Looking for Meadowcroft

Hi Jan,

You may be right I appear to have accumulated a few old trees over the years on Ancestry - I have tried to delete them but I can't remember my old passwords :-\ :-\

I live in Cornwall but my sister and I are going to go take a trip up there and see some of the places, I also have the address in Bolton where my Mother was born.

Thx so much for all your help

Marion

There are several Ancestry trees with this family - is one of them yours? At first glance one appears to be percy's grandchild.
In passing, I know the road Charles was living in! I think the same house might be there, they are old terraced dwellings.

Many thx Kay,

I did do a tree seach but nothing stood out, I would be very surprised if none of my 2nd Meadowcroft cousins aren't doing their trees.

Unfortunately my grandfather died in 1929 and none of the family ever discussed the Meadowcroft side – but I won’t give up :-) :-)

Best regards
Marion

Sorry - I should have added that in 1911 Ernest and Amy are listed as having had 4 children and 3 were still alive

Many thx again K,

Ernest was my grandfather and Amy Irene my mother - it's very interesting as I did not know he had a sister Annie unless she is Frances Annie which of course make sense.

Thx again
Marion

Hi Jan,

I've just come back to Genes I have been searching for living Meadowcroft's for about 15yrs when Ifirst started my tree but without success, so I thought I'd give it another try.

Many thank for the 1911 cenus info that is really helpful as I do not have access to that one yet :-) :-)

Best regards
Marion

Hi
I'm looking for anyone who may be related to my grandfather Ernest Lates Meadowcroft from Kidsgrove Staffs, he had 5 brothers - Charles Albert, Thomas Walker, John Walker, Richard Walker, Percy and a sister Francis Annie.

I'm sure I must have cousins out there somewhere :-) :-)

Look forward to hearing from anyone who can help
