Parents of Alice Lomax?

ProfilePosted byOptionsPost Date

Phillip Report 28 Mar 2020 17:44

Hi.

I have Alice Walch marrying Josiah Barrow on 17 Dec 1802 in Bolton.

Alice Lomax had married William Walch on 18 Sept 1799 in Bolton but he died in 1800.

I am looking for her parents. I think I have her birth/baptism 10 Aug 1783 athough I have doubts over this and certainly can't give any evidence for it.

Hoping fir some help please.

Phil

Thank you

Again, I don't know her death details. Made to believe it was pre-registration. Last child was born 1825.

Have found an Alice Lomax buried 10 May 1829 in Little Lever... you never know. Prety sure she didn't remarry as I can find nothingg in the censuses.

Thank you safc. Certainly a possibility. I had that (son) Joseph born/bapt. 20 Aug 1820 and marrying Eliza Gaskell on 21 Jan 1845 with witness Samuel (another brother I had hoped).

No mention of a father on the marriage certificate.

Which of the people you name is your proven ancestor?

And what relevance does the burial of Alice Lomax have to the woman you’re asking about?

Phillip

Phillip Report 28 Mar 2020 22:48

Sorry. I was wondering if she may have been buried in her maiden name.

My proven ancestor is Joseph Barrow. Father of Ralph born 1811 Bolton, father of Joseph born Bangalore 1848, father of Arthur born 1875 in St Helier..

ErikaH

ErikaH Report 28 Mar 2020 23:15

So, Ralph’s parents were Joseph and Alice, as per an lds film

He may have had a sister Sarah. Based on records on lanopc

Also, brothers Robert and Benjamin

I'm away from the record of the family but yes I recognise those. Sure there was a Joseph as well and not surprisingly an Alice.

the 1783 bapt would tie with the marriages but some disparity with the census
