I have realised that I know hardly ANYTHING about my father's family whereas my cousin has spent the last 20 years researching my mother's side and has gone back to @ 1540. Nice unusual surname of Mobberley though.
Anyway I just thought I'd have a browse at a free site first and I THINK I've found my father, but can't find my grand-father. It doesn't help that I don't know his name!
My father was James Frank Carr DOB 16/3/1921 and THINK his mother was called Elsie. Can any of you give me info on my grandfather please. Also if I join an Ancestry site, which one do you recommend. Thank you:-)

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Dotty. This is absolutely wonderful. I'll write it all down in the form of a "tree". I just told my Mum about the mining disaster. She was amazed. Sometime in the future I'll make a point of going to see the memorial. I have a recollection of the 2 old aunts, Alice and Jessie when my Dad took me to Dukinfield with the grandmother (Elsie Matley)but it's VERY vague as I was quite little. I have a half brother so I'll pass this info on to him too. You're a star Dotty - thank you:-)

yes of course but they aren't all as reasonably straight forward as this one, though even this one had it's hurdles, it's not often too hard to get back to the early 1800s these days, before that the sources are less and less online and visits to various depositories would be necessary, either that or the 'who do you think you are' Production budget!
the george carr with the harthill birth is not the right one, didn't qwuite take to it anyway, george is on the 1841 censu in Dukinfield with Esther and the 3 children, but in the whether born in the county column it has a N across from his entry, which means he was not born in cheshire, he died in 1851 and his death us registered in the first quarter therefore he didn't live to be on the 1851 census and so no indication of a birth place from that.
horseshoes see above thread for slight amendment to the Hoban line, it makes the marriage to margaret void, though I am still not 100% sure whether henry married before sarah as he was nearly 40 then. the parents of henry don't change though, his mother just re-married a william rose and it gives him a full sister maragert hoban and some half siblings surname rose.
