Maureen, Could Windle have been Windle Hall and Middlehurst been Windlehurst? If so the location would be right next to St Helen's cemetery at the northern edge of the twon.

If anyone has any connection to Sergeant J Whelan (201584) South Lancashire regiment who died 28th August 1918 aged 44 & is buried in Ecoust St Mein cemetery France, please contact me as I have a photograph of the war grave which was next to my great uncle's, John Bunt of Widnes/Warrington. Beautifully kept cemetery on the outskirts of a small village, even my 12 year old daughter was touched by the amount of unknown soldier graves. Judith

I would like to hear from anyone with the surname or with ancesters with the surname MOSTON. Tim

I have just discovered that there are (or were) two places called Moston in Cheshire - one near Chester and one near Sandbach I have some information from genuki but would like to find out more about them. Does anyone know anything about them? When were they formed, what happened to them, where did the name come from? Tim

Hello Kristina, >From the Index I have there is a- Thomas BOOND married Mary EDDLESTON on 18 April 1802 by Banns at St Elphin's Warrington. If you send to Cheshire Record Office they will supply a copy for a nominal fee. There was no mention of Thomas BOND or BOOND marrying an Elizabeth, he could have married at Winwick. Kind regards Jean (Lancs)

Hi there, is there anyone there who has the records for St Elphins around 1800-1810 for marriages ? I am looking for Thomas Boond who married Mary Eddleston around 1802 + or - two years then possibly went on and married a woman named Elizabeth before 1809.( I am assuming Mary died!!) I have birth records for two of his children from St Elphins showing different mothers so would like to tie it all up before moving on. Thanks for any help anyone can offer. Kristina

Can anyone find the death of a Peter Cunliffe married to Charlotte Cunliffe (Turton widow, Povey maiden)? There is no record for this household in the 1891 census that I can find.

Jim, Just because a record is not in the IGI is no reason to believe they do not have the church records. You must search the catalog of the LDS Family History Library at FamilySearch. Then rent the appropriate microfilm. Alternately, you might be able to get a researcher to look them up in the Cheshire Record Office http://www.cheshire.gov.uk/Recordoffice/shop/recoffrequestres.htm =============================== Bishop's transcripts for Grappenhall, 1596-1890 Church of England.

Would someone be able to get me a copy of the record of marriage for Thomas Fforster ( spelled as transcribed with two f 's) to Ellen Percivall which was at Grappenhall the 27/12/1752 most likely at St Wilfreds. It is nor recorded on the IGI so it cannot be ordered from LDS. I am in Canada so cannot go myself. A photocopy of the actual document would be ideal. Thanks ahead. Jim

Sandra I am also researching the PLATT family from Warrington (my direct line). But my names are different but I wonder if we can make a connection as I have hit a brick wall. My family is as follows : Thomas Platt b approx 1805 possible death 7 mar 1845 15 garry? St, nl, UK Married : 4 jun 1827, St Nicholas, Liverpool to Anne Barrett/Barrat/Barratt b approx 1811 Ireland children (that I can find so far) John Platt b. 24 apr 1825 Warrington christened 1828 St Pauls Square Thomas Platt b. 1836-39 Toxeth Park, Lancashire christened : 1836 Warrington Benjamin Platt b. 1844, Toxeth Park, Lancashire Possible child as per 1841 census though I can find no other records at this time Joseph Platt b. 1840-41 (he was 7 months old at time of the census) The three above sons that I am positive on all came to Australia and John and Thomas settled in Port Macquarie (I have a fair bit of info on them) and Benjamin stayed in Melbourne and passed away in 1873. I have hit the wall on Thomas (Snr) and his wife, I can find nothing of them in the census after 1841. Benjamin and Thomas Jnr were listed in the 1851 census as being in the West Derby Union Workhouse. Thomas Snr was a Boot and Shoemaker. The death I have is unconfirmed but would make sense to why I can not find him on the 1845 census, but then I can not find his wife either. Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could match our families......

Hi, I have just joined the list in the hope of finding someone with interest in the family of Daniel PLATT. I believe Daniel was born circa 1796, but don't know who he married, as his wife appears to have died before the 1841 census. The info I have is shown below. Descendants of Daniel Platt 1 Daniel Platt b: Abt. 1796 ..... 2 Jane Platt b: Abt. 1822 at Warrington, Lancashire ......... +John Lorraine ..... 2 Daniel Platt b: Abt. 1824 at Warrington, Lancashire ......... +Harriet Green b: Abt. 1829 at Liverpool, Lancashire m: 21 January 1849 at St Nicholas, Liverpool, Lancashire d: Bef. 1861 ..... 2 Margaret Mary Platt b: Abt. 1827 ..... 2 Ann Platt b: Abt. 1831 ......... +Thomas Byrne b: Abt. 1815 at Ireland m: 24 July 1857 at St Peter's Chapel, Liverpool d: Bef. 1891 Descendants of Daniel Platt Generation No. 1 1841 census: Finch Place, Liverpool Platt Daniel 45 Warehouseman Y Platt Daniel 15 Joiner Ap Y Platt Margt.

Hi all, Just a quick line to let you know that the LANCASHIRE LOOK UP EXCHANGE is now up and running. You can access it directly by going to: http://www.lancs-lookup.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/ or by going to: http://aztecrose.tripod.com/LookupExchange.htm and clicking on LANCASHIRE. Thank you to all who have volunteered to help with this project and to those of you that are not able to volunteer, but who have sent messages of support. I am still in need of some more volunteers. To be a volunteer you will need to have access to some Lancashire source ie, trade directories, parish records etc. You can check the site to see the type of thing and also to see what we have covered already. I have plenty of people who are happy to do census look ups and BMDs, but I need the more unusual stuff or those who are happy to go to the records offices. You can be involved as much or as little as you want to be. Offering very general look ups will result in more requests than if you offer to do look ups for one specific parish for example. If you volunteer but then find that it is taking more of your time than you imagined, just drop me a line and we can either amend what requests you will accept, limit the number or take you off the list... nothing is set in stone! Why not volunteer and give it a try! If you would like to volunteer but are concerned about having your email address publicly available, then I have a solution to that too (thanks Lynne!). Just drop me a line off list. I do hope that you find this new site helpful to you in your research. Any comments, criticisms or suggestions are all welcome... off list please. Best Regards, Ailsa Admin - Lancs. Look Up Exchange

Hello List I have just arrived home from Chester Record Office with some good news - at long last the St Paul Parish Registers have been filmed with the exception of a few years in the 1900's. St Barnabus and St Peter have also been filmed. I enquired if Warrington Library will be receiving copies of the films and was told that the films were ready to send to Warrington but the staff could not give me a date when this was to happen. Brenda

Hello List I am going to Chester RO tomorrow - if anyone would like me to look up marriages for St Paul Warrington (specific dates only) please drop me a line as soon as. Regards Brenda
