Hello, Having just discovered a whole parcel of Eckersley's in my family i looked up the Eckersley family site and read of your interest on the Lancashire Eckersley's.My Gt.Gt.Grandfather Isaac Newton was married to a Mary Ann Eckersley. Born Oldham.Lancs. On the 1871 Census they are shown as living with her mother Mary Eckersley (greengrocer) at Nubcote StreetOldham.Mary's(senior)age is given as 54..with her are her son James(or Jimmy)Daughters Betty and Hannah. Mary Ann Newton(35) Isaac Newton(35) are there with their children John,Mary Alice,William,James Henry and Richard.. Having checked back to the 1861 Census Mary Eckersley is a widow with children,James,William,John,Betty and Hannah.If you have come across any of these names in your research,i would be most interested.

ECKERSLEYS of LOWTON, LANCS

mel1438 — 2006-03-02 10:54:21Z

I'm looking for any information about the Eckersleys of Lowton in Lancashire. I have traced them back to Richard (B:1720 D:1780) who married a Mary ?. The Eckersleys have lived in Lowton for centuries. My ancestors featured very heavily in the Primitive Methodist church, and Richard (B:1804 D:1892) was a very popular preacher. He married Betty Bridge. I know there are several Eckersleys still living in the town, so hopefully they have some more information.

Cheers

Eckersley's in Wigan

kwilson1178 — 2006-02-23 16:12:17Z

My Eckersley's seem to have been in Wigan for quite a few generations. I am however stuck at William Eckersey (b: Abt 1825) married Margaret Howard (b; Abt 1826) and had three children that I am aware of. I am related to this line. William seems to have remarried in 1855 to a Sarah Ann Gaskell (b: abt 1830) and wen ton to have a further 9 children.

Any help would be appreciated. I have also found a link to Barton upon Irwell aswell. Which makes sense as we found a 'postcard' in an old box of Williams daugther in law from here, and the family story is that John (the son of William) worked in a cotton mill as a bookkeeper. This was directly told to us by me g grandmother who only died in 1985.

He went to the Victorian Goldfields where he married ELIZABETH KEAYS in Mansfield, Victoria on September 1862. They had the following children:-

EMILY (MARION) born 1864
ALICE born 1865

ECKERSLEYS FROM PRESTWICH, LANCASHIRE,ENGLAND

RonEck — 2001-11-25 14:11:45Z

I was surprised and excited to find ECKERSLEY families in Utah from the LDS ancestor files. My family remained in England while 3 or 4 from Prestwich, Radcliffe, Oldham, Farnworth and Kearsley emigrated to the U.S. and Australia. Because of large number of Eckersleys with same first names in this area of Lancs. around 1800 it is very hard to prove links into 1700's. My interests are Thomas and Mary, George and Alice - all living in Prestwich around 1810. However, I collect all data on any ECKERSLEYS pre-1800 and try to assemble family groups from evidence available. I'd be delighted to hear from any descendents from Lancashire.

I am a great grandaughter of Rev. James Eckersley and am having alot of trouble finding any records of him. From the family bible, I know that he was born on August 1, 1854 in Yorkshire, England. His mother's maiden name was Sarah Oldroyd. He immigrated to Pennsylvania, U.S.A. at an unknown time and married Cornelia Gerard in 1853. They had 4 sons and a daughter (Wilfred, James Robertson, William Arthur-my grandfather, Wilbur Stanley, John Harold and Cornelia) I am looking for info on who my great grandfather's father was, if he had any siblings, and also where are the children of John Harold and Cornelia. John Harold moved to Colorado. Cornelia lived in Philadelphia. I would great appreciate a reply if anyone knows any details that would help me!!!!! Thank-you! Jeanne

Hi, we were just checking up on other relatives when we tried Eckersley. My G.G.Grandfather was called Hiram Eckersley b. 1858 and lived in Farnworth Manchester. He had 3 sons William, George and Walter. Unfortunately I do not recognise any of the names you have mentioned, but Eckersley was a very common name in that area. Good luck with your search, if you can help me I would be very grateful too.
