it is only for a limited number of churches in the manchester/Salford area and the images have to be trawled through (browse images on familysearch).

Unfortunately Salford St George is not one of the churches at present

Thank you Allotment. I will have to look into this. I will have to be carefull as I have just got in touch with this branch of my family and I dont want to upset them. They do not have her on their tree.

Thanks for this information

https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1-159376-889288-25?cc=1788853&wc=MMGS-HFF:891174154

Esther's name was actually Esther Ella (certificate and signature) - widow

edit

sorry - this was a different James / Ester marriage to Esther Longworth

Thanks PricklyHolly

It does seem he remarried. The first marriage was to Mary Jane Hope in 1894. She died in 1900.

With yours and Andys Help I think I am getting there.

All the best

Jane

He married Esther A Parker (The Servant) who appears in the 1901 census...

Marriages Sep 1901 (>99%)

That tree also has Francis and Mary arriving in the USA in 1905.........and as they don't appear in the 1911 census, i would say it's correct.

I've just Checked FreeBMD. There is a death for an Elizabeth Halliday aged one in Salford in Dec 1901which would agree with the tree on Ancestry. This means that the top Tree is probably mine.

Thanks Andy

Jane

Oh that would put a spanner in the works then wouldnt it. She couldn't marry Harold if she was dead.

Oh well I will keep looking

Thanks for your help Andy

Jane

A tree on Ancestry has the Elizabeth born to Francis and Mary dying in 1901, but you need to check details for yourself.

Andy

Thanks Andy

I think you are right.

All the best

Jane

James is shown born Salford, Francis in Birkenhead, so unlikely to be immediate family.

I think the marriage cert for Elizabeth in 1923 is your best bet.

Andy

PS

I wonder if Francis (In the lower census) and James in the top census were brothers. I will have to investigate.

All th best

Jane

Thanks Andy for your help. It looks like I will either have to send for he birth cert or marriage cert to confirm who her father was. I think it was proably the second one you found

All the best

Andy

Please can someone find Elizabeth Halliday on the 1901 census for Salford, lancashire. I know very little about this person except that she married Dec 1923 in Salford to Harold S Chorley.

I believe she was born about 1900 in Salford.

Thank you for your help

Jane
