Thread: Lost Elijah Kennerley

Looking for Elijah Kennerley and his parents.

Elijah born 1861 in Ashton Cheshire/Lancs boarder. He married Jane Wain in 1885 in Macclesfield Cheshire.



Thanks.

Hi Pauline,

Having checked all sites I have access to, have come up with the following which may or may not help.



1861 Birth

Elijah Kennerley (Transcribed as Elujah) June Qtr (Ashton) 8D 478



1885 Marriage

Elijah Kennerley & Jane Wain Sept Qtr (Macclesfield) 8A 190

at Prestbury St.Peter's.



1861 Cencus

Joseph Kennerley Head 54 (Labourer) Congleton,Cheshire

Ann Kennerley Wife 63 (Formerly Silk Winder) Congleton,Cheshire

Adam Kennerley Son Marr 21 (Steward Over the Hill) Alderley,Cheshire

Susannah D/i/Law Marr 24 (Silk Winder) Macclesfield,Cheshire

Arthur Kennerley Son Unmarr 19 (Spinning Mill Weaver) Alderley,Cheshire



RG09 / 2579 / 109 / 8

Address: Snow Hill, Macclesfield,Cheshire

Its possible that Adam & Susannah are Elijah's parents, a long shot I know, but the nearest I could come up with putting 'Kennerley' and Macclesfield in search tool for cencus.



You may have to resort to getting a copy of Elijah's Birth Certificate to prove one way or another.



Nanna

Hi nanna,



Thank you for your reply. You're probably right, but to be on the safe side I'll just have to order his B/C. Thanks anyway nanna.



What is steward over the hill LOL...I feel like that most days

Hiya Pauline,



I think I've found your Elijah, mistranscribed as Eliza........it does say SON on the census.
