  • James Brierley

    Can anyone help me to track down the Brierley family, they lived in Mount Street Stalybridge Chesire. Also of Hague street Ashton- u- Lyne in 1910.
    We have certificate for my mother saying her father was Charles Brierley and was employed as a carter. As far as my mother told me her father was James Brierley who was also a carter, born in 1880. James became a Grocer who had a shire horse and cart, near hague steps in Stalybridge. At that time they were then living at 43 Mount Shreet in Stalybridge.
    So the problem we have is who is Charles.We cant find any information about my mother and her family Is there anyone that can help me solve this mystery.

    Hi Combipop and welcome to FTF!

    Do you have your mother's birth certificate AND marriage cert, and if so, is the father's name the same on both? Are the certs absolute originals, copies from the local Register Office, or copies from the GRO? I have seen numerous mistakes on any kind of certificate.

        Coincidently and apropos to absolutely nothing we have an ancestor James Broughton from censuses etc. who's birth we could not find. We eventually found him christened as Charles [James] Broughton.

        Could it not be a similar occurence in that he simply used his middle name?

          Combipop, was your mother born before 1911? If so then maybe we could search for the family on the 1911 census?

            or find a marriage between the mother, and see what the father's name pops up as.

            what's your grandmother's name and maiden name?
