Family Talent |

Two of my cousins are creating some great music and I would like to share their web links with you. First up is my American cousin, Janet. Who with her fella Mick create the sound of Moonridge a band out of Nashville.
Next is Ella, who provides the vocals for a band called Fresh Legs. These guys come from Portsmouth (UK). Two very differnet places, two very different sounds.
I hope you enjoy the tracks they provide on their Myspace worlds.. |

Gaining the detail on "Peter Greenhalgh" B Cir.1853 Part 2 |
 |
The birth certificate for Peter Greenhalgh born Cir. 1853 has arrived and good news its the correct one. Peter was born on the 19th March 1853 at Church Street, Elton, Bury, Lancashire... It confirms his mother Ann Chadwick and also from this I can say that Ann could not write as the certificate has a cross as her mark. Also confirmed is Peters father, Joseph a stone mason.
Its great to finally validate Peters Birth, and Marriage... Peters Death of course is confirmed through the tombstone inscription
I am now moving on another family member, this time on my mothers side, a Harry Herman Kenig, and I am looking forward to bringing this news to the website very soon... so do return to see the very latest research that I have carried out. |

Gaining the detail on "Peter Greenhalgh" B Cir.1853 |
 |
I am now working on some detailed research validating information which I have, picking one name and driving through until I have all the information I can locate.
The first name is Peter Greenhalgh, born Cir. 1853 in Bury. I started by obtaining the marriage certificate to Betsy Suthurst on the 14th September 1875. The certificate shows the Peter was 22 years old, his father was Joseph Greenhalgh, a Stonemason. His residence was shown as Elton fold, Bury and they were married in the Brunswick chapel according to the rites of the United Methodist Free Chruch.
Betsy Suthurst was two years older than Peter at 24 and her fathers name was Henry Suthurst, his occupation was a coal miner. Her address at the time of marriage was Wellington Street, Elton.
My next step is to confirm the birth of Peter and I have requested a birth certificate which I think is the correct one. I will update the website once I have this information. |

Greenhalgh
"Preserves" history |
 |
As
regular visitors know I am always looking for Greenhalghs
in history and in a recent trawl across the internet I located
this wonderful advert in the September 3 1925 edition of
the Staffordshire Sentinel.
J
Greenhalgh ltd made jams/preserves in Reddish Stockport.
I have found no other information about them yet but I will
keep looking.
The
marketing in this advert is as aggressive as any today.
"Better jams mean better health".. it's quite
a claim, and it goes on to rubbish the other "so called
jams" as being "pulp" and containing "Chemicals"
.
It
just goes to show that the advertising we see today is nothing
new.
If anyone
has any further information regarding this company please
do get in contact or join the forum and post your information
there.
The
image above can be clicked to see a larger view I hope you
enjoy the wonderful 1920's advert as much as I did. |

Family Gravestone: 8-2-04 |
 |
They
say a picture is worth more than a thousand words, and this
single picture sent to me by Stephen Greenhalgh certainly
confirms that.
For starters this picture confirms that the Joseph I found
at the commonwealth war graves commision is indeed the correct
one, this alone is very important.
Secondly
it suggests that possibly in 1975 three of Peters Children
were still alive, these being Fred, Frank and Harold.
