Cumberland / What became of Mary Elizabeth Watson, Mansriggs Hall, Lancashire?
« on: Monday 12 January 15 23:49 GMT (UK)  »
Seeking information on Mary Elizabeth Watson (born abt 1860) Mansriggs Hall, Lancashire, England, daughter of John Watson (b 1823) and Mary Oxley (b 1824).  Have traced her marriage to my great grandfather, James Stackhouse (b 1861) in Ulverston, 10 Sep 1882, and the birth of my grandfather John James Stackhouse, (b 1884) Dalton in Furness.  She disappears without a trace and I find my grandfather is raised by his paternal grandmother Agnes (Boardley) Stackhouse (b. 1834) from a very early age.

The Ulverston News, Saturday, 29 Sept 1883, carries a story about a Mrs. Stackhouse who was run over on New Market Street in Ulverstone, receiving many injuries about her body and thorax. A doctor Cockburn was in attendance and she was conveyed home in a vehicle from the Sun Hotel.  Could this Mrs. Stackhouse be my great grandmother Mary Elizabeth?  My grandfather was not born until June of 1884, which would mean if this is her, that she had conceived prior to the accident.

Would like to know what happened to Mary Elizabeth that she did not raise her child.  When did she die?  Is she the Mrs. Stackhouse in the Ulverston News article?  Any help would be so appreciated.  Lorraine

Family History Beginners Board / Mystery of two Anne Statters b. 1850
« on: Tuesday 28 October 14 21:42 GMT (UK)  »
The mystery:  Who is my 2x great grandfather?  Two Ann Statters were born 1850, their births recorded in the births register for Bootle, Vol. 25, Pg. 38.  The girls are first cousins.  One of these babies became my great grandmother but I am unable to determine which of the brothers is my Ann's father.  My Ann Statter married Isaac Helling, 2 Jun 1873, in the Parish Chuch at Dalton in Furnace, Lancashire.  I know that she died at 66 yrs., 8 Apr 1916, and is buried in Dalton Cemetery. I believe the other Ann Statter died Jul/Aug/Sept 1862 at 12 years. 

In the 1851 census we find both Anns living at the same address.
James Statter @35 years, head
Ann Statter @1 year, daughter
Henry Knight, @ 9 yrs., son-in-law
Richard Knight, @ 7 yrs., son-in-law
Braithwaite Statter @ 21 yrs., brother
Jane Statters @ 22 yrs., sister-in-law
Ann Statter @1 year, niece

In the 1861 census, we find both Anns still at the same address.
John Statter @ 45 yrs., head
Ann Statter @ 11 yrs., daughter
Ann Statter @ 11 yrs., niece

In the 1871 census, we find my Ann no longer living with a parent or uncle.
William Roger @ 47 yrs., head
Dinah Roger @ 39 yrs., spouse
Sharp Roger @ 11 yrs., son
Edward Roger @ 9 yrs., son
Ann Statters @ 21 yrs., servant
John Mossop @ 61 yrs., boarder

I would love to know if my family line leads to John Statter or his younger brother Braithwaite Statter.
