Mary and Jane Wareing - reply to Msg 179

Anne - There's a Mary E Waring 24 and Jane 7 in the 1901, both b Ince, boarders living with Joseph and Elizabeth Melling in Aspull. If this is them them, then I fear that they're not related to my Wareings, who came from Scarisbrick.

Good luck. - Keith

Any information wouold be of great interest.

Hi John, records which have survived for Ormskirk Workhouse are held at Lancashire Record Office, in Preston. They have an online catalogue called LANCAT. web address www.lancashire.gov.uk/education/record office/services/catalogue.asp

However, I don't think the records go to as far as 1851, but worth having a look. I think they will do look-ups if you email them.

This society has produced a memorial inscriptions CD for Ormskirk Parish Church, see the sales link on the left hand side. This has a surname index, and instructions on how to find a particular gravestone if it has been transcribed.

The other way is to look at the burial register for the church, but that won't tell you where the grave is, only that they are there, somewhere.

I hope this helps.

I am trying to track down the registers for the Moor St. and Union Workhouse, Ormskirk for 1851. There are 3 inmates/scholars to whom I may be related - Robert Ball (9), John Ball (8) and Ann Johnson (15). I am writing from Australia & cannot do the research myself. I am quite happy to pay any research fees.
