Hi Irene Thanks you so much for that. I had searched the water-damaged sections but had not come up with this one. Maybe because it is quite unclear it had been transcribed differently on the search I used. I will have another look now that you have found it. Funny for an Elizabeth to have a sister called Eliza don't you think? I have been using Cordwell in my searches as well as the two you suggest and I actually have a Cordwell indirect ancestor on another branch of the same family. Many thanks for your interest and your help Joanne -----Original Message----- From: eng-manchester-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:eng-manchester-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Irene Marlborough Sent: Wednesday, 20 February 2013 1:02 AM To: eng-manchester@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [ENG-MAN] Cardwells Hello Joanne: As you can see, I've been enjoying the chase for your CARDWELLs. Have you seen Elizabeth ROBERTS in 1851, still at Nathan's Court? Living with her is an unmarried sister Eliza aged (I think) 40 years. This implies a birth c. 1811. Elizabeth probably gives her age as 38. These are difficult to read being on the water damaged section but the Manchester & Lancs FHS rescue transcription agrees with these details. These 2 undoubtedly belong to your family because of the definite connection with your known ancestors and the link to this address. I wonder if Ellen & Eliza might be the same person. When you are searching you should also consider variants CADWELL and CANDWELL (in case the r has been misread as n).
