nb from rome Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 I have been researching Quinn. It seems that in 1861 there were not that many in St Helens. In 1871 there were a page and a half. In 1891 much fewer. In 1901 they had increased again. It just looked a bit odd to me. By the way, why don't we have the 1881 census on here?

Tony J Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Hi Gill, I have quite a few Greenalls descended from James Greenall and Ellen Fairhurst from Ashton! NB from Rome, were your Quinns catholic? Ant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RATTY Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Quinn is an Irish name so that could explain it. The catholic connection I mean. The 1881 census is free on ancestry and familysearch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffin Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Just a warning against falling into the trap of assuming that all Irish emigrants were Catholics, or that all people with a particular surname were. Not all Irish protestants were prosperous, nor all Catholics poor. Always keep an open mind. It was also not unknown for people to change their religious denomination, usually in the hope of advancing themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RATTY Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Griffin I only said could explain,no offence meant. Also they may have changed their stated religion but would they have compromised their contraceptive advice? I was making a veiled reference to the sudden proliferance(is that a word) of Quinns from one year to the next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nb from rome Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 The 1881 census is free on ancestry and familysearch Yes, but can you do that thing where you see all the people of that name in one district/town? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nb from rome Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 I mean that on Connect's censuses if you put in just a surname you get all the people in St Helens of that name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eejayess Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Collins would be the name I was most interested in. Especially if you know anything about Charles born 1870 married to Bridget. I know they had a daughter Mary Ann about 1902, but nothing after that date. This is from 1911 census address Gibraltar Cottages Earlstown Charles Collins age 39 birthplace Runford (most likely misspelt) possibly should be Rainford or Rufford Bridget Collins age 38 birthplace Co.Galway married for 11 years, children born alive 7, 6 still living Martin son age 12 birthplace Prescot Ellen dau age 10 birthplace Parr Mary Ann dau age 8 birthplace Parr James son age 6 birthplace Burtonwood Thomas son age 5 birthplace Earlstown Charles son age 4 months birthplace Earlstown I hope this is of some help to you Sorry only just seen the date of this post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnken1912 Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Hi New on here but am interested in the Lea and Higginsons´ families both of whom lived in the Parr, Sutton and Windle areas of St Helens during the middle to late 19th century (and maybe before and beyond?). My maternal grandfather and grandmother were married at the Holy Trinity Church in St Helens in 1908. John James Lea b 1886 and Alice Higginson b 1890. Any info on these two families would be hugely appreciated. My email address is johnken1912@gmail.com (John) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RATTY Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Hi and welcome by the way Alice's parents were James Higginson b1860 Parr and Alice Higginton? b 1861 married at Holy Trinity Parr Mount 1/2/1880 James parents were Charles Higginson b1833 Ashton le Willows(in Makerfield now) and Ellen ? b1834 Parr. Marriage is missing from records I can access, you need to search the history and archives library, probably for Parr Holy Trinity. There is census info also but too late tonight. Your Alice and John James Lea died in Chester 1954 and 1960 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
