Rolnora - Thank you so much! That would be amazing to see Mary Austin's obituary. They were all living in Heavily as far as I know. In my first post I did detail the death information of Mary (Hadfield) and Alfred Austin. I also have a photo of them taken on the occasion of their Diamond Wedding Anniversary celebration which took place Feb. 2, 1934 at St. Mary's Parish Church, Stockport, by the Rev. John Walker. They lived at 5 Osborne Road and were married Feb. 2, 1874.
I think you are on the right track re: William and Hannah
Robert Hazeldine 1785-1886 is also noted as a gardener in my records.
Joseph Hadfield (hub of Mary Hazeldine) was a hatter also.
Robert Hazeldine's father Robert born 1767 (no death date) married a Sarah Ashton born 1756 (no death date) and her father was William Ashton born 1731 (no death date) if any of this information will be helpful to you when you go to Stockport.
Rolnora you are a gem for doing this
. Honestly it will answer a lot of questions for me. I have been having computer problems so if I don't respond please be aware of this...I will be back online at some point. Cheers. Honnoria
