Does anyone recognise my Newton Family from Audenshaw?
I am searching for descendants of and information on James Newton, my great great grandfather. He married Betty Hayes in M/C Cathedral in 1830. He was already a widower and his occupation a hatter. In 1851 the family is living in Lumb Lane, Audenshaw but James is again a widower. The children are Sarah (my great grandmother), John, Ellen, Edna and Martha. By 1861 Sarah has married Henry Harding (weaver) and they are living in Droylsden. By 1866 Henry has become a hatter and they moved to Stockport. Nextdoor to the Newtons is another James Newton, wife, Hannah, and children John, Elizabeth, James and William. Having acquired this younger James’s marriage certificate it seems that he is more than likely to be the son of my great great grandfather, James, by his previous marriage. Please get in touch if you have any imformation – ruth.hargreaves1@ntlworld.com message posted 19th August 2004 Looking for information on Percy or Percival Nixon born 1908 or 1909 in Stockport, birth registered
