Hi, I'm trying to locate a cousin of mine whose maiden name was Barbara BUCHARD. Barbara was born about 1942 or 1943 and so would now be about 62 or 63. I know she is married but don't know her married name. Her mother was Florence Maud BASTOCK who married a Jess BUCHARD. He died when Barbara was just a baby and later Maud married a Harry SLATER. They, and Barbara, lived in Preston. After Barbara married, she lived around Lea for a while. I believe Florence Maud BASTOCK was born March 1903 so she is probably now dead. She was a younger sister of my father Alfred James BASTOCK. I know I haven't given you much to go on, and I know it's like looking for a needle in a haystack, but I must try and she is the only link I have with my father's side of the family. Any help greatly appreciated. Lilian (BASTOCK) Bowen Indiana, U.S.A.

Hi Everyone, Would someone do an 1891 Census check for me please. I am looking to see if Mary Ellen Duckett, aged 20/21, daughter of John and Ann Duckett, is still in Preston in 1891. She married Jonathan Fielding, born Blackburn 1869, in USA in 1893 but they both returned to the UK around 1900. I am trying to find when she went to the USA and am trying to narrow down the time. Many thanks - Carol Austin

I have just received a marriage certificate for 20 December 1924 at St Thomas Church between Richard Whitfield age 23 a Slater of 19 Egan Street, Preston and Agnes Mainwaring age 20 a Weaver of 34 Cambridge Street. Witnesses were Grace and William Fowler (Grace was Richard's sister). Richard Whitfield was the step brother of my late Father, I never knew of him until the 1901 Census came out. Agnes Mainwaring is my 'mystery' as she was born circa 1904 she is, of course, not on the 1901 which is a pity. The marriage cert. shows her father to be Harry Mainwaring a Hairdresser. And, I am searching in the dark to find her birth not knowing where she was born. I just wonder if anyone has come across a Mainwaring family in the Preston area with a Hairdresser (maybe Barber) in the family ? In 1926 Richard and Agnes were living at 61 Frank Street where their son Kenneth Edward Whitfield age 5 months died. Richard died age 29 at 72 Havelock Street in 1931. I feel sure there were more children born to Richard and Agnes after their marriage in 1924 and Richard's untimely death in 1931 and would love to find out more on the family. Were there more children, did Agnes remarry ? Any help appreciated. Kind regards, Pauline

Hi Vern, Did you mean you couldn't find them in 1901. I have been unable to find Abel Kirby on the 1901 Census, but I have found a Kirby (No first name) born 1863 England, with a wife Sarah A. Kirby born 1865 England and a daughter Clara B. Kirby born 1886 England. They were living in Pennsylvania. It is probably not them because on the 1891 Census they have not got a Clara with them. I have also looked for the lodger William Jones to see if it gives any clues. I have found the following family in 1901. RG 13/3410 Folio 125 24 Bevington Street, Liverpool William Jones head marr. 38 Dock Labourer Preston Mary Jones wife 37 born Hull Mary Rice Niece 4 born Liverpool Kind regards, Anne in Bolton, Lancashire. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Vern Prescott" <vprescott@sympatico.ca> To: <ENG-LANCS-PRESTON-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, April 09, 2005 6:09 PM Subject: Abel KIRBY > Does anyone have information on Abel KIRBY.
