*Course you don't have it, it's an 1871 look-up request. I'm half asleep lol.

So now we know John died before 1871, there were 3 John Handford's deaths registered in Macclesfield between 1863-71.



1. died 1865 - no estimated birth year.

2. died 1866 - born c. 1825

3. died 1867 - born c. 1806

1861, a possible.

Think I've found him in 1871, so can't be this one. I'm tired now Pauline and must go hit the pillow. I'll further search tomorrow.

Do you have this Pauline?

Oh heck slizzy I do appologise for a belated thankyou for the look ups It's not like me to forget. So a big thankyou. I looked on the Cheshire BMD website for a likely death for John which gave his age as 56 in 1865 = birth 1809.



I just thought I'd treat myself today and spend £6.95 on credits for the 1911 census one of my ancestors worked as a labourer for the Cheshire County Council. All spent now

Hi Pauline, I too forgot about the thread ...........sorry I said I'd do further searches . Going to bed now but will look tomorrow night. Catch you later.



Credits are eaten up fast on the 1911 website I've spent a fortune on noseying at my grandparents/ggrandparents houses.........wondering how many rooms they had.

OK slizzy. See ya tomorrow. Goodnight sleep well

These seem to be the only two possibles Pauline.
