Apparently someone on Trying to Find board in looking for Cunliffes Don't know if any connection?!? :-)

Val, Thanks for helping us all with our curiosity. Scartletina (or however it is spelled) was a problem about that time, a friend has just found a whole chunk of a village he is investigating died from it in about 1855, a time to be thankful for antibiotics! suex

Hi Don't they make it seem so easy, they go to the record centre and lo and behold the information appears no searching from ledgers for them!!!! James :>)

Nudgeing for the curious who found the other thread.

HI Val and all Have sent Val a PM just so she is aware of this posting Here is the name of the relative that was described as 'The black sheep fo the Family' The black sheep of the family turns out to be Sarah's brother Ernest, who shunned the Methodist way to emigrate to Australia in 1910, where he worked as a hustler on billiard tables. It doesn't say his age or birth year, the info was taken from this i site Wendy

what a wonderful idea Heather what was his name and birth details do you know or does anyone?????

Valerie thank you for sharing that with us xxhugxx

I didnt like that programme, I went off Jane - she didnt seem very sincere and if it had been me I wouldnt have been wailing about this poor little kid dying 'probably through starvation' but would have said lets see the death cert then. And it didnt tie in with her great gran being in with that wealthy family, did it. So Val, lets get the cert for the 'black sheep' who went to Aus, I bet he turns out to be a vicar!

nudge

be funny if Jane or someone in her family read this, wonder if they would mind?????

Thank you so much for sharing, Val. I for one, don't think you wasted your money, Debbie

Valerie, thank you for putting us all out of our misery :) Poor mite. So it was Scarlet Fever and not malnutrition? Would have been nice if they'd mentioned it in the programme...

Thanks for getting the certificate Valerie, I was curious as well. Jxx

Thanks Valerie I have watched this space with interest!! Tammy :~)

I must say its nice to know nobody thinks I wasted my money, Name and Surname box Thomas Catlow Cunliffe Sex Male Age 3 Occupation Son of John Cunliffe Machinist Cotton Factory Cause of Death Scarlatina Maligna 3 Days certified Signature Description and residence of informant X The mark of Paul Greenwood present at the death Ormerod street Rawstenstall I am glad I got it as I would have always wondered about him . Also yes Julia got one of the brothers births she said it is the right parents not his sister

Sorry was thinking about my hubby's Irish ancestors!

Cotton famine not potato.....that was Ireland ! Merry

Hi Valerie, Bein equally nosey! Can I please ask, what was in box 5 (occupation)? A child's death cert ususally has the father's (or mother's) name in that box. I was more intrigued as to his parentage, than what he died of :)) Debbie

So all that was a load of rubbish about potato famine! I feel really cross now and I think Val should be due a £7.00 refund of her TV Licence. So did anyone get the birth certs? Thanks Val

well done valerie. Just think, your probably the only person who has thought of him in a long time.
