Find Ancestors

O.K. - Let's work from the most recent connection to the oldest.

Where do you know for a fact that you connect to the Lords?

Do you have your tree on here - perhaps I could have a look at that?

It is the Lord Family I am researching and the Louisa connection is as a result of pursuing William who was the son of Richard b/1817 in Rochdale and Mary Ann Bennett b/1815 d/1862 Rochdale the married in 1837 Rochdale. What else can I tell you to sort out this mix up
Pete

Can you let me have some info please Pete?

If you need a while to sort it just let me know and I will go off and do something else and come back later!

Dea x

No need yet! - let's establish which Louisa you are connected to first.

Dea x

No cert to help as I am an OAP living on a pension hoping to keep the cost down and try to manage without. But if I Must I will

Pete

Yes, I think I do but firstly I need you to tell me how you got to Louisa Lord - there are 2 and I have followed them both!

We need to establish which one is yours then I can give you all the proof!

Hi
Oh dear where am I now. I acknowledge what Christine has said .This new info has me completely
confused. I look forward to hearing from you again Dea as it would appear you have my problem sorted'

Pete

Hi Pete,

I see you came back while I was typing!

Do you actually have the wedding cert? - If so, can you give me ALL the details from it please?

Dea x

Hi,

Thanks for that Christine - I did not know there was another thread.

Having looked at it I am now CONVINCED that what I have found in my 'little exploration' today is correct.

I hate to say it but I believe that Pete has gone off on the wrong line!

If he has the correct Louisa - she didn't marry Alfred.

If he has the correct marriage - she was not the daughter of William + Maria.

Please don't anyone search at the moment as I believe I have found the majority of the census + Bmd info already - I just need to know which one Pete needs to connect to.

I will wait for him to come back with some more info and then post everything I have found in a logical order.

It is very complicated so I am sure further help from everyone will be needed later.

Hi yet again Dea
It would seem we are both on the same track. In answer to your first question yes William Lord b/ 1838 in Rochdale d/ 1891 in Todmorden Lancashire. married Maria Stott in 1860 she was b/1836 and d/ 1891 in Ormskirk also in Lancashire.' I have William's occupation as a Flannel manufacturer and land owner in 1841 and as a Merchant of woolen goods in 1851.Thanks again for your help and interest

Pete

Pete,

If you check your other thread on Louisa, you should have remembered we had found her in Huddersfield on the census.

Christine

You need to take ages at death with a pinch of salt!! They are only as accurate as the informant's knowledge. I have a lot of death certificates where the age is out by years.

Pete,

Could I just ask you 2 questions please?

Have you been following the Louisa Lord with parents William + Maria?

secondly - do you have Louisa's marriage cert to Alfred? - If so, I take it her father was William but what was his occupation please?

Dea x

I take it you have not got Louisa's birth cert as there was no Louisa Lord registered in 1866.

There were 2 born around that time in Rochdale - one in 1865 and one in 1868.

Donkersley is an unusual name and I think there is a very good chance that the death is correct but the birth could be either one of them.

If you would like me to have a 'little explore' for you - can you give all the details you have and I will see if I can find anything.?

Dea x

P.S. - As for the age thing - have you not realised that many ladies start to deduct a year or two from their actual age when approaching 40 ? (Tee hee).

Dea x

HI again Dea
I am still not convinced, as my Louisa was born in 1866 therefore she would have been 40 in 1906 and not 37 as stated to take this as my Louisa would seem to be taking the path of less resistance what say you ?
Pete

Speedypete - forgive me but you are not very 'speedy' today (or is it me) ??

The death reference given above for Huddersfield is for a 37 year old in 1906 !

This would be close enough to fit.

Hi Dea
Thanks for you input. Please see my replay to Whippet Lady. the more I think about it the more I think it is the same Louisa Notwithstanding the date difference.
Pete

Hi
I had found the Louisa you mentioned but she is not my Louisa as the Louisa I am looking for wold have been aged 71 in 1937 and not 67 as shown for the Louisa you found I realize the two dates are pretty close but i don't think the 4year difference to be likely the Huddersfield would be right however,. what do you think.
Regards
Pete

Hi
Louisa was known to be alive in 1895 when she had her second son Harry.I have searched Ancestry up to what would have been her 100th birthday but without success. I my have missed it but I dont think so.
Many thanks for trying
Pete

Pete - Have you not seen the death details posted above by Whippet Lady?
