Cannot track my queries to the Manchester list. Are they coming through? Diane Riding Ball

Hi Sheila: Thanks very much for the lookup. At least I know where they weren't. Much appreciated, Regards, Irene

Sheila How far back do your All Saints records go? Dorothy

Hi Irene, Sorry for the delay in getting back to you, but some personal issues cropped up and I just got a chance yesterday to check the parish registers for Newton Heath for your MORETON and WILCOXSON relatives. Sadly, there were no entries in the All Saint's parish registers that matched your people.

Is there a site on the web that describes the boundaries of Bank Top between 1780-1820? Am trying to sort through a common name and have never been to Manchester.

My 7th gt grandmother was Sophia Phipps nee Northwood she married John Phipps in Little Abington Cambs 1774. They named their 8th child Holland Ackers Phipps (b1785) and the 9th James Ackers Phipps (b1787). Holland (b1744) and James (b1740) Ackers were the sons of George Ackers and Ellen Bonney, they appear to have started in the timber trade in Manchester but made their money in weaving. James was of Larkhill, Salford and Holland of Bank House, Manchester. They both moved up in the world, Holland's descendants to Moreton Hall, Astbury, Cheshire and James to Prinknash Park, Upton St Leonards, Glos. In 1831 she litigated in Chancery against James Ackers who was in his minority claiming she was due the rents of some the property left to him by his father (also James)during his minority as she was 'Heir at Law'. This James was not baptised Ackers but COOPS and was the inheritor of James Ackers as long as he took the name of Ackers, this is not to say he was not James' son as he also had a sister baptised Susan Ackers Coops. My problem is this, I need to find out how Sophia became heir at law to James Ackers - I can get no further back with John Phipps and only have the parents of Sophia (William Northwood and Eleanor Street) and her grandfather (William Northwood and Dorothy Billington) The Northwood line is from Derbyshire but the Phipps is anyone's guess. If anyone is also researching the ACKERS family I would be grateful to hear from them. Vicki Atkinson

Thanks, Ann I'm glad that it has happened to other families as well as 'mine' :-) The only other time this has happened to me was a widowed mother and her children staying/living with her father and everyone was recorded as the father's surname. Luckily, though I recognised it as her maiden name and was able to unscrambled what had happened. Only time will tell if the George Banks (heading the household of Harriett Pearce and her children) is related in some way - possibly a brother perhaps.

Yes I have a family Henry BROWN Ann wife children shown below for 1891 census and 1901 census Now this family were definitely BROWN as they are my husbands ancestors:- Even more odd is the fact that Edwin and James are both married and living nearby in 1901 and are also enumerated in their own name of BROWN and we have absolutely no idea where the name WILSON came from at all.

Many thanks to Sarah (off-list) with her suggestion that, for some reason, Charles wasn't around (away?) and George was staying with Harriet and the children. Rather than explain the circumstances to the enumerator, they just said that they were husband and wife and therefore everyone was recorded with George's surname. It's all a guess and I don't suppose that I can prove it either way :-( Hopefully the ordered certificates will shed some light on the situation.

I am descended from the RIDINGS formerly RYDINGS around the Manchester/ Newton Heath/ Failsworth area and COLLINSON in Prestwich. I have noticed that while baptisms in our family have occurred in Newton Heath, the weddings tended to occur in Manchester itself. I go back to John RYDINGS who married Sarah THORPE in Manchester during 1751 but have no idea where John came from except possibly it may have been in one of those outer places. I understand the name is found around Manchester since the 1500s. I also descend from the name of BRADSHAW in the same area and in Salford. shalom Chris Christopher Ridings cnridings@exemail.com.au >> Date: Sat, 19 Apr 2008 11:02:40 -0500 >> From: "Irene Marlborough" >> <imarlb@sbcglobal.net> >> Subject: Re: [ENG-MAN] WHITEHEAD - Failsworth / Newton >> Heath >> To: <eng-manchester@rootsweb.com> >>> >> I have a WHITEHEAD connection that I haven't done >> anything with so far.

Hello everyone, I was wondering if someone might be able to tell me a bit about Moorside School? I have a photograph of my Grandmother in 'class IV E' at 'Moorside' in 1937. She would have been about 12 years of age. They were not wearing uniforms. Would this have been Primary or High School does anyone know? If anyone has any ancestors/relatives who might be in the photo I would be happy to send it to you. If anyone has any photographs of children/classes in this school around this time (1937-1943?) I would really love to see the photographs also (to see if my Grandmother might be in any others). Thank you, Tamara

So where does the name WHITEHEAD link up with your family? Dorothy In a message dated 23/04/2008 08:47:55 GMT Daylight Time, cnridings@exemail.com.au writes: I am descended from the RIDINGS formerly RYDINGS around the Manchester/ Newton Heath/ Failsworth area and COLLINSON in Prestwich.

Hello Mal and Gladys I would be interested to know your WARD connection in Manchester. Our WARDs come mostly from Moston Manchester and we have traced some of them back to the early 1800s there.

Hi Dorothy, No, I don't have any connection to this family, but since I have the resources for Newton Heath and Failsworth parish registers I like to troll the lists to see if I can assist anyone searching in that area.
