Find Ancestors

HIi All,have just recieved a birth cert for 1849,Michael Cunnington(should be Connaughton),but the damn address is practically illegible..Ive just been going over Dukinfield in the A to Z,and the nearest i can see is Foundry Street,number 16..If someone would be so kind as to have a look on 1851 Census for that address i would be most grateful..I am hoping to find Patrick(head),Catherine(wife),Micheal(son) and maybe John(son)..Kind regards Ross.

STILL got no disc drive so me can't help, sorrreeeee..... BUT Foundry Street is feasible, been there hundreds of years! Lou

Hi Lou,no worries,so frustrating about the addy,at first glance it looked like eandry st or eaudry st or landry st..Nothing is easy with these Connaughtons lol..Regards Ross

If they DON'T show up at Foundry Street and you want me to have a brainwave about other possibles give me a yell Lou

Hi, I've just checked 1851 Lancs, .... the only Foundry in Ashton under Lyne is a Foundry Brow, Newton Wood. Disc 25. Piece 2236. I haven't checked this as I haven't got time right now. Dukinfield is actually under DuNkinfield !! on the Area Index, Piece number 2237 .... Disc 25. If no one else has checked when I get back home later, I'll have a look. Elaine :-)

Hi Ross Ill attemp to have a look now. New to using discs so bear with me. Julie

hi Ross Sorry im going to have to admit defeat, struggling to navigate round. So Sorry Julie

Elaine & Julie,many thanks for your efforts..Just a quick update..I am sure that the last four letters of street name are NDRY,as for the two or three letters before that i,m not sure but its got to be either Foundry,Landry,Eandry or Sandry..grr very annoying..Thanks again everyone..Regards Ross.

Ross I've just had a look at my old area map. Now the map is from c1865 so no guarantees that the streets on it were all there in 1851 BUT right on the Dukinfield/Stalybridge border is either VAUDRY or VAUNDRY Street, I can't quite make out the tiny writing! Possible???? Lou

Lou Ive just emailed Ross, hes sending me image, im going to have another go for him. Ill keep my eye out for Vaudry. Julie

Julie Any probs give me a yell! Lou

cheers lou your a star

Hi Lou,first letter doesnt look like a V but the other letters fit,so it could be..I,ve just sent Julie the image (i think)my twelve yr old assures me i have lol..Hopeless with computers..Thanks Lou..Ross.

Sorry, I was hoping to be back online before now. I've read the thread ... and have to admit, that I am LOST ! Do any of the above possibles need checking ...??? before I have another drink !!! If so, where do you want me to look please ?? Elaine :-)

There is ONLY Vaudry St, Stalybridge ....I'm going to have a look now ! Elaine :-)

Elaine That would be the one I meant! Lou

Ive looked at the cert, it looks like Vaudry Street to me. Julie

There are NO Connaughton families or anything remotely similar on Vaudry St, Staleybridge ...sorry Were next ? Elaine :-)

Ive been right through Ref 2237/1 No sign of them anywhere. Must of moved. Julie

Elaine,Lou & Julie,thank you for all your efforts,very much appreciated..Dont relly know where to look now..I,ll have to have another look for the birth of John(c1851/52) same area,been looking for weeks,but no luck..The only other address i have for them is Beaumont Square/yard in 1854,but i think you checked that for me some time ago Elaine.Again many thanks,you are wonderful,well done Lou on getting the street name,that is the worst V ive ever seen though lol..Regards,Ross.
