Looking for bapt of Thomas Starkie b approx 1827 Hoghton according to census 1861, married Mary Heath. Children: Joseph b.1855 Ellen Ann b. 1859 Selina 1863 Margaret 1866 . Family moved to Blackburn. Can someone help me with the 1851 census for Thomas Starkie whereabouts, he'd be around 27. Spinner,Piecer was his occupation in the 1871 census. Regards Toni

I haven't been adding anything to the list as I've got 4 families from Preston area that I am slowly researching and have hit several brick walls with them in spite of having the surname indexes for all of the Preston censuses. Brick wall #1: John Eccles born about 1831- 1834 in Preston. Father: George. Mother's name is unknown according to John's death certificate. Haven't found his birth certificate yet! There were 7 families with George Eccles as their head living in Preston, England at the time of the 1841 Census of the United Kingdom. Only two of those families have children named John, one of whom appears to be be the correct age. This family was living on Back Leeming Street in Preston at the time of the Census. If this is the correct George Eccles family, John's Mother's name is Mary and he had at least 6 siblings. This George Eccles was working as a weaver at the time of the census. I have not been able to find them in the 1851 or 1861 census of Preston though John shows up with his wife Elizabeth in the 1871 census. Does anyone know how I can find a birth or baptismal certificate for 1831-1834 time frame? Brick Wall #2: John Wareing and Agnes Greenwood were married about 1861. Their oldest son Richard was born in 1862. We think that they were married at St. Mary's in Preston, but those church records have been lost. A third cousin from a branch of the Wareing family still in Preston has been researching this at the records center, but to no avail. If we could find Agnes' father's name, we might be able to link up with Greenwoods from the Baltimore area or track back to find her birth certificate from Longridge about 1841. Any thoughts on finding other records of their marriage? Brick Wall #3: John Wilkinson was born in Larbrech about 1825 according to the 1851 census. He was married in 1847 to Ellen Jackson. The marriage certificate does not list his father's name. The assumption is that the father is deceased. John was living with a tailor learning the trade in the 1841 census rather than with his family so I don't know what his father's or mother's names are. I have looked at the census of Larbrech in 1841 for Wilkinson families but can't glean any information from it. In the records of the 1841 Census of Preston, there is a John and Mathilda Wilkinson family living on Emmett Street (the street listed on his marriage certificate). He is 55 and she is 60 years old. It is not known if they are John Wilkinson's parents. The records of the baptisms for 1825 from Larbreck do not list John. Any thoughts on how to find his birth or baptismal certificate, since this is before the civil registration program began. Another factor with all of these folks is that they belonged to the Catholic church. Sometimes they seem to be more difficult to find! From sunny, but humid and soggy Key West, Florida!

Hi all, Afraid I've been coasting along just reading posts and not contributing. My interests are in the ALLSUP family from Whittle-le-Woods and Preston during all of the 19thC. Some of the men in the family attended Rossell School so if anyone has any info about the school from those times I'd love to hear. The school has an internet site but is still creating its page which, of course, focuses on the present rather than the archives. "The Grange", a large farm in the Freckleton area, was also leased by the family for many years - it appears to be still operating as a farm - anyone know anything about it? Also interested in the PEARSON family from Preston in the early part of that century, gggrandma married into the EVANS family who owned a cotton mill at Chipping c.1840. Cheers and good hunting to all Cassie in cold, but fine and mild Sydney.

Hi Derek, You say he served in WW1 - The PRO at Kew has large numbers of military service records from WW1 indexed in surname order. This often contains a fair bit of information about parents, offspring and addresses. It is freely available on a self service basis. Unfortunately I cannot do any look ups for you as I am unable to get to Kew for a few months owing to work commitments. Kind regards, Jon Eaves EAVES - Preston & The Fylde mainly, but any time anywhere is also of interest.

Hi again everyone, I am still desperate to locate information for my brother in law's father, Llewellyn Williams (aged 82 and now very, very poorly). Llewellyn's father died aged 37 in 1921 at 177 Station Rd ,Bamber Bridge just three weeks before Llewellyn was born. I have the death certificate. Llewellyn's dad was an Abram (Abraham) Williams and is supposed to have been born in Mostyn ,Flintshire Wales but there is no record of him there and the 1891 census does not record him either. His wife Ester Hannah (Liverpool origins) brought up the family on her own in Bamber Bridge, Walton Le Dale and died in Chorley aged 80. The family now live in Kent. Other children were Est(h)er, Ronald Albert (both died young the latter tragically drowned in a washtub), Abraham(known as Arthur), May(went to Canada with husband Alan Lott?) David, Elizabeth(Betty), Ada and finally Llewellyn (second name Culton?) David and Betty were boarded after Abram's death at the Harris Orphanage, Preston. I just wondered whether anyone had come across the family or could advise me how I might track down Abram's children post 1921. In other words what documentation might mention them in Bamber Bridge? I know he served in WW1 but there is no known Service number. Any comments at all - most welcome(urgently). Derek Thom Wolverhampton UK

Good Morning Frank and Mary Coady, Thank you so very much for your message. Whittle is not a common name in Newfoundland so there might be hope that will eventually connect with some of what you have. I suppose I could identify the Whittle's living in the community in relation to a census and then just ask you. I don't know. Unfortunately for me it seems only the men were recorded from what I have seen. (The only names I have are women's.) My father was baptised at St. Bernard's Roman Catholic Church. So the community would have been in reach of that. Newfoundland was the last Province to join Canada only doing so in the 1940's. Before that its inhabitants were considered British. That might be something to consider if one is trying to trace someone who came to North America. It is doubtful Ellis Island would have been involved. Actually Newfoundland is also on the eastern seaboard of North America and is actually closer to England than New York. Planes leaving N.Y., etc. fly over us on their way to England/Europe. Having said that I thought I would share the following with you > >>From "Family Names of the Island of Newfoundland" >By: E.R.

My grandmother was a Whittle. She was from Newfoundland, which is now a Province of Canada. I would think she was born in 1895 or soon after. She had a sister, Clara. That is all I know about the family. I understood from the information I read on the name "Whittle" that Lancashire is perhaps where the Whittles of Newfoundland originated. Information wise I have little I can share right now. But have been reading the postings just in case I see anything about Newfoundland. I would appreciate any information anyone would have. Thank you and all the best in your research.

Hi!! This list has been a bit slow to get off the ground.. maybe everyone posting their interests would help. I am researching all branches of the EAVES family in Lancashire, principally Preston and the Fylde. My principal interest is tracing other descendants of JONATHAN EAVES (1805-1885), who on the 1881 Census is a Pawnbroker at 95 Friargate, Preston. I am descended from his eldest son from his first marriage, and in the course of my research have found that he married (at least!!!) twice more and had families with all three wives. Other surnames in the Preston area that interest me are: BOOTH and HARLING Regards, Jon Eaves, Dorset UK (Just back from Lancashire this evening!!!) No attachments are on this email unless stated in the message. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp

Jon: This is hardly ancient history but if my memory serves me right there were some Eaves living in the Gt. Eccleston area before WW2, I don't know why but farming comes to mind. There were Eaves in the building trade in St. Annes on Sea in the 1950's and I think they are still there. Sorry but my memory is not what it used to be, I think the one that my family dealt with in St. Annes was Harry.
