Hi Pam, Thank you so much for the information you have sent me. I have been working through my elderly mother's bits and pieces and I believe there could have been another William born earlier and past away, but I don't know how or when. To date I can't find any else to indicate that there could have been another Emily. You have given me so much information to work with and maybe I can link some of it to something in my mother's collection. I will keep looking and maybe I will come across a name or piece of paper which may shed some more light on the mystery. Thanks again for your help - I really appreciate it. Regards Debbie -------Original Message------- From: Pam Hurley Date: 10/08/2011 3:15:13 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [ENG-MAN] WILLIAMS - Dates all over the place Hi Debbie I've located William's birth and christening on the IGI. He was born on 3 May 1876 and christened on 11 June 1876 at St Michaels, Ashton Under Lyne, Lancashire, parents Edward Williams and Hannah. I couldn't find Emily there, unfortunately. Working backwards: 1881 census: 13 Victoria Street, Prestwich, Lancashire Edward Williams, 42 born about 1839, in Manchester, Lancashire, General Labourer Hannah, wife, 38 born about 1843, Overton, Cheshire George H.

Given the big age gap between Edward Percival and William, plus Edward senior's absence in 1871, it looks as though he may have been Away for an extended period - maybe abroad? It's only in 1881 that Edward and Hannah reduce their ages, maybe they needed to be younger to Get jobs, or to travel to Australia? It's certainly mysterious! Maybe Hannah's notes were to help her keep the revised ages straight in her Mind ......

It is quite common To reuse names. If Edward was born 1832 here will not be a birth certificate for him as this Is before civil registration. You would need to find parish records for a Baptism which may or may not give you DOB. If he was born 1839 then he may Not have been registered as that was early days when many were not.

Hi Mary, Not sure where you live but does your local library have acess to Newspapers online - check it out as the 19th Century British Library Newspapers [Gale] it is great. I was able to look up the following paper. The Manchester Examiner Tuesday Oct 19 1847 page 6 under the heading Borough Sessions. There isn't a description of the court proceedings. Only a list of the jury and what type of crimes and how often they occured. The computer says the paper is the The Manchester Times and Gazette Do you hve the information from Ancestry - do you know where they went to jail. Unfortunately no info for you but theremay be other papers with more info. Do the court papers still exist or not.

Dear Christine, Gilly, Antony, Mary Lou and Pauline; I am absolutely thrilled ! Thank you VERY much for your help. Oswalds life is coming together like a puzzle within hours - while my friend searched libraries and enzyklopedias for a month. In the meantime the Ellis Island Records were searched and we found that he went to the States in 1892 (with father, mother and brother) when he was 11. Your information was of great help! Thanks a lot! Hanno

Dear Listers, Just a little addition to my query re Henry Craddock and his trial in Lanashire in Oct.1847. It seems he was using the alias Jones and his accomplace was Elizabeth Jones. So a newspaper report may well be under these names! Best wishes, Mary

Hi Hanno, I cannot give you any information on his literary career but I can give you a few dates. He was born Oct-Dec 1880 in Manchester.

Chorlton Registration district is part of Manchester. In 1881 he is living with his parents and brother John in Ashley, Cheshire, England. You can access this census on the FamilySearch site. I cannot find him in 1891 but he went from Liverpool to New York on the Servia in 1892 arriving 26th Sep. with parents and brother and also Agnes Murray 65 widow. I wonder why she gave her maiden name? In 1900 he is on the U.S. census in San Francisco, California with parents and brother and a Japanese servant. His parents and Oswald returned to London, England on the Mesaba arriving 17 Dec 1902.

Dear Listers, I posted last month but without success. I was hoping that someone might have access to the local papers for Oct 1847. Henry Craddock was supposed to have been sentenced at the Manchester Quarter Sessions., along with a female accomplice for street robbery. This info. I've gleaned from a later report about his activities. I'd very much like details of his crime and who the accomplice was as she seems to have been involved with him in a later crime and I wonder if she may have been his wife. Best wishes, Mary
