Edward Hesketh

Emma · Edward Hesketh

Does anyone know anything about an Edward Hesketh born c1800 in North Meols. He married an Alice (born c1806 in Scarisbrick) and they had one daughter (that I know of) Isabella born c1840 in Halsall. Isabella married William Forshaw in 1863, registered in Ormskirk and then when he died she married Thomas Hunter (born c1830 in Rufford) in 1877 - also registered in Ormskirk.

Can anyone help?

Thanks Question

If Isabella (daughter) was born 1840 it's possible that they married after 1837 which means they will be on GRO index or you could try Lancashire BMD

I had a quick look on FreeBMD.

No marriage that fits Edward Hesketh

The only birth near that year for an Isabella Hesketh is Dec quarter 1848 Liverpool

I think you will have to search the GRO indexes to verify the year of Isabella's birth. Or start on the parish records.

Thank you for the info. I have looked for her birth and their marriage already (apart from in the parish records). I just thought that someone might have them in their tree as I have 2 young children Very Happy

and find it difficult to spend much time at the record office! Sad

There is a baptism entry for Isabella Hesketh at Halsall 30 May 1841 but parents are William & Alice.

Thanks Lorrie - I only know his name is Edward from the census. I haven't been able to find any trace of them in BM or D's so it is possible he was William but called himself Edward. He is a bit of a mystery! His wife was Alice and Isabella did put her birthplace down as Halsall on the census's.

I ordered the marriage certificate for Isabella Forshaw (nee Hesketh) and Thomas Hunter in 1877. It states her fathers name as William not Edward. He was a canal boatman. They were married at the Wesleyan Methodist Chapel in Ormskirk. I have been unable to find William on the census's. Does anyone have a William Hesketh born c1800 in North Meols in their tree?
