Re: WADE of Oswaldtwistle

Ian Wade was my cousin, sadly he passed away a few years ago, his brother Colin lives down south somewhere and his sister, Joan, lives in Spain. You are right about the butchers on Park Rd, it belonged to his dad, my uncle Harry. Ian was also a butcher and had a shop in Preston ( Longton I think).

Re: WADE of Oswaldtwistle

Thanks Jelly Baby, sorry to hear Ian passed away, I went to the shop once in the mid 50s, possibly a birthday, can't remember. Ian certainly was a butcher,s lad and not surprising he took up the trade.

Re: WADE of Oswaldtwistle

Thanks all for your suggestions.

My Great Great Grandfather was Peter Wade, who was born in Accrington ca. 1858, the son of Peter Wade and Alice Holt.

In 1861 he was living with his parents and siblings in New Accrington.

I have not yet found him in the census of 1871.

He was a cotton weaver and married to Susan Annie Roberts, the daughter of William Roberts and Nanny Earnshaw, and lived on Gillies St., Accrington in 1881.

In 1891 he and his family were living at Stanley Street, Blackburn.

In 1901 they had moved to Larch St., Nelson.

His siblings were:

Mary Alice Wade (b.1846), married Ormerod Holden.
James (b. 1849)
Sarah Ellen (b. 1850 - d. 1853)
John (b. 1853)
Richard Thomas (b. 1856)
Betty Ann (b. 1861 - d. 1865)

Regards

Paul

Used to play three card brag on Sundays up at Donald's house in Ossy, just around the corner from the Black Dog. He had wheels too. An old van ... Austin A 35 or some shiite like that ... you could pile a whole bunch of guys into that vehicle. I remember going in that old beater to the Nelson Imperial to hear the Searchers just after the release of "Needles and Pins". Built like a brick shiitehouse Ian was. Sorry to hear he passed.

Re: WADE of Oswaldtwistle

Ian was only 9 or 10 when I knew him Eric but he was chubby lad even back then and Sid Wright is related to my wife, in a round about way, the world gets smaller.

Re: WADE of Oswaldtwistle

Hi Paul, I have your Wade family in the 1871 census living in New Accrington but no address which was annoying. It has Peter, Alice, James, John, Richard, and Peter, so they were still in Accrington in 1871. Regards, Bryan.

Re: WADE of Oswaldtwistle

Problem solved Paul. The family lived at 49 Plantation St Accrington in 1871 just two doors up from #45 where they lived in 1861, the problem is that in the 1871 census the name is read as Noade, punch in Peter Noade and you will see the error. Now I need a scotch!!!

Re: WADE of Oswaldtwistle

You're welcome Paul.

Hi all,

I have been researching my family history via the well known genealogy sites, the Lan-opc site, the Lancashire BMD site, British Newspaper Archives, Forces War Records and membership of various family history groups and have determined that the family of my grandmother (she passed away when my mum was 7 years old), who was raised in Barrowford, were from Oswaldtwistle - over several generations, it appears.

There seem to be a number of baptisms, marriages and burials at both St. James in Church, and Immanuel, Oswaldtwistle for the family.

Now I can use the various sites to determine most records but what I am really looking for are monumental inscriptions for both cemeteries. The family name is WADE.

Since I now live in Germany I am unfortunately reliant on web databases for most of my research and unable to visit the cemeteries, therefore MIs are at present my only way of determining family links.

Any help locating sets of MIs for both cemeteries would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Kind regards

Paul

Re: WADE of Oswaldtwistle

Thank you Woosung.

I have not yet found a direct connection, but expect there may be one and will research this path.

If there is a connection then it is going to be about 1800 or earlier.

Kind regards

Paul :)
