Would be nice to get in touch with some other Eccleston descendants! My grandmother was Emily Eccleston, born 1896. Family came from Small Heath. Her siblings' names are: George (1876), Florence(1883), Sarah(1890) and William (1892).

Hi Janet, I knew a William (Bill) Ecclestone, he was a Foreman builder with Whittalls building company and they did lots of work for Joseph Lucas, Shaftmoor Lane, Hall Green, that is where i know him from.

Thanks for response! The trouble is, I do not know any Ecclestons after the ones I have listed. (The name does not have an E on the end by the way if that makes any difference!)

Hi Janet Mary :) looks like you need a Starter for ten :)

Best to start with the 1901 Census for yor lovely Ancestors,,Good Brummies
Ok,,1901 Census RG13 piece 2385 Folio 137 page 21
They were living at 9 St Davids Place, Bissell Street (off McDonald St, Highgate)
Local Church ,St Davids,, came under St Martins Parish.
Head; George Eccleston age 45 Bricklayer, Wife Ann age 44, Screw Trade
Dau Florence age 18, Screw Trade(with Mom) Son George age 25, Stamper Iron Trade
Dau Sarah age 11, Son William age 9, & your Emily age 4.

This gives you a base to build Upwards from 1901 to present or back if you prefer,
Best regards & Good Luck,, JohnY :cool:
 
Yo again Janet M, :)

Emily Eccleston born/registered B,ham,, Oct/Nov/Dec Quarter 1896
References, Volume 6d page 82,, Certificate available (£7) B,ham Reg Office.

Hello again everyone!
Thanks you all for your replies.
I'm OK (pretty much) with going back with my tree - have sent for a certificate or two, and have had help from some kind people on here also.
I suppose I'm really trying to go forwards, and I don't think that's possible without contacting members of the same family - or am I missing something?
As I say, thanks for replying, I really do appreciate it.
