Wow ... what a nice thing for you to do! The family pretty much lived
in/near Dukinfield and baptized their children at St Michael's in Ashton
Under Lyne. Solomon himself became a School Master (a serious upgrade
from being a spinner) somewhere around 1825 but the rest of the family
continued to be spinners and weavers and overlookers in the textile
industry. Thanks. The genealogy community is made of such nice people.

One never knows...I do wish you the best. My cousin is from Cheshire,
I'll see if he can drum up any more clues for you.
Have a great weekend and good luck,

Thanks for the response Coral Anna. Yes,
Ancestry.com has been a
major
partner in my research for a long while. I hesitate to think what my
travel expenses would have been without it.
I had not thought of a Union. hmmm. Splendid idea. Thank you.
I've stepped lightly into the Cartwrights of Staffordshire, but glory
be
there are a lot of them. With no way to connect any of them to mine
...
it's been daunting. The furthest back "fact" that I have is
GGGgrandfather Solomon Cartwright. 1841 census states he was 46 years
(no, they did not do the rounding thing for this family. why??? don't
know) and born somewhere other than Cheshire. I sent for his death
certificate (1850) which at least does not refute that. So I have
Solomon Cartwright born 1795 somewhere in England but not Cheshire,
married to Hannah Binns in 1813 at Manchester Cathedral. Hannah might
have been from Yorkshire but that's not yet confirmed. Now Solomon
was
a good guy ... he baptized his children. Between that and birth
registrations and the transcript of an interview with his eldest son
.... in the States ... I've got the family after 1800 pretty well
located and tracked. Before Solomon, nothing. I guess it could be
worse ... I could be look!
ing for someone named Jones in Wales.
I'm off to the internet to see what I can find about textile unions.
There's lots of history out there, but maybe in the last few years
someone has transcribed some lists or ledgers. Wouldn't that be
grand?
thanks again, Kathleen

Kathleen:
Have you tried Ancestry.com? Wasn't there some kind of
weavers/spinners "union" (I know that's not the correct terminology
for
them then) that they might have belonged to? Also, Staffordshire? It
appears my ancestors did a lot of to-ing & fro-ing into Staffs during
their lifetimes.
Sigh, you've probably tried all those already! I do wish you well.
kind regards

If I could find a group of Cartwrights to whom mine are even
tenuously connected,
I'd love to have/attend a reunion. But at this
point it's only a case of "surname in common". My tree comes to a
total
dead end among the weavers and spinners of Cheshire/Lancs in the early
1800's. Can't find where they came from; Can't even logically connect
them to neighbors with the same surname who are probably cousins of
some
sort. My twig on the tree is from those who emigrated to the US,
fallout
from the Cotton Famine, mostly. Sigh. I keep reading the boards hoping
to find someone searching from the other side of the brick wall.
