I am currently waiting for the marriage certificate of James Mawdsley 1869 (my greatgrandfather) and Margeret Bond 1874 which will show the occupation of his father, Thomas. I have found various Thomas's, varying from labourer, through engine driver for the Lancs & Yorks Railway to shopkeeper - all born within a year or so of each other and all in the Ormskirk district. Think that the labourer is the correct one but we shall see.
Thank you for this 'siblings' marriage, Yvonne - Thomas' brother Edward MAWDSLEY (b1835) of course marrying Catherine's sister Margaret ABRAM in Liverpool St Nicholas in 1858.
Incidentally (without wishing to appear at all pedantic) a lady can surely have only one 'nee', being the name she was born with? Would not the ABRAM girls' mother be more properly described as Catherine nee CANTWELL formerly FORMBY?
My Mawdsley family descends from Edward Mawdsley son of Edward Mawdsley and Margaret Abram, born 1865 in Formby.
Information that I have on other children of Edward and Margaret was obtained from a professional researcher giving 12 children in 16 years including two sets of twins!
Can anyone give me idea at which church in Formby these siblings would have been christened so that I can correct dates if needed.
Thanks, Irene

Posted: Sun Sep 06, 2009 2:01 pm Post subject: Edward Mawdsley born 5th May 1865
Edward Mawdsley was baptised at Our Lady of the Sands Southport on the 14th May 1865. The God Parents were Thomas Mawdsley and Mary Elen Pye. Incidently I am am the son of Irene May Mawdsley the Great Grand daughter of Joseph Mawdsley. There was 9 children from the marriage to Maqrgaret Abram , 1 to Margaret Jones and 2 to Agnes. Incidently which of the 5 sons are you related to
OK, the certificates from the GRO that I referred to last week have arrived (delay courtesy of the postal workers' dispute).
On the Birth Certificate of Margaret Ellen Bond, born 06 March 1874 in Formby, her name is given as Maggy Ellen and her mother is Cecily Bond of Formby. The space for Name and Surname of Father, and the space for Occupation of Father are both left blank. The birth was registered on 14 April 1874 by Cecily Bond, Mother and the Registrar was J. Shepherd.
According to and Entry of Marriage, on 06 June 1894, at the Church of Our Lady of Compassion, Formby, in the District of Ormskirk in the County of Lancaster the marriage took place between James Mawdsley, age 24 years, bachelor, general labourer of Liverpool Road, Formby and Margaret Ellen Bond, age 20 years, spinster also of Liverpool Road, Formby.
The father of James Mawdsley is given as Thomas Mawdsley, Railway Platelayer.
The name of Margaret Ellen Bond's father is not given (the space is struck through). The witnesses were Edward Mawdsley and Agnes Bond. The priest was Wilfrid Carr and the Registrar was J. Shepherd.
Margaret Ellen Mawdsley died on 18 September 1900 and on her Death Certificate she is shown as having died at Liverpool Road, Formby, aged 26 years. She is recorded as being the wife of James Mawdsley, General Labourer. The cause of death is certified as Puerperal Fever, 7 days after confinement, by Dr R P Sykes (I think). The death was registered on 18 September 1900 by J Mawdsley, Widower of deceased, living at Liverpool Road, Formby. The Registrar was J Carr.
I believe that Cecily Bond 1858 was the daughter of Thomas Bond abt 1813 of Formby and Mary Taylor abt 1830. I believe that they married in Q2 of 1857. According to the 1861 Census, Mary was born at sea and the 1871 Census appears to indicate that she was born in Africa but was a British Subject.
I have looked through the posts on nmfss for references to Bonds but haven't found any so far. Any help would be appreciated.
I don't think you've got the right marriage for Cecily's parents. Thomas Bond was my 3rd great granduncle, and his wife Mary Taylor my third great grandaunt (in her own right). Both were born and lived in Banks, and are buried at St John's, Crossens.
