    I have just registered. I have 107 members in my family tree but I am now stuck. It doesnt help when my G Grandads were Jones on my fathers side and Owen on my mothers side. However on my paternal G grandmothers side I have the name Blakemore and on my maternal G Grandmothers side I have the name White. On the White side I have traced back to 1836 Mathew White born in Ireland possibly Dublin married to a Margaret. On the Blakemore side I have John Blakemore born in Basford Derby Derbyshire Nottingham in 1841 but therafter in Crewe Cheshirwe. He must have been married twice,second marriage to Margaret McKeon borm 1853.. Unable to trace first marriage.
    The rest of the Blakemore side all seem to have been born in Nantwich Cheshire. The Jones side are from Baguley Cheshire. On the Owen side my G Grandfather was Owen but I was told that either the name Owen was an adopted name or the family fell out and the family name was changed and should have been Catherall from Cheshire. Has anyone any ideas how I can carry on . There is no one left in my family who knows anything.

    It's probably a bit early to suggest having a large whiskey before you carry on with that one!!!!

    Break the info' down a bit...set it out in some order then decide on which member of the family line you want to search then post for help!

    This might suggest some illegitimacy (not as unusual as you think in the 19th century) or a couple living as married when they weren't/couldn't (often because of an existing spouse) and children being registered in one surname but using another

    do you want to give us a few more details (first names, dates, locations in Cheshire) and we can see what we dig up?

    Hello
    My Grandfather was Stanley Owen born 1897 in Seacombe /Poulton Wirral Chershire and married 26/12/1925 to my Nan Constance Wilhemena White at St Pauls church Seacombe Wirral Cheshire He died in 1954 so I never met him.
    He had a brother called Claude Barrington Owen born on 15/4/1895 who married a Sara Marks Mermelstein from Soho in London. He died in 1971.
    They had a sister Dolly as I knew her, perhaps her name was Dorothy ,who was born in 1899. I believe my G Grandad to be called Charles Owen possibly born in West Derby Liverpool and his wife could have been Annie. That is wher I am a bit confused as my mum who sadly died young in 1976 had cousins Eileen ,Olive and a male who had the surname Catherall. Although I was told my Grandad had changed his s/name by deedpoll his father would not be Charles Owen. Sorry this is quite confusing.Dollys G daughter said that the 3 named above were adopted by the same family. I had never heard of that before.
    Hopr you can throw some light on this.

    Thank you so very much for both your replies. This is very helpful and ties the two names together. My G uncle Claud owned a butchers shop in Poulton Road Seacombe Cheshire before he was gassed in the war. He lived but lost a lung and was confined to his bed on oxygen I wonder if William Catherall the buthers assistant worked for him. Just a thought.
    Claud's middle name was Barrington which seems quite unusual. My mum's middle name was also Barrington. I only found out quite recently it was because she was born on his birthday. I have photos of him as he gave my Mum away when she married.

    Thanks again this is very much appreciated.

    I am not saying that this marriage is one of your families but when a middle name continues through a family like your "Barrington" does if often comes from the maternal side of the family like this one would:-

    his first service record includes a letter from a mrs e catterall enquiring about his wherabouts as she had not heard from him for some time and had heard he was wounded.

    mrs e catterall is also the person at the address ( 17 clarence road, seaforth) given for any service pay to be sent to and she is down as grandmother .

    this would all fit with the earlier census info given.

    it looks like the children were born catterall to annie when unmarried. it would be interesting to see what is put on birth certificates of the three.

    annie is using name owen in 1901 and saying widow. is that for respectability? or is annie owen in 1901 the annie of charles and annie who adopted them and the mother could have been another female catterall????

    Olive, your mother's cousin referred to earlier, is I think the child of William Allen Catherall. There are quite a few other siblings to that marriage, but not an Eileen. William A is himself interesting as he's listed as Elizabeth's son on 1911, despite there being another son William there, but on a previous census he is William Allen, nephew

    I found two Eileens in the north west from different eras (30s and 40s), one in Liverpool, daughter of a William and a different wife and another later one, father Frederick

    Hache it happened more than people like to believe. Some due to the parents being married before and divorce was expensive, although not being divorced didn't stop people going to another parish to marry.

    Thank you. I am going to obtain Stanlry's birth certificate.I dont suppose you can trace who Elizabeths husband was.
    I looked on Ancestry last night and there was someone whos GG Grandad was William Allan Catherrall. He said his mother was Annie who had many children to different fathers using 2 other surnames, Owen and another. I am going to look at that again now especially as he has been shown on censuses as a nephew and son of Elizabeth
    Thanks again . I just wish my Aunt was alive. She was the last in the family but died 2 years ago. She would have loved to have found the answer re the names even though its not complete yet. but I do have 2 cousins who will be interested when I've finished.

    Hello Hache,

    Please only take what you find on ancestry trees as a guide. There are so many errors on there that we all advise to verify the information yourself with the purchase of certs or parish registers before adding the person to your own tree.

    < I looked on Ancestry last night and there was someone whos GG Grandad was William Allan Catherrall. He said his mother was Annie who had many children to different fathers using 2 other surnames, Owen and another. I am going to look at that again now especially as he has been shown on censuses as a nephew and son of Elizabeth >

    William was b 1890 but is not with either Elizabeth Catherall or Annie Catherall/Owen on 1891 which may suggest another

    Possible birth from Cheshire BMD 1890 in the right district for Stalybridge

    Thank you ever so much for this. Before my Aunt died she did say that she did remember a Grandad Formby but didnt have any idea which side of the family it was or his name or if he was related to George Formby. (I doubt this as I looked up the history of Georgr Formby and it was not his birth name). This seems to confirm that there was a Formby in the family. Ill write this up but I dont think it would be her Grandad . Thank you again.The information you have given me is brilliant.

    Thank you for all your info. How would I be able to send you my email address. Although Claude was my G uncle he was like a Grandad as my grandad died when my mum was 15 and Claude gave her away at her wedding. With all the information I have recd I have gone back until 1811.

    Thank you again

    Hi

    We cannot put email addresses on here nor is there a PM messaging system. Most of us are also members of another site which does have a pm system whereby you can send an email address. the site is r**tschat (substitute oo for the **s). . most of us tried to keep the same name or very similar so we would recognise each other. mine is vronlady.

    i htink you need to make three posts before you can make a pm though so the best way is to go into the :

    common room totally off topic section

    and make three quick posts just introducing yourself etc. then you can make a pm.

    vron it has to be on the main board as the common room totally off topic bit does not count postings so use the New members thread and just say hell and stuff to get the three messages in.
