Summary of Interests/Message

My Smith Family connection:

Mearcy (note the "A") SMITH

born c1791/92 Bingley, Yorkshire
married Shackelton Thornber
(Chr. 15 Oct 1797 Burnley) 

m: 19 May 1817 Burnley

& showing - both of this parish.

Mearcy's next appearance was the

1841 census age 50 not born in county. 
Shackelton was not in the entry but
their three children were; Robert (20),

Margaret (20) and William (15).

Margaret married my ancester

John WHITEHEAD. 
     
1861 Census - Burnley Lane, Burnley
Mearcy Smith, age 69, 
(indicating birth year c1791/2)
birthplace: Bingley, Yorkshire
     
The next information I have on Mearcy
is an MI in the graveyard of the Haggate
Mill Lane Baptist Church in Briercliffe,
showing, Mercy (no "A")
wife of Shackleton Thornber,
May 4 1864 aged 74 yrs.

    
That is about all I have for Mearcy,

hope it is of some use to someone,

somewhere, somehow.  
----------------------------------------------------
Request For Help
I would appreciate SKS with access
to  Bingley Parish Records 1790-92,
looking up Birth/Baptism of Mearcy
(Mercy) Smith. Thx. Dennis

----------------------------------------------------
Other Smith info I found:
I went looking in some twenty year
old files and came across this
information. I have a photocopy of a
Certificate of Marriage dated
24 July 1909  between
Henry Ogden (31) & Lucy Smith (27) 
at Holy Church in the Parish of
Parkfield in Middleton, County of
Lancaster.

--

Lucy is described as "Widow",
father William Whitehead.
I have no idea who her late husband was,
except that his last name must have
been SMITH. As Lucy did not appear
to fit into my Whitehead family I did
not pursue the matter. There is
considerable other info on the paper
but nothing that would indicate who
her late husband was.

  

Other researchers - Any data or
other info about the above family?
>>please share it >>

  

An entry at the LancashireBMD database,

In the mid-16th Century and probably earlier
(earliest know reference 1552) a small chapel
called “St.Elyn’s” served Eccleston, Windle,
Parr and Sutton, the four villages from which
St.Helens the town was formed, and named
after the chapel.The latest re-building was
in 1926, as stands the present-day church,
pictured below

St Helens Parish Church
