Fairclough Family
Tweet
I am trying to trace George Fairclough born in 1875 I have found him living with his wife Isabella at 25 Higher st, Whitefield. By 1911 census they have moved. I know they had a daughter called Mary who was born in 1906. Could anyone please help me with this I have run out of ideas where to look.
Thanks
Chris
Hi Jackspar.
Many library Local Studies Departments hold old electoral rolls and Borough Directories.
It might be worth making enquiries with Bury Local Studies: Tel: 0161 253 5871 Tel: 0161 253 7089 (computer bookings) Fax: 0161 253 5857 e-mail: information@bury.gov.uk
Thanks I will have a look into that seems strange why they are not showing up on the 1911 census
There is a tree on A****** that has Mary marrying Christopher Moffat, living relative next. Mary died in Whitefield 28 May 1981 and they were there ib the 1950's as Christoher died 8 Mar 1957

What info do you already have about George? do you know where he was born? or do you have any certs that may help us to find him? perhaps the name was mistranscribed on the 1911 census, could he perhaps have been out of the country or even have died? Sorry where is Whitefield?

Searching for Twizell, Brown & Storey from Northumberland. Kelly & Kinsella from Ireland, Parkinson from Lincolnshire. Mellor from Derbyshire and Jackson from Warwickshire.
Have you checked the free BMD site? not sure if it is your man but there is a George Fairclough In 1898 Mrch qr Bury and there is also an Isabella Lever on the page perhaps you should send for the marriage cert and see if it is the right one.

This looks like his marriage. It could be worth getting to find both father's names. It might be useful if either George and/or Isabella died before the 1911 census, children could be with their g/parents.
