Find Ancestors

After being so well received on my derbyshire threads..I am ashamed to say i have made a complete boo boo on my own tree.

Ann Bamber married Edward Hugh Bennett 30.03.1872..she was 20 years old and edward was 21.They married in the Parish Church at preston lancs.

Both of edwards parents were dead by 1871 (James bennett and mary A Dixon)
I made assumptions about Ann Bamber's parentage that may be faulty.........and would appreciate any help in confirming or denying what I have got.

I noticed that the marriage certificate contained MARY BAMBER as a witness.......(Father is the late James Bamber)

Can anyone pleasde find a marriage for James and Mary ..or a james bamber with a sister mary???

I have IGI and i have Ancestry.com and all the census records............but nothing.

Anyone really interested in helping can PM me and i'll open my tree as it stands.....

Thanks in anticipation..Derbyshire Derek

Hi Julie.no i haven't....I'm hoping that Mary was either the sister or the husband of James..if that fails then i have to look further.....thanks for your idea.

Derek

From 1871 census I would say that Mary was Ann's sister?

Thanks catherine.....that's 1871.....which i have...but gives no hint of her parents. Mary and Ann possible sisters..thanks for that
Derek.

The Jane Watson who is also noted as niece has Bamber as maiden name too, so another possible sister?

This is the 1861 might be them

Hi catherine and Julie...have found Ann daighter of James and mary (1861 Census) but born Salford..........which i quite fancy........BUT

since I have Rebecca Hoole in her parentage..rightly or wrongly..the 1871 entry with her as neice of a lday called Hoole is also quite compelling..

You know that in this game you can't just guess.....any further input would be much appreciated.

So have you dismissed the 1871 census, Ann with sisters Mary and Jane, living with Mary Slater ?

No catherine.I've dismissed nothing..........but I think I made to mistake of accepting Jane Hoole as part of my tree........I'd rather i was able to confirm your idea than rejecting it........at the moment i have rebecca Hoole as part of the jigsaw............I'll Pm you and opne my tree for you to have a looksee...........Derek

But in 1872 Mary is Mary Bamber..not Slater......

didn't read right to the end of your post Derek before I posted the above

This one may prove or disprove what you want
