William Joseph born in Portlaw 11 Feb 1871 to Robert Partridge (1834) and Ellen Prendergast (1835 - 1898). He married Norah Hearn (1874 Portlaw -1955) on 11 November 1893. In 1896 when Norah gave birth to twin girls, William is shown as residing in Fall River, USA probably with his brother David who had emigrated there in 1894. William and Norah cam to Manchester, England with their 3 daughters in the late 1890's. They had 4 more daughters and settled in Droylsden, England. Their eldest daughter Ellen died in 1903 aged 8. My great grandmother was born in 1906 and named after her.The 1901 and 1911 census show William as a stoker. William died 13 July 1954 and he is buried in Droylsden Cemetery.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply. This matches the information I found on Ancestry too. William was my great-grandad & Ellen my grandma. Nice to meet you!

Hi, I'm Mary's daughter so we are clearly cousins. Are you on Ancestry? Maybe we could exchange information.

Hi, I'm Michael's youngest daughter, how funny to meet on here! Did you post a b/w photo on Ancestry of 'aunty katy'? Because I added that person to access my tree, but I'm not 100% sure how it works (I don't have paid access, which might affect things).
