The angle I'm approaching now is looking for an unmarried Ms Nolan with a son, either Manchester or Salford. We know that she came back to Rochdale for my grandfather when he was 12 and took him back to Manchester/Salford, so he could bring money in for her.. My grandfather said he had a brother (half). So she must have given birth to a second son between my grandfathers birth Oct 1906 and Oct 1918, when he went back with her. So I'm clutching at straws as she never registered my grandfathers birth, but have found these two male births (between 1906 and 1918):


Sept 1914: Nolan Frederick K Manchester 8d 481
June 1914 Nolan Stanley Salford 8d 282

I can't see any more... but will start with these.

Thankyou for that Kate, but I'm unsure where Ms Nolan would be living pre 1905/6 when my granddad was born.
I'm trying to work on post 1906 - 1918 when we know she was living in Manchester/Salford areas.

Looking at the Manchip family, I see that on the other site you said the DNA test showed he could be a descendant of James Orchard Manchip (1846-1915). James Orchard Manchip jr (the one baptised 1878) was in the Royal Engineers, first as a Sapper and then promoted to Lance Corporal in 1905 and Corporal in 1908. So not quite an army officer, but an NCO. His records show he was serving at "home" (i.e. in the UK) between 1903 and 1907. He got married in Scotland in 1909. I haven't looked at the rest of the family yet though.

So he could have been in Manchester in late 1905/early 1906! Thanks for that!
Its the Nolan side of the story I'm interested in, as that is the name my grandfather passed down.

Stanley seems to have died as a baby:


Deaths Mar 1915
Nolan Stanley 0 Salford 8d 201


I couldn't see a good match for Frederick in 1939 or death/marriage indexes.
