Daniel Pugson, Shaw, Lancashire MFMFF

On the Shaw Greenacres Baptisms - I found Pugson children of Daniel (Weaver etc) and Martha - Ann 1821, Henry 1823, Daniel 1825, Jane 1830, Levi 1832 and Joseph 1834. The ring in was Edwin born 1827 to Daniel and Mary (which I thought could be a mistake) but the confusion was that his occupation was down as a Mason.

So that 1846 death is likely to be your Daniel, isn't it? If you get the death certificate it will give his age at death which should help in looking for his baptism.

I think I stalled at that once before Kate, because there was supposedly another death of Daniel Pugson in Ashton I think in 1848. Daniel Pugson was quite a popular name in the area. I will go and have a look. What do you think about the baptism of Edwin?

[kiterunner]

I can't see a Daniel Pogson or Pugson death in Jan-Mar 1848, and after that Oldham had its own district instead of coming under Ashton.

Considering that "Edward" in 1841 I would think it very likely that Edwin belongs to your family. Did you see the actual register or just a transcription? I can imagine "Weaver" being mistranscribed as "Mason" if it was very badly scrawled.

I only saw the OPC transcription for the Baptisms Kate. Last night I was a bit muddled after a 7 hour drive. In the clear light of day, it makes sense that as Martha had died, an older niece/relation, Mary Stott, was looking after the children. The date of death of Daniel in 1848 was given to a cousin by a researcher, so it could have got muddled.
I need to buy that death cert and also possibly the marriage. I bought the Gray/Dillon marriage in 1838 at Prestwich in Lancaster and it gave me fathers' names and occupations, do you think Daniel's marriage cert in 1820 would give me that?

[kiterunner]

No, sorry, it won't. It will tell you what parishes the bride and groom were living in, whether either of them was a minor (if they owned up to it!) and the names of the witnesses. It's only post-1837 marriage certs that tell you the fathers' details.

NBI 3, Kiterunner.

I can't see a Martha, though.
