Hello marie Very kind of you to offer. Does Darwen come under that? If so I am looking for a Abraham Mather date of birth 1810 ish married to Betty, possible son David, on the 1851 census he had died. Thankyou polly

Hi Polly Yes I have Darwen as well. Have you anymore info (address or marriage cert for Abraham)

Hi marie No I have not got a certificate, they married in 1833 at St Marys Blackburn, he was a collier, in 1851 his widow lived at 8 Blacksnape. polly

Hi Marie If possible Henry Haworth 1803 Wife Jane around 1804 and known kids Henry 1825 Mary ann 1827 Nancy 1833 Jane 1830 Darwen area sorry no address as 51 living in Gt Bolton rd/st Blackburn so probably no use to you unless they had left Darwen before 41 but give birth as Darwen for all Susan

Hi Marie Abrahams wife was a Knowles before marriage, she was born Darwen but do not know were Abraham was born

Message for Susan I have found a possible match for Haworth. I don't have a name index so have to go through page by page. Hopefully found the family. Henry Haworth 40 Ag Lab Jane 40 George 20 cotton weaver Henry 14 Nancy 8 Jane 4 All born in County. Found them in Over Darwen address William Street.

Thanks Marie That looks like a good possibility Susan

Message for Polly Do you know Bettys parents names? have found the Mathers in 1841 with lots of Knowles living on same road.

Hi Marie No I do not know Betty's parents names, only that a son David was born abt 1834, I presumed her father may have been David as I found her in 1851 a widow living at Blacksnape along with other Knowles in the same place. Plus quite a few Davids with maybe her brothers. polly

Here are details from 1841 Polly Address Blacksnape, Over Darwen Abraham Mather 25 Betty Mather 25 Alice Mather 1 mth Jeremy Knowles 40 Thomas 24 David 20 John 16 Betty 14 Alice 10 David Knowles 48 Alice 48 John 22 David 20 Nancy 17 Jeremy 8 Susannah 3 mths William Knowles 25 Betty 25 Alice 8 John 6 Thomas 3 (can't read name for next child but age is 3years again) Susan 3 mths Hope this helps

Hi Marie, Thank you for your offer. I hope you can help with my family. I have George WALMSLEY b1830, Goodshaw, Rossendale. His mother was Ann nee Clegg, b1805, Hapton. I believe his father John died before 1841, as Ann remarried William BULCOCK on 20/04/1841 in Colne. George had younger siblings William b1835, Rawtenstall, and Ruth b1836, Cliviger. I also have another family: James CROSSLEY b1810, Oswaldtwistle, wife Priscilla b1813 Oswaldtwistle. Children Preston 1833, Mary 1835 and David 1839, all Oswaldtwistle. Thank you again for your offer of help. I will be out for the rest of the day but will check back in later this afternoon. Regards, Liz x

Will have a look for you Liz but it will have to be this evening. Marie

Thank you so much Marie for finding my Crossleys. any luck withy the Walmsleys yet? Liz x

Hi Liz Just looking now. Have looked at Colne (thinking they might have been there if thats where they got married) but nothing. Some of the pages (don't have name index so have to look through all the pages) are very faint. Do you want me to try another area?

Do you have Cliviger? That is where their youngest daughter was born. Liz

Hi Liz Just had a look at Cliviger, (again some pages are hard to read) didn't find anything. They must be like my family - the aliens have taken them!!!!!!! Sorry didn't find them. marie
