Thank you John for your expert search. I've got no excuses, except I went with the online search engines on Ancestry and failed. My current double vision one eye isn't helping, but no excuse. Operation 1st August. As this family is not mine, I'm just trying to help others, as I mentioned earlier, I am not spending dosh on it, just time and the wonderful expertise that these Lists have on board. I am on FMP, but did not obviously not press the right button. If I may also ask, I did look at The British Newspaper Archives this morning before the specialist's visit and although I could see numerous articles about Rev. James Power of Liverpool, Crossens etc., my endeavours to access the articles stated my password was wrong, so I tried three times, then emailed the Company with my dilemma. I have not as yet heard back, but if anyone is reading this and has a subscription to these Newspaper Archives within the time span of 1830-1852 and can see these articles indexed, which were contained on one page, any small link may tell me just where he was around 1827. From the little I could read, he was a well respected Minister in his community and died suddenly.........and of course, I may be chasing geese. But at present, he is of the right name and age and a Clerk. I shall mention the Will to those in N.S.W. and hope it leads to something positive. Again thank you John.......I hope everyone reads your suggestions..... Cheers, Robyn --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus

Robyn The marriage in 1841 is of course on Ancestry - is by Licence so have you tried to get hold of the licence? James and Sarah had four children - so I assume that you have killed the other three off? I found James's will in about 2 minutes of looking. Helps to know where to look. So let me explain the process in the hope that it will help others on how to look. As the death was in 1852 it is before the start of the National Probate service in 1858 so will be in one of the 300+ church courts but which one? Using the maps function of familysearch - http://maps.familysearch.org Entering Ormskirk and looking at Jurisdictions shows that the probate court is "Court of the Bishop of Chester (Episcopal Consistory)" Now a few years ago an online family history company called "British Origins" started a project called the National Wills Index with the aim of creating a master index for all wills prior to 1858. Sadly it no longer exist because it was bought out by Findmypast. Looking on FMP for a will for a James Power who died in 1852 shows one in Lancashire archives. The entry was for a James Power, Clerk, who died on 4 March 1852 in Crossens. The source is listed as " Lancashire Archives Probate Index Archdeaconry of Chester (supra wills 1800-1858)" - so should be listed on Lancat (http://archivecat.lancashire.gov.uk/calmview/) Archive reference - 1242B/26 You can order a copy of the will from Lancashire Archives Hope this helps Regards John Hanson - researching the Halstead/Holstead/Alstead names Researcher, the Halsted Trust, http://www.halstedresearch.org.uk New family history conference in 2018 http://www.secretlives.org.uk -----Original Message----- From: Robyn Clarke [mailto:rsclarke@bigpond.com] Sent: 20 June 2018 00:49 To: lancsgen@rootsweb.com Subject: [LAN] Re: Clerk in Holy Order Thanks Dear John and Ruth, Many thanks for your suggested websites etc. Unfortunately the Rev. James Power remains elusive. The only facts that I can find online relate to his Marriage in 1841 in Liverpool to Sarah Bromfield; their residence at the Parish residence in Crossens, North Meols in 1841-1851 just prior to his Death.

I don't know just what this refers to, but perhaps a residence owned by them in Dublin. None of this however, can confirm that this man is the Father of JOSEPH POWER born about 1827 possibly Lancashire. Please anyone keep a look out for Rev. James Power, Clerk born Ireland about 1805.

Hello everyone. I am new to this list and hoping someone can help me solve a puzzle. My gr-gr-grandfather was a man called JAMES HUNTER. I believe he was born in Manchester around 1842. At some stage, he travelled to Australia (possibly with his brother and other family), and ended up living around Melbourne in Victoria. He was there in the early 1880's. Family anecdotes say he was a clever man - a storekeeper and a talented cook. I am desperate to know anything else about him and of his family back in England. I have no parents names, birth or death dates, and unfortunately he has a reasonably common name. However, he may have some connection to a younger man called Christopher HUNTER who was also in Melbourne circa 1895-1905 and may have been a nephew? If anyone has this man in their family tree or can assist me with any information, I would be most appreciative. Thanks, Beth (in Auckland)

You might find them in the Papist 1767 records. These records are like an early form of census. They give family details such as occupation, length of time they have lived (residence)  in the place the return was recorded in and the ages of  the occupants.

Hi Sue, It appears that Elizabeth Lunt, Dinah Mary and Betty are living in Liverpool at that point in 1770, but have no legal settlement there. They must have claimed Poor relief from the Overseers and because they have no legal settlement - they are being removed back to Ormskirk. Although the record confirms that Elizabeth is the wife of John Lunt - it does not confirm whether or not he is with them. He is not being removed anyway - so maybe he remained in Ormskirk (or maybe he was a Boatman and away sailing at the time his wife and children claimed poor relief.)
