Hi Sandra
Thanks for the welcome.
At the moment I'm waiting for my Great Grandfathers birth certificate, I have his marriage certificate. If I need help once I receive the certificate, do I post it here? Or, which board do I post it on?

I lived in Hyde in the fifties and have many family ties around the area. When I was a child there was an old theatre (derelict even in the fifties) around the area of Lumn Hollow. Does anyone know the history of this place?

Hello TAC,
A friend of mine has sent me a map of Hyde from 1897 showing Lumn Hollow and where the old theatre was. Apparently this was the old Hyde Theatre built before the Theatre Royal was established. You may be able to find out more from Thomas Middleton's book The Annals of Hyde and District.
This book is quite expensive now, but can be downloaded from archive.org Just put Annals of Hyde into the search box.
I am sending you a copy of the map privately.

I am researching my mother's family, mainly her paternal side the HOUGHs. They moved to Ashton from Newcastle under Lyme at the end of the ninteenth century. My grandfather Herbert joined the South Lancashire Regiment in August 1914 but was medically discharge in 1917. He had previously been a miner. In 1920 when my mum was born the family lived in a shop on Turner Lane/Warre Street. They sold the shop to a Frank Hough (no relation) in 1924. Grandad was killed at Williamson Ticket Printers in Cotton Steet, in works accident in May 1926. (I have the Reporter article) Grandma Hough did some cleaning for the owners of Hurst Laundry. She lived in Cranbrook Street and later moved to Katherine St. There were lots of Houghs. Hope someother descendant is out there!

Belated thanks again Woody & belated hello dannykross. My Ouseys did land in Chester and the eldest daughter Alice worked in William Crooks Mill on the Ridley Creek briefly before passing. Her son founded a branch of Ouseys that still lives in Delaware County and northern Delaware. My branch (her brother Joseph) followed the Dobson brother James and John (also from Saddleworth) who became fabulously wealthy supplying the union army with wool blankets while almost singlehandedly populating the Philadephia neighborhood of East Falls. They stuck with that mill for two generations. I recently found that my John Ousey (b abt 1785) was definitively from Ashton-under-Lyne, though whose kid he was remains a mystery to me. Our branch spread to the north and west of Philadelphia as well as the city itself. I'll stop blabbering about American genealogy now ;D

Hello my name is Eileen and this is my first time on this message board although I have received help before from the TL&FH.
I am also researching the Ousey's mine starts with Elizabeth Ousey born 18.01.1829 who married Richard Higgin who had the Alma Candle Factory in Duckinfield (like to know more about this) her parents John Ousey a butcher and Betty Brindle a publican's daughter didn't marry until 08.09.1847 at Manchester Cathedral.
John and Betty died in 1862 and are both burried at St John's the evangelist in Hurst. I think John was born on the 10.02.1793 son of John (also a butcher) & Betty Ousey but haven't been able to locate a marriage for this is there anyone out there who can help me.

Hi everyone, im new to this forum and in fact family research. I'm looking for relatives in the dukinfield area. My mothers family name was Lee and they lived in dukinfield in the late 1800's, early1900's. I believe that two of the streets where they lived were, School Street and Leech street. Perhaps it will jog some memories, hopefully.

I am finishing my third novel which is based on a northern town and I have used Stalybridge as the source. I am looking for evidence of Knotts or Notts living in Heyrod as this will help prove other evidence that this was a Danish settlement. That the name was not based on 'high clearing' but on the name of a Danish leader Herad.
