United States of America / Rosanna Kelly
« on: Wednesday 09 November 16 10:35 GMT (UK)  »
Hello
I am looking into my husbands great grandmother, she was born in Suffolk Massachusetts around 1842-1844, her father was called William Kelly from Ireland, but she came to the UK in 1861 and married a Peter Proctor, then she married someone called James Cuerden and stayed here until her death in 1912.  But I keep drawing a blank over in America.

Thanks very much

Hi,

Thanks for the info. I always wondered if James came from Rochdale as I couldn't find anything on the Isle of Man, Emily Ridings his wife was my great aunt and I know they had two children William and Doreen, Doreen was married 1953 but I cannot find anything about William, they were my mother's cousins and I know as children they were quite close.

I know the areas of Rochdale you speak about as I live here.

Cheers

Hi everyone,

Thanks for the differing possibilities, Rosanna was married in the census of 1871 to Peter Proctor, and then the census of 1881 married to James Cuerden, no William Kelly. 

There is the added problem that I do not no know her mother's name and I have asked the family. There seems to be very little known about Rosanna's time in Boston. I have looked at the passenger lists and they are very sketchy.  I did find William at the Proctor Household in 1861 along with Rosanna, this was in Salmesbury, part of Preston, which is not far from Blackburn and Darwen where Rosanna lived later on with two sisters during her time in Darwen and working in a mill before her first marriage in Accrington.

I am so grateful for all the input from everyone, It leads me to believe that something happened between the census years 1871 and 1881.

Cheers

Hi,
 
It does seem that he may or may not have been alive, will check free bmd, it is a mystery as to why she was in Accrington on her own.

Cheers

Hi,

Thanks, that does mean that William was with Rosanna at her first marriage, I will see if I can locate him in Lancashire, perhaps until his death.

Cheers again

The info has come from the marriage certificate in 1876 with Rosanna and James Cuerden and he signed as Rosanna's father.  Previously she married first time in 186I don't have any other evidence.

cheers
