Find Ancestors

Louisa must have been the daughter of either John, Samuel, James or Richard, the brothers of Walton. Looks like two generations of the family went to or stayed in America. I am presuming Richard c1791 died before 1851 being only on the 1841 census though am starting to wonder if he spent time in the US too....................

Yes, I'm wondering that as I can't find him on any census, or a death.

However I've found Tennants with a Wakefield/Chorlton connection in your family that I'm following, including ones with the name Clementina. I think you can be fairly sure of that baptism that Annette found.

have found a richard tennant, maybewalton's brother on the 1880 us Census with both him and his wife agnes (and parents) all born in England. The birth year 1815 fits in too. Will look for their marriage. am going off at a tangent too lol but is interesting

Marriages Mar 1842
BOARDMAN Henry Chorlton 20 107
TAYLOR Elizabeth Chorlton 20 107
TENNANT Richard Chorlton 20 107
THOMPSON Agnes Diana Chorlton 20 107 <<<<<<<<<<

I found it earlier & have been looking for them. I wonder when they went to the US? Fits with the 1880 US census.

Also found this:

event type: Baptism
christening date: 15 Oct 1843

must have gone between 1842 and 1854/5 realistically, head buzzing now but tired. Need to carry on tomorrow. Thanks for your help, really appreciated. Mark.

Well done. That's solved that little mystery. I wonder if John died in the US and Louisa was sent back to grandparents.

Not sure but it would seem that at least two generations of Tennant brothers went to the US, now I just need to find out what happened to the rest of them, thanks for your help, has been a fascinating little progression. Do we have any matches? Mark.

Hello Mark,

I have been away for Christmas. I hope you had a good one.

No, we don't have any matches. I became intrigued and lent a hand.
