Find Ancestors

Hi there I was wondering wether you could help me.Im searching for a Rose Ann Webster whose birth was around 1897.
Apparantly she married a Charles Farndell/Farndale in Stockport but not sure as im findinfg it hard to search for both of them in the Stockport area but I do know that they married in Stockport if its the correct one that I found its just that I cant find them in the censu's with either the parents but I was told by an Auntie that rose came from Eccles but Im not convinced there is one in Salford around that date.Any help would be extremely appreciated.
Kind Regards

Have you a birth cert. for Rose?

Hi Lindsey
I only have a marriage certificate for her and she married a charles farndale our name is farndell now but my dad did say there was a name change somewhere it states on the wedding certificate that charles farndale his father was fandell fandells and rose webster her dad was charles webster but when i search them there is none in stockport

Gillian - I think your going to have to put you hand in your pocket and buy that marriage certificate, no-one can answer your question unless you know who her father was. It may be wrong of course but all of us have had to do this at times and take a chance - its possible of course she moved to Stockport, I dont believe its that far away.

I cannot find a birth in Stockport area of a Rose Ann Webster but there are lots of them born in various places including London.

If you do know who her father is then let me know and I may be able to help.

Kind regards
Bernice

Dont forget the church area and electoral areas and registration areas wont all say stockport they cunningly have different names, so dont pin all you searches on one place name.What does it say for the marriage/registry place?
What is her age on the cert?and the date they were wed?

Hi Lindsey
It says on the wedding certificate that I bought of there marraige that it was at ST ELIZABETHS CHURCH REDDISH STOCKPORT I was told by an auntie that she came from eccles or Salford they married in 1915 april may june quarter charles faudels married a webster but on the certificate it says farndale for some mad reason I have searched for rose webster and theres only 1 and that is salford and charles webster I dont have a clue for but I dont understand when it changed to Farndell

Hi Bernice
Her fathers name was Charles Webster

Right now it has an address and their ages, how old was she???????

Hi Lindsey
Rose Webster she was 18 and her husband charles Faudels was 21 and a soldier but it shoud have read farndell/farndale and that was 1915 it says her father was charles webster

Spelling mistakes are common on handwritten certs, it just goes to show how we are led astray.
You will need to order that birth cetificate for Rose to be sure of her parents.I will have a look at 1901 census to see if there's a charles Webster with young Rose in the area.

I have done that and I cant find any census records for a Charles Webster with a daughter rose in it in the Stockport area or Salford area

Hi Lindsey
Thankyou for the help you have given me so far,It has been much appreciated.you're a ***STAR ***

I can only find Rose with mother and a man called stillwell as head, maybe Charles is away at war? Too much guessing only a cert will do. No not a star just a twinkle!

I wonder how many Rose ann Webster births there are in between that time lol
It might bankrupt me I think im searching for a needle in a haystack,
well thankyou for looking for me I found the one you found aswell but im not sure maybe Charles was at war how would I find out as I dont know how to search the war records.
Kind Regards

I give up?????? you got me there!

Hi Gillian - I saw the 1901 with Stephen Halliwell, he shows as married (oh yes - wheres the wife then) and Annie shows as married. I looked at marriages and guess what:-


Marriage

Name: Annie Webster - Stephen Halliwell
Year of Registration: 1913
Quarter of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec
Spouse's Surname: Halliwell
District: Salford
County: Greater Manchester, Lancashire
Volume: 8d
Page: 15

======================================

I dont think Annie was married - it was just a cover I believe and certainly cannot find a Charles Webster marrying an Annie at all.

I looked at earlier census and Annie was aged 17 - with the name Webster and single and working as a servant.

Incidentally Annie came from Stafffordshire.

1901 Living at 24 Gibson Street, Pendleton

Stephen Halliwell (Dye & Print worker) abt 1878 Salford, Lancashire, England Head Pendleton, Lancashire

Annie Webster (Housekeeper) abt 1874 Samallthorme, Staffordshire, England Housekeeper Pendleton, Lancashire

Rose Webster abt 1897 Pendleton, Lancashire, England Housekeepers daughter Pendleton, Lancashire

*****************************************************
I personally believe the marriage in Stockport is right and that Rose Ann was born in Salford.

I would get the Salford born Rose Ann certificate - and also the marriage certificate if you want to prove anything.

Good luck
Bernice

That was my thinking but only the certs will prove it, money well spent whatever.


{my next thinking...........did they have more children!}

HI Bernice
The Marraige certificate didnt say she was born in Salford it was my Auntie who said she came from Eccles Salford way as her age on the wedding certificate in 1915 it stated that she was 18 and charles faudels which should be farndell/farndale 21 and he was a soldier which would make her year of birth as 1897 my husband has found 1 which may be a possible and it says charles webster with a daughter rose e webster in the 1901 census with Amelia as his wife but it states she were born in derbyshire but I dont think this is her
Ihave also found a Charles William Webster
on a IGI FAMILY SEARCH
on the 1st may 1870batch no co73547 1866-1870 source call no 0438181 and his parents were john webster and rose webster so maybe this one could be it its all slighty confusing Thank you to everyone for there help its really appreciated
Kind Regards
