I believe John Chorlton (B. 2 Apr 1786) married
Hannah Seel (B. 12 Jun 1791.) They married 12 Oct 1807, St. Michael's, Ashton.
I found a listing for John Chorlton (B. 1786) died 4 Sep 1837, burried at English Cimitero, Livorno Toscana, Italy.

ADMIN NOTE:

It will be easier for someone to help if you'll provide some locations and say exactly what information you're seeking.

It also helps to type surnames in all caps. That makes it easier for fellow researchers to spot the last names.

Good luck!

Hello,the James E Chorlton 1882-1917 to whom you refer was the Great-Uncle of my Husband Michael.We feel saddend and ashamed that we only "discovered" him a couple of weeks ago.
James Edward was the youngest child of Joseph and Elizabeth Chorlton(nee Schofield)and youngest of Michael's Grandfather Thomas family.We cannot understand why there has never been a single mention of him especially on Rememberance Sunday each year,it was a particular shock as Michael past the War Memorial in Slaithwaite on which his name is inscribed hundreds of times going about his everyday life.We have also discovered that he is buried and Memorialised at Tyne Cott War Cemetery in Flanders and that he married Jessie Hawley on 1 May 1915 at Helme Parish Church,we have so far no futher information.We shall of course be honouring his memory this Rememberance Sunday.
If anyone has any information regarding John Chorlton born abt 1801 Newcastle and Hannah Hirst parents of Joseph I would be greatfull having met a brick wall.

This is a correction to the previous message. FRANCES ALLCOCK only became CHORLTON after she married WILLIAM CHORLTON.

Charles Chorlton (c. 1754 Manchester, Lancashire, England) who married Ann Sellars

2011-04-19 13:42:32Z

Hi,

I'm researching Charles Chorlton (c. 1754 Manchester, Lancashire, England) who married Ann Sellars (though I don't know a marriage date).

I believe his father to be John Chorlton and him to have 2 siblings: James Chorlton (c. 1747) and Dinah Chorlton (c.1753)

Charles died in 1802 in Manchester.

Charles and Ann had 8 children in Ardwick in Manchester:

John Chorlton (1786)
James Chorlton (1789)
Edward Chorlton (1790 - 1791)
Edward Chorlton (1791 died as infant)
Dinah Chorlton (1792: married George Gyte in 1824 and James Watts in 1839. She died in 1843)
Edward Chorlton (1794)
Mary Chorlton (1796)
Charles Chorlton (1799)

Any additional information would be greatly appreciated,

Hope to hear some news soon!

Hello,
On my great great grandfather's death certificate, in England, he was residing with W.H. Chorlton of Droylsdon, and Mr Chorlton as listed as my great grandfathers step-brother.
Has anyone come across the Chorltons in Audenshaw, Cheshire, England?
Thank you,
Ruth

Re: looking for manchester chorltons

RobertChorlton — 2011-04-19 13:41:36Z

My Chorlton family came from Ashton under Lyne, and I have been finding more details in the Cheshire BMD website.

So far I have got back to Henry Chorlton dob 1829.

Ruth

Re: looking for manchester chorltons

woodheadgeefamily — 2011-04-19 13:41:17Z

I have a mystery with my great grandfather, Edwin Gee.
According to his death certificate in 1925, H W Chorlton was listed as Edwin's step brother/ informant. Edwin did not have any step brothers that I am aware of, so maybe H W was a friend or another type of relation?
H W was born in 1865, and his father was Robert Chorlton.
H W was the same age as Edwin Gee. That is the only thing they had in common, besides living together, when Edwin died, may have been Romiley, Werneth, Godley ( where Edwin lived )
or close relations such as Bardsley, Haughton, Linney and Greenwood.
Thank you,
Ruth

I am researching my early Gee roots. I am translating a will for Reginalde Gee (1600's)and the name Chorley as a place or name keeps coming up. I have found out quite a bit of information from the area called the Salford Hundreds and I am finding my Gee's in Haughton possibly originally from Chester and Manchester.
Are Chorley and Chorlton related names?

I'm looking for any information about an Edmund A Chorlton who married an Amelia Wedderburn (Weatherburn) in Lowell, MA in 1830. He was born about 1808 and moved to the U.S. between 1830 and 1835. I believe he migrated through Taunton, MA and settled in Providence.

If you have any information about this Chorlton or even his wife, Amelia Wedderburn, I'd appreciate it greatly.

James Chorlton, Withington

xthurso — 2009-02-07 21:49:37Z

I have recently started researching my Chorltons and am looking for James Chorlton (b~1825) - father Thomas Chorlton (b~1800), mother Sarah Broadey (b~1803), wife Ann Axon (b~1823). 3 children - Elizabeth (b~1848), William (b1849) and John (b~1855). They were a farming family, latterly at Underbank Farm, Withington. Another branch of the same family (James' brother William) was at Broad Hill Farm, Withington.

I think James died young (pre 1868) but have so far failed to trace his death. Can anyone help with any info either about James, his siblings or any branch of that family please?

Re: CHORLTON

Robert_Chorlton — 2007-06-26 01:48:17Z

Hi

I am aware that a Chorlton that may be linked to mine, may have gone to the US, but cannot locate the info again. I am not even sure if he stayed in the US. (I will keep looking for the onfo)

These are my known relations:

1829 Henry Chorlton (b: Ashton Under Lyne) m Ann CLEGG (b: Darfield, Yorkshire) in 1851 at Saddleworth/Oldham
1861 Betty Chorlton (b: Ashton Under Lyne) m Charles HILL in 1884 at Ashton
1864 Ellis Chorlton (b: Ashton Under Lyne) m Harriett STACKHOUSE in 1888 at Ashton
1870 John Chorlton (b: Ashton Under Lyne) m Mary J HADFIELD 1894 in Ashton
1889 James Henry Chorlton (b: Ashton Under Lyne 8d/457 ) m Selina WINSTANLEY
1892 Albert Ellis Chorlton (b: Ashton Under Lyne) m Florence CORBETT
1896 Anne Chorlton (b: Ashton Under Lyne) m Daniel WOLSTENCROFT
1896 Lilian Gertrude Chorlton (b: Ashton Under Lyne 8d/498) m: Herbert GREENWOOD in 1919 at Ashton
1898 Thomas Cecil Chorlton (b: Ashton under Lyne 8d/512)
1898 Henry Chorlton (b: Ashton Under Lyne) m Lillian PARKER
1900 Reginald Chorlton (b: Ashton Under Lyne 8d 459 )
1901 John Chorlton (b: Ashton Under Lyne) m Marion BARBER
1903 Harold Chorlton
1906 Ethel Chorlton m Greg KNOTT

Ellis Chorlton 1864, was a verger at St Peters Church in Ashton.

Before 1829 I am am a bit unsure, although I have been looking at these from the 1851 Ashton census:
c1788 Henry Chorlton, Head, b: Ashton-Under-Lyne
c1818 Phebe Chorlton, Daughter, b: Ashton-Under-Lyne
c1829 Henry Chorlton, Son, b: Ashton-Under-Lyne
c1837 Sarah Chorlton, Granddaughter, b: Bolton, Lancashire (Child of John & Jane Chorlton who were in Bolton in the 1851 census).

Please let me know if you have come across any of these, or where your Ashton link begins.

I am in Australia myself, although only a very recent migrant.

Re: CHORLTON

hrw30 — 2007-06-25 17:59:50Z

Robert..

The Chorlton family I know of came from Ashton UL as well. They came to the US and settle in Fall River, MA. I am not related, but a great uncle married into the family and the family was friends with my Dad and Uncles as far as I can tell.

You are in Australia? Your branch ever in the US?

I quite understand your frustration. But just to let you know that you are not the only Deborah Chorlton - my cousin is !
Her father was Harold Chorlton. The surname Chorlton mostly comes from Chorlton near Manchester and it would appear that way way back a great number of people who lived in that area took Chorlton as their surname. I have been trying to trace my Mother's line back and it is almost impossible - sorry. Dee

2004-12-28 04:16:40Z

New info. Edmunds father was James Burton. His mother was Elizabeth Preston. James and Elizabeth disapeared and left Edmund with his mother's parents James Osborn and Mary Osborn. So Edmund was raised by his grandparents.
I have not been able to trace what happened to Jane & Elizabeth but I suspect it was the turbuuruloiuus eppdemssc. Anyone out there care to contribute?.

dlchorlton — 2004-12-14 05:04:26Z

I have to admit I am frustrated!!!! I can not believe that there are so few Chorltons in the world today that I can not find a relation. I have visited all the web sites. I have read all the messages. I have spent hour, days, weeks, moths, years trying to find a connection. I find it inpossible to believe that wiith a name like ours, we are not all connected in some way. In some way, in some year our relatives knew were related to each other. My name is Deborah Lynn Chorlton, my father was David John (Jack) Chorlton, his father was James Edger Chorlton his father was Edmund Chorllton, and I believe but can not confirm that his father was Edmund Chorlton. I believe that this family was very poor. All records indicate that they were pasture farmers. However, Edmund Jr. had several children. Where are his decendense?

Anyone out there that knowes anything about this family, I need to hear frrom you.
