Frances Report 12 Mar 2010 09:25

I have just started on a new family with the minimum of info given but what I have found is

Marriages Dec 1909
WINKLEY Richard Bucklow
8a 305

HARDY Louisa Bucklow
8a 305

From the G.R. single line census I have found
Winkley Richard 1889 Dunham Massey Altrincham, Altrincham

Hardy Louisa 1887 Partington Lymm, Altrincham

These both match the detail on them from 1911 so I would be most grateful to see the full 1891 census for both parties, which will I hope enable me to trace their families back.

Many thanks,
Frances

I am having difficulty finding a marriage for John Hardy and Annie as seen in the 1891 census that Jan kindly found for me. The most likely seems to be

Marriages Sep 1877
Hardy John Stockport
8a 119

Robinson Hannah Stockport
8a 119

I have then found
Births Jun 1861
ROBINSON Hannah Congleton
8a 276

In the 1891 census does Annie say she comes from Congleton please?

In the 91 census Annie says born Partington, John, Carrington, Cheshire, first child James, Warrington, Lancashire, other 3, Partington.

I wonder if this might be John in 1881 even though spelled Hardey?

1881 census
Back Lane, Carrington, Cheshire
Richard Hardey, head, 50, ag lab
Alice, wife, 50
***John, son, unmarried, 23, ag lab
Richard, son, 11
All born Carrington.

Thank you Margaret, sorry for my tardiness but I had a hospital apt to keep!

The 1881 was eluding me but I hadn't reached the point of trying other spellings.
I am still having a problem finding a birth in FreeBMD for the first child Alice Hannah. Was she also born Warrington, like James or did they start somewhere entirely different? Is Alice Hannah shown as a daughter in 1891. If the 1882 marriage is the correct one then Alice Hannah could have been registered under her mothers maiden name.......

I will now try and match Ann Yates with Partington....
