Re: Miriam burgess

thanks for that Barrie I know she marries a James Rowles in 1889 at Barton upon Erwell Lancs. But he turns up on the 1901 census in Walsall married to an Amelia Veness ? They have a son James jnr aged 4 months. so James and Miriam marrage didnt last long i am trying to find out what happend to her

Re: Miriam burgess

Hi Robert.  The marriage for Miriam and James is registered in the Dec Qtr of 1890 in Barton on Irwell, not 1889.   I just want to check that we are after the same girl (so to speak  :))  The girl on the census in 1871 is still single in 1891 (see below) and as a Miriam Burgess married James Rowles in 1890 this can't be her, can it?

Miriam Burgess
Age: 24
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1867
Relation: Daughter
Father's name: Joseph
Mother's name: Mary A
Gender: Female
Where born: Manchester, Lancashire, England

Civil Parish: Stretford
Ecclesiastical parish: St Bride
County/Island: Lancashire
Country: England

Re: Miriam burgess

Robert. There are 12 James Rowles on the 1891 census in Lancashire. Do you have any idea of a DOB so we can narrow it down a bit?

Re: Miriam burgess

Iwonder if the Miriam on the 1891 census is the same one, who has returned home and reverted back to her maiden name?.
 
Re: Miriam burgess

Could well be robert, but we won't give up just yet. I am busy this evening, but will have another go tomorrow.

Re: Miriam burgess

Robert. I've given the census's a good going over, and am getting nowhere. I really think you need to send for the marriage cert for James and Miriam, once we have their fathers names, we will have more of an idea of where we are going. If you do think of anything elsee, post again.

Regards.
Barrie.
