Thanks, I have that info, it is mainly trying to trace the Berry side back as far as I can. Irish records are murder to find to start with, but as I don't know where the family originated from, its impossible to trace back. Berry is a really common name in Ireland too. James Berry who lived at 329 Darwen Rd had no children, so its not as if there could be a chance of a relative still living there. The two twins, James and John may have gone on to have children of their own, but I dont have any details for them. All I know is that they lived in the Bromley Cross area. Dad has always said Bromley Cross is a lovely area, Im surprised we didn't end up living there too! Thanks again, I think at the moment I am grasping at straws a bit, but you never know, someone may know of the family. Kind regards, Tom.

The surname McCondell is a misprint, it should really be McConnell. I have a copy of the marriage cert, and it says McCondell on there too. But, looking on other family docs I have, and census records, it is definately McConnell. I think She or her husband may of had quite a strong accent, or that the minister who conducted the wedding was a bit deaf, and misheard her! lol. The main query for my post is the Thomas Berry born Ireland. I am just hoping that someone out there knows the family in and around the Bolton area, and if so, they may be able to furnish me with other details on that side of the family. Thomas' Father was named John Berry, as per marriage cert, but I have no other details for him, or his wife. Thanks again though, at least you have been kind enough to read this. Tom.

This is sad news indeed. I have used the Talbot on several occasions and it is an invaluable resource for family historians containing, as it does, material that simply is not held anywhere else. The staff there were also knowledgeable and eager to help with any query. There must, surely, be some plan to move the stock to another accessible archive - Lancashire Records Office and the Harris immediately spring to mind.

See their web site at http://www.liverpool-genealogy.org.uk/ for more information including scheduled meetings. It would be a good idea to edit your subject line and message body to make it clear who you are researching: is it the CARTER surname (always wise to put surnames in all caps) or are you researching the occupation of carter? In any case, please add to your message a little of the information you already have, including full names and event dates. It's likely someone here or on the LancsGen mailing list, to which this board is gatewayed, will be able to help you.

SAD NEWS FROM THE NORTH WEST. The Bishop of Lancaster has decided that the Talbot Library in Preston, which has been a much-prized repository of Roman Catholic literature and artefacts for more than 20 years, is to close on December 31st. The loss will be greatly felt by many people researching Catholic history and by students from the nearby University of Central Lancashire. It also has a significant collection of Irish material. Because the annual Christmas closure had already been scheduled, the Library will be effectively closed from FRIDAY DECEMBER 13th. Sad news indeed Jim Lancaster (Bury, Lancs.)

Family details I have are as follows: My Grandfather: Thomas Berry, born 1892 in North Bierley, Yorkshire, Married Harriet Bailey, 1938 in Miles Platting, Manchester. Died 1955 in Miles Platting, Manchester, buried in Moston, Manchester. His Parents: Thomas Berry, born 1858 approx, in Ireland. No specific district known. Sarah Jane Berry, nee McConnell, born 1862 in Birkenhead, died in 1916, Astley Bridge, Bolton. His Siblings: John Berry, born 1884 in Salford. I know he had two sons who were twins, named JAMES and JOHN Berry. No details for wife, but they lived in the Sharples and Bromley Cross area of Bolton. My Dad remembers going to visit the family when he was a child. Thomas Berry, born 1888 in Salford, died 1891 in Salford. James Berry, born in 1890 in Dewsbury area of Yorkshire, died in 1957 in Bolton. Last address known was 329 Darwen Road, Bromley Cross, as per probate docs. Married Nellie Leyland in 1919 in Bolton. Married Mary Barnes in 1948 in Bolton. Margaret Berry, born 1896 Low Moor, either Yorkshire or Oldham area. Married Samuel Brown in 1913 in Astley Bridge, Bolton. They had 4 children, Samuel, Margaret Ann, James and Elizabeth Jean. If any of the above strikes a chord with anyone, no matter how small a detail, I would be very interested to hear from you. I have gone as far as I can with this side of the family, especially with the Irish link on my Great Grandfather's family, having no Town or City to look at specifically. Thank You so much for taking the time to read this post, any help would be appreciated. Kind regards, Tom. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

I have clipped William Hulley's column for "Name and address of nearest relative or friend in country whence alien came." Plus, to assist in handwriting recognition, the entries above and below - 3 in total. Can the original poster please confirm this is the correct image? And if anyone else can think what this address might be in the meantime... Knowing how immigration officials have trouble understanding accents, I wonder if it is an attempt at "Bridgwater", when it's pronounced without the "t"...????
