Hello Listers, I have an elderly aunt in Preston who went to Bow Lane Record Office to try & trace Henry SMITH, Mary SMITH (wife), Joseph ( or Joseph Bellas ) SMITH, (son), & any other siblings, in the 1841 & 1851 census. My aunt was a bit confused & has sent me a reference 1851 - F - H0107 - 2267. Is anyone able to make sense of this for me????? Henry SMITH was a spinner, or cotton spinner, & the family were described as "of Ribbleton Lane", at Joseph's baptism in 1837. In anticipation! Joan ( from France )

Hello Anne, Thanks very much for your help on Hannah LEEMING & family. Yes, the family you have found could be a possibility ............... This Hannah is the correct age in relation to her marriage. I've just looked for the rest of the family in 1861 but can't find them ......................... maybe this Jane married again or moved away. The original family is still likely as the mother was born Fishwick & I know they were still in Preston after 1881. Anyway, now I've got 2 possibles families instead of 1.

I am trying to find a record of a marriage between Charles Walter ENGLISH of Preston & Elizabeth WILLIAMS of Liverpool. According to all the census data, Charles ENGLISH was born c 1821 in Preston & Elizabeth WILLIAMS was born Liverpool c 1830. I believe Charles was the son of Charles English & Catherine Whalley. Census records would also indicate that the first child born to Charles ENGLISH & Elizabeth WILLIAMS( Elizabeth)was born c 1850 (1861) or c 1856 (1871) in Lambeth and second child, (Charles) was born in Southampton, so I do not know whether the marriage took place in the London area or in Liverpool where Elizabeth was born. I have checked Free BMD as well as Ancestry and could find no marriage. Also found nothing on IGI. Would anyone have any info on this couple. I am assuming from the date of Elizabeth's (the daughter) birth that they married sometime between 1848-1856. Any help GREATLY appreciated!!!!

Hello again Joan, I have not got a surname index for the 1841 Census nor a street index, but I have looked at Salmon Street and could not find them there.

Hello Listers, Joseph Bellas SMITH ( my great grandfather ) was christened August 1837 at St John, Preston, the son of Henry SMITH, Spinner, & Mary, of Ribbleton Lane. Joseph married in Preston in 1860, when he gave his address as 28 NEWTON Street & named his father, Henry, Cotton spinner. I have traced Joseph from 1860 up to his death in 1907 in Preston, BUT I HAVE A BIG GAP! Please is anyone able to find the family in Preston in the 1851 & the 1841 census? ( I have found a Henry Smith who I think may be the father, in 1861 at 1 Green St. in 1871 at 30 NEWTON St. & in 1881 at Horner St., but this Henry was married to Betsy & had children born in Australia, so maybe Mary SMITH had died ?????) Any help appreciated! Joan ( from France )

Hello List, I'm trying to find the family of Hannah LEEMING ( my great grandmother ) who was born Preston 1842, & married in Preston 1860. Her father was John LEEMING , Labourer, at her birth, & Foundryman, deceased, at her marriage. Her mother was Jane LEEMING, formerly MOOR. I have found a Jane LEEMING, widow, born Fishwick about 1807, in the 1861, 1871, & 1881 census, together with sons William, born Preston about 1840, & Thomas, born Preston about 1841. I think there was an older brother, Richard. PLEASE, is anyone able to find the family, including Hannah, in the PRESTON 1851 census, & before she was born in the 1841 census? Thanks in anticipation!

Hello Bob, I have checked the IGI and there is a marriage for William Boardman to Mary Christey on 20.1.1834 at St. Peter's, Bolton. This one is a bit later, probably too late for yours: William Boardman b. 5.2.1813 Walton-le-Dale, Lancashire, died 19.11.1895 Salt Lake City. Married Mary Marshall, b. 10.3.1818 Salwick, Lancashire, died 1.4.1881 Salt Lake City. They were married at St. John's, Preston on 8.10.1838.

Hi List, Following up on my recent request for marriage record information on William BOARDMAN and his bride Mary around the year 1826, some additional relevant information has come to my attention. While that 1826 departure year is from what should be a reliable source, another source indicates that William and Mary Boardman did not leave Lancashire until 1835. Therefore, please also be on the lookout for a Wm. & Mary Boardman marriage(s) between 1826 and 1835. Thank you! Bob in Alabama

My gg-grandfather, William C. BOARDMAN, was born in Lancashire, England, in about 1803. He left the county in 1826 and never returned. And, presumably not long before that departure, he married a bride of about the same age named Mary, whose maiden surname I do not know. Unfortunately, I also have no information on the part of Lancashire from which this couple came. I would greatly appreciate it if persons with access to Lancashire marriage records would assist me in finding information about the likely couple(s) of this marriage. Thank you very much! Bob in Alabama
