Jonathan Balmer c1804 Lancashire (Leigh)
Hi
my mother was Doris Balmer born in Leigh in 1923. I've traced her line back as far as Jonathan Balmer married to Mary Bale at St Oswalds Winwick on 5th May 1827.
They had a son James Balmer who had a son in 1869 James Edward Balmer (m Elizabeth Dunagan)who had my grand father John Balmer(m Maggie Gregory) . I know that John had siblings including Catherine (Kitty) Elizabeth (Lizzie) and Frank.
They all lived in the Leigh areas and were largely coal miners although Jonathon was a wheelwright.
I'd love any information that anyone might have particularly with regards to Jonathon.
Many thanks
Angela
