Have you ever come across a John HANKINSON baptised about 1811 or perhaps sometime after? (Parent John HANKINSON TAILOR).  I seem to be at a stumbling block and find it hard to get back from here. Any information would be very useful.
Thanks!                                                                                  laugh78@hotmail.com

Do you know?

Yes its another episode of down your way.

Anyway, starting at Dumplington, which in times past was very scarce of residential abodes and in the present day contains none.  The  influx of  Industry  and the approach  & bypass roads to and from  the  large  retail  "Trafford Centre"  has consumed  practically  all of  Dumplington.  In fact Dumplington  Circle (a  road  roundabout) as  been  renamed.  So very  little of  the Dumplington name  now exists.  There  is a cemetery  on Old  Barton Road  situated  behind the church, which faces onto Redclyffe Road  [B5211] the only 2 roads in Dumplington.  Present day directions are head north from the church for about 100 yards and you are on the Barton Swing Bridge over the Manchester Ship Canal and  next  to the Barton Aqueduct.  This is a swing bridge as well but this carries  the  Bridgewater Canal over the  Manchester Ship Canal,  previous  to 1894 [prior to the MSC being cut] the River Irwell  separated  Dumplington  from Barton upon Irwell.  ½ mile north you  have Patricroft,  2 miles east you have Eccles,  ½ mile west  you  have Peel green and 3 mile west you have Irlam, another 1 mile you have Cadishead, another ¼ mile you have Hollins Green with  Glazebrook  ½ mile northwards at  this point, continuing west  towards Warrington you find Rixton & Woolston then Warrington.
The southern  part of  Barton upon Irwell  and  all of Dumplington  are  now in  Trafford with  the registrar's office in Sale.  Eccles,  Patricroft,  Peel Green,  Irlam & Cadishead are in  Salford with the registrars office in Salford [old]. 
The whole of Rixton cum Glazebrook Parish, which encompasses Hollins Green & Woolston, are in Warrington with  the registrar's office being in Warrington.  Warrington  being  in Cheshire since 1974 and Lancashire pre 1974.
Trafford & Salford are part of  the defunct Greater Manchester County. With Salford being made up  totally  from  old  Lancashire,  and Trafford  being  made up of old  Lancashire  and  parts  of Cheshire.

Answer to the Christmas Brain Teaser.
Just to recap,
Two men were looking at a photograph of a person and one said to the other.
" Brothers, sisters have I none, that man's father is my father's son"
What relation is the person in the photograph?

It was his Son in the photo! 
Now think about it, the person looking at the photo has no brothers or sisters.

The easy way to understand it,
is to assume that you are the father and look at a photo of your son and repeat the words
"that man's father (that is the father of the person in the photo) is my father's son

Who is your father's son? 
You are, so it's your son in the photo.
If you got it right, you may have a sweetie for being a clever clogs.

1881 Census for Warwick

In my analysis of the 1881 census for Warwick area,
there were 92 people who made up 22 family units
The main places were: -

Chilvers Coton           with 36 persons living in           8 separate family units,
Hartshill                     with 34 persons living in           9 separate family units.
Polesworth                 with 10 persons living in                       2 family units.
Atherstone                with 3 persons living in                              1 family unit.
Stockingford             with 1 person living in                               1 family unit.

This left one family of 6 from Warrington,
1 gentleman from Ireland, and
1 widow from Shropshire.

I feel sure there must be a very strong link between all these families and hope some one will take up the challenge to join them!

St. Helen's church, Hollinfare and the 'Coronation Tree' early 1900's.
Taken from what is now the Cemetery Gates, the Coronation Tree was replaced by a Cenotaph to commemorate the Great War dead from the village.
The  gravestones  you  see  were  all  laid  flat or harvested  in  the  early  1950's  without transcription and the area was landscaped over those headstones laid flat. To the right of the graveyard  but outside the wall  is  a cindered  pathway  leading  to  what was James HANKINSON's  blacksmith  shop,  now  a  small  local  garage  repair  workshop.
