Thread: first query - re Humston / Hurmstone or any other combination!!

I have a marriage certificate for John Emery and Mary Ann Humstone (although it is VERY difficult to read due to the handwriting) in 1847 in Eccles



I have a birth cert for their daughter, Mary Emery born 1850 in Pendleton - father john and mother Mary Ann Emery formerly Humstone / Hurmstone



I have tracked Mary Ann Hurmstone / Humston or whoever post marriage and her birth was always in Chester, on the marriage cert her father is Samuel and is a farmer and she resided in Pendleton



I cannot trace Mary ann or Samuel on the 1841 census either in cheshire or Pendleton and I can't find anything on the IGI either of a christening or a marriage of Sam



Has anyone any advice please of where I can start looking??

ancestry has the marriage transcribed as mary ann URMSTON

there appears to be a number of urmstons aroudn the cheshire area

yes i noticed that - i looked under IGI under urmston and urmstone and urnston and urnstone too but i havn't had any look for her or samuel



now my batch number link is on a go slow again

The only Humstone marriage I can find is ..



Samuel Humstone to Ann Harrison, St Oswald's Church Chester, 18/6/1822



This marriage is from the discs I have so it is transcribed from the parish registers.



A submitted entry on the IGI is when a member submits their own information.They cant supply a batch no so you cant check it out on the original films. The info could have come from anywhere. Be aware that some submitted entries are correct but I have found a few that are totally ficticious.

hi light - sorry i didn't see the reply - yes i have spotted that marriage also - i noticed it was a submitted record - not a batch number??



i havn't had any joy with a birth/christening of mary ann humston/ hurmstone / umston or urmston or any other combo i can think of

The Family search site is still a great resource.

yes it is - i am just starting to learn about it properly now - how to use it and how it works etc

Just a quick update - it seems Jon was correct with Samuel and Ann Harrison - thanks Jon



I have been looking on the updated family pilot and have now located a birth of Mary Ann HUMPSTON christened 1825 in St Oswald's Chester. Also a William HUMSTON christened 1823 in the same church - both to parents Samuel Humston(e) and Ann

I have also located a marriage in the same church - Samuel HUMSTONE and Ann Harrison!!



These are from a combination of BT's and the parish records - yehhhh



On to the next brick wall!!!! cos i can't find any of them in 1841
