The site is so interesting as I am researching my family roots. Both my parents and grandparents lived in Summerseat, their surnames were Bird and Clegg, they both lived near the church at the Rowlands. I visited Summerseat many times as a child, but after going to Bury Grammar School have spent the last almost 30 years in Cambridge with my family.

Please keep the good work up, it is fascinating.

I have just begun to research my family history. It has been a desire of mine for quite a while. I am the son of James Leroy Ward, and Ruth Ann Ward (Balsinger) both were born in Pennsylvainia. My father has passed away (he would be 70) and his family is reluctant to share much of thier history. My mothers family has kept some pretty good records and I look forward to searching them. I plan to look over your web site in much more detail to look for any clues.

It made my day when I found records of my 2x great-uncle Richard Hargreaves who is listed both in the 1871 and 1881 census. I had got records of my great-grandfather and 2 X great-grandfather (also both listed in your transcriptions) but nothing of Uncle Dick.

Summerseat is indeed a lovely village in a lovely part of the world. Hard for us today to imagine the hundreds of people working hard in the mills and the noise, dirt and grime of their conditions.

Thank you so much for your census transcriptions - they got all my boxes ticked.

For the past year I have been researching John Mills and Rachel Nightingale. I know that John and Rachel were married in England in 1855, immigrated to the US in 1863 and died in 1867 and 1868, leaving an orphaned son. I don't know when or where that child was born or what his name was or who adopted him, but he is my only hope of tracing their posterity. Any ideas?

NOTICE

My name is Jane James and we are researching my partners family tree (Richardson) when we looked in Dave’s  mums document box we found a 1st world war victory medal for Alfred T Ward who was a corporal in the royal artillery. His number is 73768 and he served from 1914 to 1920. 

I have found his medal card at the national archives and hope to get his service record soon.

Both Dave and I would love to find any relatives of Alfred’s so we can reunite them with this very special medal.

Please use the EMAIL button to contact me.

Thank you
