Chris :)

yes it is my Harry

Thanks for that information.

I didn't know who Albert Edward Married. Do you know who the other genes member is. If I am correct, If I do a search on Genes that should bring them up.


One of my cousins has just got in touch with me and has given me a copy of his tree. there are a few differences as you would expect so I am going through my tree generation by generation with him and then between us hopefully we can correct any error.

At the moment we are looking at William Chorley's and Mary Ann Haywards family. Harry being their son. Any information I have been given on here has been really useful. Its amazing just how much I didn't know about this family.

Thanks for your help Chris

He is on there as Thomas but his name is Tom.

I haven't been able to find him anywhere since. Today I found that Tom in Bradford about the right age so thought I would see if it was him. But it looks as if I a wrong given that 1881 census you have given me.

Oh Well I will just have to keep on looking for him.

I know two of his brothers moved to Birmingham so perhaps he went there with them.

All the best

jane
