Hello, I'm new to the Manchester list after discovering ancestors from Salford who arrived in Australia in January 1842. The family shown on the Immigration Record are: George WALKER a Bricklayer 33 Hannah WALKER a Housekeeper 34 William 7 Thomas 5 Joseph 3 I have established from George's Immigration Record that George WALKER was the son of James & Elizabeth WALKER, James also being a bricklayer. I have George's baptism at Cathedral, Manchester on 16 Jan 1808. George's wife Hannah appears in various records as HALLIS, HOLLIS, ALLAS. Her parents are Edward (occupation: Dyer) & Anne ALLAS (as name appears on Hannah's Immigration Record). Hannah's maiden name on her daughter's marriage record (1859) is spelt HOLLIS. Although I have found the apparent baptisms of George & Hannah's 3 children at Cathedral, Manchester (IGI) - William on 5 Oct 1834; and Thomas & Joseph on 8 Nov 1840 - I have yet to find a marriage record for George & Hannah. In the 1841 census the family are enumerated at Challinor(?) Street, Salford. (HO107/585/20 Folio 18) If anyone can help find George & Hannah's marriage it would be much appreciated. Lastly, can someone from Lancashire please tell me how the name HOLLIS would be pronounced locally in Lancashire? Many thanks Chris, Sydney
