My grandfathers birth certificate has the following information .... John Thomas Darbyshire born Jan 4th 1897 In Leigh Lancashire. His parents were James Darbyshire and Mary Ann (Gaskell) I have found a marriage certificate for (a) James Darbyshire and Mary Ann Gaskell for March 4 1872. (see info below) On John's death certificate his last name was Derbyshire. Unsure when the name change occured. I have heard that it changed when the family came to Canada. I also know that John left Glace Bay after a following out with his father and new step mother,after Mary Ann's death and he moved to Ontario. He never talked about his parents after that.
Marriage Certificate ...
James Darbyshire age 22 Bachelor Collier Woodhouse Lane Wigan Father William Collier
Mary Ann Gaskell age 18 Spinster Weaver Woodhouse Lane Wigan Father Richard Labourer
Has any body done any research (into other sibblings) that can confirm John Thomas was their son? This James and Mary Ann left for Canada on Feb 23 1905 and settled in Glace Bay.
I have proof of four siblings..Elizabeth b 1888, Nelly (possibly Francis) born 1893, John Thomas born 1897, and William born June 21872 in Wigan. (This was done through a letter by Elizabeth in 1969 William was also confirmed through Canadian enlistment papers. Williams wife was Amy Bertha). These four siblings came to Canada - Elizabeth, William, Nelly (Francis) and John Thomas. I do not know if the other sibblings came to Canada.
Names and dates in the 1881, 1891 and 1901 census show a concurrence with these dates. Additional siblings show a Jane b 1881, Hannah b 1883, Richard b 1885.
Does any one have any other information on the siblings..etc..to show proof of this being the correct James and Mary Ann.
I have also heard some siblinds moved to the States..possibly Boston.
Any help or info would be great!!
