Hi June,

Yep we have that already i am afraid thats what started all the issues with her not been a Donley but she is Frances sister in law on the 1901 census.

Maureen
PS-I'll share but only if I can have the ones with caramel in them.

Maureen it is confusing hes from Rossendale and Sarah Bacup which is in Rossendale thats where i live lol

June x

Morning Everyone.

Just to confuse more, Whittaker Whittaker would have bee aroud 39 years old when he is showing as husband to Sarah in 1877 and our Sarah would only be 26, oh thats not to badf, forget that a mailed.

It looks like we may be on to something, when it says Bety widow 1881, could that be he just left her, i will try and see if i can find a death for him after 1871.

Simon. xx oh my G.., how many boxes!!

Hi.

I have just found this Whittaker Whittaker maried Elizabeth Lord sept 1870 8c / 530. that will be betty.

Simon.

Hello all.

I think i have it!!!

Elizabeth Lord and Sarah Lord are sisters Eliabeth has a child Eda and when Sarah has Frances Donley, the two will be sister in laws as stated when Frances is 17 1901 and living with Eda Reid nee Whittaker.

But who is Sarah and Whittaker parents to Louise.

And why is Eda living with John and Sarar Donley ne Lord in Manchester in 1881.

Oh boy this is mad!

I will leave it to you as i am new to this!!

Simon.

Sorry i was wrong again on the last p[ost they would be cousins!!

It' driving me mad!!!!

I am even having sleepless nights!!

Simon.

This would appear to be the marriage you found:

Marriages Sep 1870 (>99%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Calderbank Jabez Bury 8c 530
HUNT Elizabeth Jane Bury 8c 530
LORD Elizabeth Bury 8c 530
Whittaker Whittaker Bury 8c 530
....................

Sorry Simon,

According to Lancs Bmd site, which is usually VERY reliable, Whittaker married Elizabeth Jane HUNT !!!

And,

Although I haven't found a marriage yet and I can't look until later (Grannie duties call!!), It would appear that the
Elizabeth on census with daughter Amelia was a TETLOW ??

Birth:
Lancashire Birth indexes for the years: 1867
Surname Forename(s) Sub-District Registers At Mother's Maiden Name Reference

WHITTAKER Amelia Oldham Below Town Oldham mmn....TETLOW OBT/74/270
....................

Haven't had a chance to look at that census image but there are others in the household who could well be Tetlow's ?

Speak later,

Dea x

HANG ON !!!!! ........... I think I have it sorted??

I have just looked again at what I have posted and this means Elizabeth Lord married a 'Calderbank'

I will have to check through my notes but I KNOW I was looking for a 'Calderbank' marriage to connect Sarah...

Dratt.......... - need more time..

Dea x

P.S. - Don't get TOO excited yet - had a quick look and that 'Calderbank' marriage I was looking for just may have been 'Calverley' ??

Keep 'fingers crossed' and I will look properly as soon as I can.

Dea x

Hi,

I have just quizzed my mother, her grandmother was Frances and she told my mum a long time ago that sarah Donley nee Lord had been roumered to have been married before she married John Donley, mum thought the name was Grey an American, now this could be a first or surname, or just all wrong or some of it, i just thought i should let you know.

Simon.x

Hi Dea.

Are you having any look because i seem to have hit a BRICK wall!

Simon x

Good Evening Dea,

Hope you are well and had agood day, my hands are now hurting hanging on!! joke!

Did you manage to get any more info on the trail of Sarah Lord / Rochford / Eda Whittaker.

Have a nice evening regards Simon x.

Hello to All.

This now seems to have gone cold, i hope i have not upset anyone!!

Simon.

Oh gosh no,Simon.!!! I think Dea's still wearing her "grannie hat". I've been cooking and raking leaves. (and June's probably been off plotting a scheme to get all of the chocolates for herself...)

I think we should settle back and wait for Eda's birth cert.

You don't have an "easier" side of the family to do do you? And not the Irish ones!!

Best,
Maureen
