Thank you.

I am after this family if possible - in 1881 the family are living at: Charles St, Wolstanton. Stoke on Trent.

Joseph Kirkham, abt 1853, crate maker, - father/head
wife Anne Kirkham nee Shaw.
children:
John Kirkham : 1877
Sarah Kirkham: 1878
Issac Kirkham: 1855
Joseph Kirkham; 1883
Lucy Kirkham: 1886.

I have Lucy as she seems to have gone off on her own but have no idea why, she is never with them, but I am looking for the children and family in 1891 and 1901 if possible please. With street name please.

Also if you have the time and its not to difficult, I am after the mother and father Joseph Kirkham and Anne Kirkham nee Shaw in 1871, 1861, maybe if possible 1851 and 1841.

Stoke on Trent seems to be where they are all born, area's coming up are newcastle, wolstanton.

Any really, I am grateful for any information.

Thank you.

Hi and thank you, I am getting confused now, are these family ? or does she work for them? or just visiting ? as I have no idea who wood is,

The joseph Kirkham when 25 is that the 1861 census?
thanks

Hello Nicola,

After researching a marriage between Sarah Kirkham and Arthur Wood--don't think that's the famly above in 1901.

Joan

Its ok, I thought it was me, as I feel like I am going around in circles with this family, been working on them for nearly 2 years, so glad that is him in 1861, never knew his mother was named that, that is brilliant, thank you ever so much for them, cheers,
feel like its christmas all over again now.
:-)

Nicola,

There are two families in the same area which I think is confusing all of us. We need to take a closer look at the actual date of birth.

View Record

Fanny Kirkham Joseph,
Ann abt 1880 May Bank, Staffordshire, England Daughter Wolstanton, Staffordshire

My Kirkham family is the Lucy one, her sister fanny was born about 1880. Once Lucy leaves home she never returns back home. Lucy's dad is defo named Joseph Kirkham who was a Crate Maker, it says this on her Marriage cert which I got today.
They were living in Newcastle area, which includes wolstanton. May Bank is on the outskirts of Newcastle, so 50/50 there.
Lucy never spoke of any family apart from Fanny she even named a daughter after her, As you can imagine as a child hearing this name I thought it was funny, thats why I remember her being spoken of.
Apart from that and the cert I dont have much else.
If its way to hard then I understand and I shall come back when I have more, I dont mind as you have given me loads to work on and thats fab.
:-)

This family is a hard one, the story gets worse after 1901, ha ha. Thats why its taken me so long to get this far.

But, the good news is, the above are not my family,
I would say the Francis one is, as they shorten that name to fanny, her daughter even though not born fanny, its her middle name I think, goes by the name Fanny, she has a daughter named francis but calls her fanny and Lucy had a daughter named Francis and called her fanny.
So I think its a safe bet the family you fount william and francis are the correct ones, willing to bet money on that one, ha ha.
:-)

Just fount this on the IGI

Christening: 13 JUN 1852 Wolstanton, Stafford, England

yes I have him as a crate maker not gate maker, maybe its a spelling mistake with gate? does it say who the adams are?
Also on the original does it say 25? if his estimated birth is around 1852ish

Think I am confusing myself now, lol.
