Hello Lisa, I had a look at the 1881 and 1891 census for Margaret WOOD born 1875 +/- a few years born Warrington and got nothing. Percy G WOOD married May WARBURTON 1899 St. Edmunds, Whalley Range, Manchester It looks from the 1891 that Margaret "WOOD" was not a WOOD but may have been May's step sister: 1891 Appleton, Cheshire H M.A. WARBURTON w 46 Lancaster D May " u 15 Warrington * D Georgina " 8 Scholar Warrington S Robert GARNETT u 21 Architect Warrington D Annie " u 18 " D Maggie " u 16 Scholar Warrington * Nephew Ernest HEYES 14 Scholar Liverpool Regards, Laura V. ----- Original Message -----< SNIP> > Also, I have no idea who this visitor Margaret WOOD could be on the 1901 > Census entry for Percy Gregory WOOD.

Seems that I have been mistaken about the middle name of Percy WOOD...it's GOOSTRY, not Gregory (I believe my mistake stems from the 1891 Census entry for him). I found the marriage entry for him on the GRO Index: Name: Percy Goostry Wood Year of Registration: 1899 Quarter of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar District: Chorlton County: Lancashire Volume: 8c Page: 942 Spouse: May Warburton Just thought I would pass along this note to go with my earlier message to the list. Lisa

Thank you so much, Laura. I now know that only one of six adult children born to James and Margaret (nee GOOSTRY) WOOD were married by 1901. I believe Percy may have ultimately been the only one to marry because when his sibling Frederick G. R. WOOD died in 1945, F.G.R. had no heirs at all. Best as I can determine, a portion of his money went to the family of his father's brother...father was James WOOD and his father's brother was Henry WOOD. I know this because some of that money actually trickled down to my Grandma and her siblings. My Grandma was Henry WOOD's granddaughter. I only have the first two pages of the estate's monetary settlement so I can't say for certain...they're the pages pertaining to my Grandma and her siblings. I wish I knew how to get a copy of the rest of those pages. Anyone on this list have an idea? Now that would really fill in the family tree for me! It must have taken quite a while to track down all of the family members for distributio! n of th e estate's funds because F.G.R. WOOD died 4Q1945 in Newton le Willows, and my Grandma received her money in 1948-1949. Also, I have no idea who this visitor Margaret WOOD could be on the 1901 Census entry for Percy Gregory WOOD. She's not in my database at all. But I would suppose she's a relative. Anyone on the list who can help me with one more look-up? Maybe looking for this Margaret WOOD, b. abt. 1874 in Warrington, on the 1891 Census? To the best of my knowledge, she's not a child of James or Henry WOOD mentioned above. Thanks again for all of your efforts!

Hi Maureen-- I think we are both stuck at the same time period / generation in our respective WOOD families. Your Elizabeth WOOD is likely the same approximate age as my Henry WOOD (Sr.), who is my gr-gr-gr grandfather. Henry was born abt. 1802, exact birthplace unknown. Per St. Elphin's memorial inscriptions, grave no. E 773 there is recorded: In Memory of Henry Wood who died 23rd Aug 1849 aged 46 years and Ann his wife (no date given) Both Henry and Ann are in the one grave. Henry married Ann SUTTON on 31 Dec. 1835 at Farnsworth Near Prescot, co. Lancashire. The witnesses were James & Elizabeth SUTTON, who I believe are Ann's brother and sister-in-law. Warrington directories from 1838 to 1848 show that Henry WOOD was an earthenware dealer at 10 Market Place, who also ran a day school first in his Market Gate establishment, and later on nearby King Street. This would have been one of the many small private schools which, at this time, competed with the official church run schools. No records survive of these private schools. Henry and Ann WOOD had three children, Henry b. 1837 (my gr-gr grandfather), James b. 1839, and Samuel b. 1842. I have good information regarding the families of Henry (Jr.) and James, but I have not located anything regarding Samuel after his entry as a child on the 1851 Census. I am at a loss as to where I can turn next to look for information regarding Henry's siblings or parents. I have a copy of the Admon document for Henry, and it is signed by his wife Ann WOOD, as well as the men I believe are Ann's brothers, James and Thomas SUTTON. The informant of Henry's death was Mary SUTTON, and I do not know if this Mary is Ann's sister or sister-in-law. If you ever come across information regarding your Elizabeth prior to her marriage, please do pass it on and I'll be sure to do the same.

Wow! Thank you, Laura. Any chance you have the time to check for their one adult child not living in the house? The missing son is Percy Gregory WOOD, b. 1871 in Warrington. I'm sure he didn't stray far from home. Thank you again!

William and Elizabeth lived in Warrington and were Publicans at the "Millstone" which was I think in Buttermarket Street.

Hello Wendy I have a very slight link to a Hunt family who lived in the Lythgoes Lane area of Warrington. Will send you details later. Regards Brenda

I'm trying to piece together my father's adoptive family. He was known as (but not necessarily born as) William Frederick Hunt (always called Fred) and his birth date was believed to be 28/09/1907. I cannot trace any birth reference in this name. It appears he was named after his adoptive grandfather. His adoptive parents were Percy Hunt and Florrie Smythe married at St Peters Warrington 28/06/1902. As far as I'm aware they had no other children. >From the 1881/91/1901 Census details the Hunts appear to be from the Lythgoes Lane area. Does anyone have any other details of the Hunts or Smythes? Wendy

Dear listers, Could some kind soul please look up my WOOD family on the 1901 Census? I am looking for James and Margaret WOOD, residing 46 Sankey St., Warrington. James, b. 1839 in Warrington, is a printer and stationer, and his wife Margaret (nee GOOSTRY) b. abt. 1835 in Hanley, Co. Staffordshire. I am most interested to see which of their six surviving children are still residing at home, even though all are adults. Thank you in advance for your very valuable assistance. Sincerely, Lisa Hopp Seattle, WA

Hi, I have Mona Ellen ARCHER born 1908 in Warrington who wed Michael (?) FAULKNER. They had one son that I am aware of. Michael was an Insurance Salemsman according to my Mum. Also, for many years my Dad worked for the firm Winstanley's in warrington, he was a motor mechanic and I still have the ref they wrote him when he left to join up for WWII. Just thought it worth sharing.

Can anyone help me with a Titchard / Tomkins connection?? Sue Kinsella

Ancestry - Thomas ENNIS / Catherine HARRISON of 'Derreskit', Killeshandra, Cavan, Ireland - 1800s. ` Son Morton and daughter Jane[ LANGFORD] moved to Lancashire [Chorlton and Warrington] around 1850/1860s and married there. Daughters married into families of McCORMACK, JONES and HART. Maria MAXWELL [nee ENNIS] m. Killeshandra, moved to Warrington 1850/60s. Mother Catherine ENNIS moved to Warrington - died 1874. Is there anyone out there with an interest in any of these LANCASHIRE families? Beverley JEFFERY Christchurch N.Z.

Thank You for your reply. In answer to your question, I'm really not sure. My George was a filecutter. I have him in the 1841 census in Warrington. He is in Haydock Street, with his wife Mary and 3 children Thomas, George and Fanny. According to the 1851 census they are all born Warrington, except for Mary who has married into the family and is from Appleton. Baptismal records and burial records in the 1750's show only a few Boardmans and they are all from Burtonwood.
