NAGLE & CRAWFORTH - Cheshire
- Cheshire (County, CHS, England)
Having just discovered last month that a John Enoch NAGLE married my great great aunt Louisa CRAWFORTH. They married in 13th October 1875 in Kensington London. This information I have taken from their marriage certificate. The writing on it isn't fantastic and very hard to decipher. We've managed to make a bit of progress thanks to another researcher helping me to decipher the writing on the certificate. His profession could be a cartier. His father from what I can read is Patrick (Bartholomew) NAGLE. Again with help of other researchers we've managed to find out John was born in France very possibly Bouologne. We know both he and his father lived there. At some stage the family moved to Cheshire as seen on census again another researcher sent me this.
I really apperciate how helpful people are. It does mean a lot
If anyone has any further information on their children, descendants or is a descendant. I'd love to hear and get more information on this branch of the family. You may even know about branches of my family.
