Christopher Eccles (MFFFFF)
Name - "official" name and what they were known as
Christopher Eccles Date and place of birth Unknown - according to the census of 1841 he was 50 years of age, so born between 1787 and 1791. Names of parents unknown - Date and place of baptism - if applicable unknown Details of each of his or her marriages - if any married Martha Ackers, 6 Dec 1827 at Manchester Collegiate Church/Cathedral The link to Martha - http://www.genealogistsforum.co.uk/f...=martha+ackers Children - Eliza (bap 1826) John (bap 1826), William (1828), Elizabeth (1831- census) Christopher (bap 1832), William (1841 - census) The link to son John - http://www.genealogistsforum.co.uk/f...ht=john+eccles Occupation(s) - if any 1841 census - h.l. weaver Addresses where they lived (including county if in UK) - and please list which censuses you have or haven't found him/her on (if s/he lived in census times!). 1841 - Short St Ancoats, Manchester Date, place and cause of death bef 27 Nov 1842, Manchester. Date and place of burial. 27 Nov 1842, Manchester Collegiate Church of Our Lady, St Denys and St George (later Cathedral) 48 years Details of will / administration of their estate - if applicable none known After many searches of the IGI, non-conformist bmd registers and Lancashire online parish clerks, I think Christopher could have been the son of Sarah Eccles, baptised in 1786 in Darwen Lancs. He is not the son of George and Ann Eccles baptised in 1790 as the non-con. bmd registers have a burial for that child in 1793. But there also seems to several Eccles families in Manchester, just none with a son Christopher in both the IGI and Lancs Online Parish Clerks. There seems to be some link to the non-conformists as many of his descendents are buried in non=conformist parts of Phillips Park and Manchester Southern Cemetery, although they used the Collegiate Church/Cathedral for baptisms and weddings.

I have just noticed something is wrong here - the IGI gives the marriage date as 6 Dec 1827, but two baptisms for their children supposedly took place on 3 Sep 1826.
Why have I never noticed this before ? Definitely a trip to the LDS libray to prowl through the microfilm seems to be necessary now Diane |

This age puts his birth date in 1794 or very late 1793, not that thats much more help. There's a marriage for a Christopher Eccles and Alice Grange in Manchester in Nov 1794, but I have never found any children for them. I would have expected too, that his fathers name was John, not Christopher, but whos to say, really. I wonder if there are still graves at Manchester Cathedral ? I don't expect a headstone as the family was not well off. Back to the burial records for me now - I think I will buy the new one, if Manchester is covered !! It could solve some mysteries.
