    Default Wonder where to go next ?

    I am searching for my mother's family - 'Belton'. I have had success in 1901, 1891 and 1881 for William Belton(Balton?) and Susannah - william born 1842 manchester. I have searched some through ancestry.co.uk births and marriages records with little success as i know these are Manchester born and not from other areas of the UK. Wonder if anyone can give me any hints for pre 1881.

    Many thanks

    Maria

    Hi Mariam,



    I looked at the 1881 census record for the family and saw William listed as an engineer, aged 39, Susannah aged 31 and Lucy aged 13. All born Manchester and living in Ardwick. I found this census return and wonder what you think, could the enumerator have made a mistake with the surname, as all other details match.



    1871 Ardwick



    George Ball/28/lodger

    Emily Burns/9 months/dau

    Lucy Burns/3/dau

    Susannah Burns/21/wife

    William Burns/29/head/Engineer to Calico Printer



    All born Manchester......Could be coincidence, but as everything except surname matches, it's worth considering.

    Hello again, How about this?



    1861 Hulme Manchester



    Mary Bolton/60/wife/born Ireland

    Peter Bolton/ 65/head/Calico Printer/born Ireland

    William Bolton/19/son/Engraver/Manchester

    Emma Price/17/General Servant



    Looking at the original it does possibly read BELTON



    OR........



    1861 Ardwick St. Silas Manchester






    Mary Burns/38/head/widow

    Thomas Burns/ 7/son

    William Burns/18/son

    Thank you so much for this - its a great help. Thought I had sent this reply yesterday - just getting used to the board. My mother is very impressed - being the Belton connection !
