrington. I have found a Francis (Stanley) MALKIN currently living on Wellfield St, Warrington. I believe that he is the son of Stanley MALKIN & Violet Elizabeth WASHINGTON, which would make him my 3rd cousin, once removed. Violet is part of my ROONEY family which I am researching at the moment. Francis possibly had brothers Frederick, Charles, Stewart, Michael - though I have found no trace as yet, these were possibly surname GARDNER as Violet Elizabeth WASHINGTON was first married to TREVOR GARDNER in Warrington 1934. I have found Violet's death in Warrington in 1987, but mot much else. If anyone can help me with any info on this family I would much appreciate it.

Fellow Listers, Could somebody please help find this family in 1841 or 1851 Census for Lancashire. George Challender (vars Challendar, Challinor) was born 1838 near Horwich, but other nearby locations like Blackrod, Chorley etc seem to be likely. His parents were George born c 1797 and Betty (Elizabeth). But that's all I know. I am trying to find parents ages and birthplaces which most likely mean 1851 data. I am also interested in any other children. Many thanks for any assistance. Peter in Sydney

Hi all, I am looking for a look-up on 1841 Census for the above named person. He is noted as living with his mother and stepfather? And stepbrothers and sister as well as half brothers and sisters 1851 census. I thought if I could find him as just recent after birth or close to it, then we could find his father and mother together and then find marriage for them ... Can anyone help. ? Thomas would have been born around 1840 according to 1851 census which states that he is 11 years old, although 1901 census states that he is born abt 1844 ??? Thanks Desiree Calgary, Alberta, Canada

Hi Sue, Brilliant! Many thanks for the search for John Hill & his family. Sue Melbourne

Hello folks, My 3d-great grandmother Maria WOODS was born in 1791 in Warrington. Her father was said to be a surgeon, first name unknown. Her mother (possibly named Margaret) was said to have died in Tuam, Ireland, in 1799. It seems that Maria had a stepfather named Sergeant GREENHALL (I suspect that's GREENHALGH), who brought her to Canada circa 1803. The fat of the stepfather implies that Maria's father died and her mother remarried sometime between 1791 and 1799. I have Maria's life in Canada closely documented, but I have been stumped on finding anything substantive about her life or her parents in Warrington. The information above comes from an annotation made in a book of religious essays found by my late great-uncle as he dug around in an ancestral attic in the mid-1970s. Any clues to WOODS or GREENHALL/GREENHALGH during the 1790s in Warrington will be appreciated. Donna Dinberg Ottawa, Ontario, Canada blacknus@rogers.com

I think that I have done all the lookups requested, but thought it better to let everyone know that I have a database of my own which has about 90% of Warrington on it. Its nearly finished but not quite. It is no trouble to lookup by firstname, surname, age, or occupation. Feel free to ask for further information. Please be advised that if it is not on the database then you are out of luck. Cheers Sue kinsella
