Lost Great Aunt

Simon Report 21 Jan 2012 23:14

have an Amy Greenwood in my tree sister of my great grandfather.

She was born in Manchester in 1894.
I found her on the 1901 census.

No one living knew of her existence.

I found a marriage on Lancashire BMD

GREENWOOD Amy BOOTH Arthur 1916 Manchester, Blackley, St. Peter Manchester Lancashire 31/3/94

I would have to get the cert to check the fathers name.

Can anyone see any other information that would indicate this is my Amy's marriage.

I guess she died fairly young before my parents were born,

Hi

Thanks for your input.

Amy's father was Jame Greenwood the Cycle Repair man in 1901 but according to 1891 he was a blacksmith!
He was born in Bilston, Staffs He died in 1914 so could have been a decessed blacksmith then,

Can't find any children for Booth or Sackfield that link to Amy.

In 1891 in Newton/Prestwich he is a blacksmith....

There is death in Prestwich which would match with him being deceased at marriage to Samuel Sackfield (if that is the correct marriage)
