BRICK WALL
- Timperley
Can anyone in Timperley help me?
I am trying to trace the SINGLETON family and have reached a dead end.
I know that my 2xgreat grandfather Robert Peter Singleton was born in Manchester in about 1831. When he married he gave his fathers name as John Singleton,a Clerk. Robert was a Cart Porter and when he moved to London worked on the railway.
Unable to find any record of his birth or any certain connections with any John Singleton in Manchester I am wondering if there could be a connection with a PETER SINGLETON and his wife ALICE,who were living in Granby Street in Manchester in 1841 as he too gave his occupation as Carter in the 1841 census. By the 1851 census they had moved to Old Road, Heaton Norris with their 4 children JAMES, THOMAS, WILLIAM and JOHN. PETER described himself as a porter then and both he and his wife ALICE gave THEIR PLACE OF BIRTH as TIMPERLEY CHESHIRE.
Is there anyone who has any knowledge of their families in TIMPERLEY?
