Hello Wendy

Posted on Bracewell/HIggin/Hartley topic about the will. Any luck on the census of 1841 for London Road Manchester.

Eileen

Morning Stanley

Thanks for the info, will check it out. See my posting to Wendy for were I am up to with John Higgin as an Historian hope you can help with the will. The Bracewell's are proving difficult next is the Croshey's with numerous variations in spellings. Oh the joy of geneology.

Hello Wendy I mentioned to watch this space. I now have the will of John Higgin of Roughlee which is the correct one as the names of family members matches with our family history. It was made in 1789 and the will read the 11.07.1798 The only place though that is mentioned are parcels of land in Rou...

Hello Wendy Thanks for the info on John Clayton, he was helpful when I emailed him and simplified the will of James Bollard for me. I also emailed Shirley Butterworth about Joseph Bracewell circa 1746 but she didn't get back to me. Stanley gave me her email and said there was another person named Ju...

Thanks for that Stanley,

You are stuck with me your fault for being so helpful.

You are all really friendly and it's as though I have always been a member.

Eileen

Thank you both for the info. Will try harder to get your name right Nolic there it was easy really. Are you really a viking? I am supposedly Viking on both sides of my parentage! Stanley thanks for the advise I haven't got to that stage yet as I haven't done a one name tree. Almost finished the pate...

Good morning Wendy Thanks for that snippet. There were quite a few Higgin went to Lancaster as a John Higgin was governor of Lancaster prison. Hope Richard wasn't one of his relatives. I will keep that just in case he is one of mine but so far I haven't had a calico manufacturer. Mine were in tallow...

Thanks for that and the joke of course the old ones are the best. At least you spelt it correctly lots have problems with spelling and pronunciation. Don't just think about the novels go for it as I said Freda writing as Sally Redmayne is 87. I am at the moment instead of just putting my geneology p...

I have a couple of friends who have taken a creative writing course. One who self published two books one in 2006 and one in 2011. What's amazing about the lady who writes under the name of Sally Redmayne is she is 87. The books are called Sigh with the Tide and Tides of Destiny and they are about g...

Thank you both, As for the 1841 census on London Road, Manchester all I know is that they lived there at the time of their demise. Richard Higgin 1780 Jane Higgin 1782 Richard Higgin 1822 Joseph Higgin 1820 James Higgin 1813 They were in the tallow industry and when Richard Jnr married in 1848 at Ma...

Like minded people on this site after all they are only the custodians of the information. The information belongs to the public.

Eileen

Thanks for the info all of you, you really are a nice bunch on this site. I would welcome anyone who can tell me what happened to the 1841 census for London Road Manchester. Richard Higgin born at Hollin Top in 1780 died at London Road Manchester in 1842 and was buried at St Bart's Colne (found his ...

Well done you. Thought I'd seen the last of my Avatar now my little cat is waving to me again.

Goodmorning Stanley Thanks for the advise I don't know what these archives think they are. This geneology is a definate money winner I have spent hundreds over the years. I haven't posted any of my info on any site, I have shared with people doing the same research and am finding relatives all over ...

Hello Bradders

Just thought I'd let you know we attended the Colne Blues festival some years ago with our friends from Heysham. Steve played there in a band called Section.

Then we had the most amazing fish and chips.

Eileen

Hello everyone I have just ordered a couple of wills from LCC and I have had to sign to say that I won't post on a website or issue copies etc. Surely if it is our relative it belongs to us more than to them. The wills are from 1736 and 1798 it's hardly data protection. I want to put it in my family...

Hello Beejay I have just sent to Lancashire archives in Preston for two wills at £5.00 each. You are right about the Holt's being prolific we have Holt's in our History but they were from Rochdale together with Butterworth and Taylor. In this area I have Bracewell, Hartley, Higgin and Crawshaw and t...

I lost mine too and it won't let me load it again I have tried several times

Eileen

Hello again Wendy

I emailed the Lancashire archives and they said they will send me a copy of John Higgin for £5.00 inclusive of postage etc.

Eileen

Had a quick look but couldn't find any for Lancashire.

Eileen

Anyone used the wills from LDS. I have two I want to view one for a Henry Higgin late of Roughlee 1735-1736 on film numbers 89767 and 89768 and John Higgin of Roughlee in Pendle yeoman 1798 film 89803 and 89804. I thought of getting them from Lancashire archives but can't find them on there. Any hel...

Good morning Stanley

Yes I have read 1 and 2 and found them informative. Will view holly in a new light as it was very useful as well as decorative. I don't know if Hollin farm is the same as Holling Top Farm though

Eileen

The 1881 census is free to view on all sites but if you want to see the original you have to pay. However you are correct all libraries have ancestry library addition with all the censuses. I use the library a lot as you can check to ensure you have the correct one before printing it off. Spent lots...

Think I am getting into this site now. I am reading the Kings Speech quite enlightening about the diaries of Lionel Logue who was the speech guy who retrained the oration of King George.

I too enjoy a good book and find a good novel really relaxing.
