Allen Holt was my 4 times great grandfather and I've been trying to find out who his parents were for ages.I've been meaning to obtain Allen's marriage certificate but never got around to it. I felt sure his father was called Samson,as Allen gave one of his children that name (my 3 times great grandfather)so it looks as if I was right. I knew Allen died in 1875,but had no idea he was buried in Prestbury.I thought he may have been buried as a pauper as he sadly went into Macclesfield Workhhouse in 1861 and then into Chester Mental Hospital in 1871.It's nice to know he is buried with his parents.Where abouts is the grave located in Prestbury Churchyard? I live near Manchester so it's not far for me to drive down to Prestbury to visit the grave. I think we have been in contact before on Genes Reunited not so long ago.I think you messaged me about my 3 times great grandfather Samson.It's good to finally know we are connected. Thanks again for messaging me.I'll give you access to my tree on Genes Reunited (if I haven't already) and if you would like to know any further about my branch of the family,message me on here or GR and we could maybe swap email addresses. Kind Regards Susan Ollerenshaw Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
