Fitzgerald - Snape connection...
 

By way of introduction, I am searching for genealogy information on the John and Jane (Bolton) Snape family and their descendants through their daughter Alice Snape, married to John Fitzgerald on 9 Nov 1845.

The Snapes are buried in St. Mary's Old Burying Ground on Burnely Road between Clayton-le-Moors and Altham.

John and Alice Fitzgerald are buried in "Accrington Cemetery", yet I have no photos or exact location of their grave. (if possible, could someone help with this?)

There are many loose ends with the Snape family (i.e., marriages, children, burial locations):

• Edward Snape (1827 - pre-1861)
• Margaret "Peggy" Snape (1831-11 Oct 1890)
• Anne Snape (1831-?)
• Daniel Snape (1834-20 Aug 1905. mar. Frances Ingham. buried at St. Mary's Old Burying Ground) Children?
• Robert Snape (1835-?)
• Jane Snape (21 Apr 1836)
• Sarah Snape (1839-?), mar. (?) Sager. Had issue:
  • Elizabeth Sager (1870-?)
• John Snape (1842-1868). mar. Nancy Bennet c 1865. Had issue: [unconfirmed...]
  • Ann Snape? (c 1856?-?)
  • Susannah Snape? (c 1859?-?)
  • Henry Snape? (c 1862?-?)
  • Alice Snape? (c 1864?-?)
  • Joseph Snape? (c 1868?-?)

Any help with this family would be greatly appreciated!

My old art teacher was called Doris Snape, but that was through marriage, I never met her husband. She died about 8 years ago, I think she'd have been about 70 at the time. I know both her daughters.

any chance of contacting them with this information?

I've made a copy and I've got to send them some stuff tomorrow anyway so I'll drop that in and see if they come back to me with anything. Might be a few days before they do.
