Find Ancestors

Hi Everyone, I am looking for the address of my gg grandfather John Darlington born 1856 died 1908 address I have for him in 1891 was 53 Peasley Cross Lane Sutton. He was married to Alice Mee who was also born in 1856 they had four children Hannah, william, Henry, Mary. any information would greatly appreciated. Margaret

Hi Steve , He was born in Sutton , St Helens margaret

Iam sorry Steve I haven't, He was married in March 1876 at Prescot , if that is any help to you. His wife was born in Newton and lived in St Helens

Margaret I'm possibly missing something here BUT if he was born in 1856 and you don't know his parents names, why do you need an 1851 look up??? Lou

Hi lou, I would like to know where he lived, in his early years, like most of us on this site, my realitives have passed away, so i have no one to ask, and with kind people here , offer their help i thought I would ask. Margaret

Margaret I understand that and I'm more than willing to look for you. I'm just not sure what I'm supposed to be looking for when he wasn't born in 1851 and we have no parents names to look for. What is the father's name and the address from the marriage cert? Lou

Hi Lou, I'm sorry I didn't realise that , you can tell I am new to this, I have only been a member since February, in 81 he was at 8 Manor St and worked with glass so it will really be 71 I should have asked for, I live in Scotland my father was born in St Helens , it is his side I am trying to find out about, the records office I think is in Southport, I guess his birth certificate would have that information on it, do you know if i can send for it on line somewhere? Margaret

Hi Margaret You can order his birth cert online from www.gro.gov.uk. Depending on when his parents married, you may find one or both of them at the addie on the cert in 1851. If not, it would be a good starting point for the 1861. It might also be worth putting a new thread up asking for an 1871 look up on the 8 Manor Street address, you might be lucky and find him there although if he got married in between, possibly not! Or whether someone can find anyone with that name the right age and give his occupation as a clue! Hope that helps! Lou

thankyou for your help and time. Margaret

Hi Margaret The only one I can see in 71 of the right age is this one. Name Age in 1871 Birthplace Relationship Civil Parish County/Island View Image Save This Benjamin Darlington 65 Hellinwood, Lancashire, England Head Manchester Lancashire Jane Darlington 25 Hulme, Lancashire, England Daughter Manchester Lancashire John Lever Darlington 14 Manchester, Lancashire, England Son Manchester Lancashire Joseph R Darlington 31 Hulme, Lancashire, England Son Manchester Lancashire Mary Darlington 27 Hulme, Lancashire, England Daughter Manchester Lancashire Sorry I can't be of more help Sarah

There is this one for 1871 census ... born Liverpool Joseph Darlington 39 Edstaston, Shropshire, England Head Edstaston Shropshire Eliza Darlington 46 NK, Montgomeryshire, Wales Wife Edstaston Shropshire John Darlington 14 Liverpool, Lancashire, England Son Edstaston Shropshire Martha Darlington 13 Loppington, Shropshire, England Daughter Edstaston Shropshire Mary A Darlington 9 Loppington, Shropshire, England Daughter Edstaston Shropshire Joseph Darlington 7 Edstaston, Shropshire, England Son Edstaston Shropshire Alfred Darlington 3 Edstaston, Shropshire, England Son Edstaston Shropshire Civil parish: Edstaston County/Island: Shropshire Country: England Source information: RG10/2792 Registration district: Wem Sub-registration district: Wem ED, institution, or vessel: 3 Folio: 56 Page: 16 (click to see others on page) Household schedule number: 74 Living in Shropshire though ? Elaine :-) NB. Father Joseph was a Farmer of 40 acres. The marriage cert will give you both Fathers names and occupations.

This is the reference for his marriage March Year: 1876 District: Prescot County: Lancashire Volume: 8b Page: 851 Darlington, John MEE, Alice Knowing this you can order his marriage certificate from the site that Lou told you about. the certificate will have both his and her fathers names and occupations on it so that will help you to go backwards with your search. Certificates cost £7. As we can't find him on the 1871 census, this might be your only solution. Linda.

Oh my gosh...so many names. Elaine, Linda and Sarah thanks so much for the help. That should keep me busy for a wee while. I will send for the marriage certificates as soon as I can. I will let you know how I get on. thanks again.

Hi Margaret When you have the certificates, post the information and I'll check the 1851 and 1861 discs for you Lou

Hi Lou, I will , I can't believe how helpful everyone has been, many thanks to you all for your help. Margaret
