[janeok]

Hi
Help required on finding the family of Mary Nowell Whitworth Christened 16 February 1804 Royston.  Her Father was Richard Whitworth, Mother Mary Haywood, Brothers William Whitworth and Richard Whitworth.  This is all the information I have, also looking for her living relatives
Thanks

Hi

I cannot find a marriage to prove this, but the age, birthplace and the visitor suggest that this might be her.....

Despite the ages shown, I think that this could be William and Mary Swift living with her mother and brother.....

1841

Mary Whitworth 35 (sic) Innkeeper
Richard do 30
William Swift 30 Stone Cutter
Mary do 35

Risinglowe, Upper Hallam & Dore, Sheffield

On the Ancestry transcription William and Mary Swift are shown as 50 and 55 but I think their (rounded down) ages should be as I have shown them above.

Hi DS
Thank you very much for the information.  Mary's second name is Nowell.  I am helping a lady at one of our Family History days and has something of Mary's of when she was age 8. 
The lady I am helping also came from Sheffield.  I was unable also to find the Marriage of Mary so the information you have given us will help us to find any of Mary's living relatives.
Thank you once again
Chris

The placename in 1861 and 1841 (and probably in 1851) is Ringinglow(e).

Burial at All Saints, Ecclesall:

SWIFT Mary Nowell             
buried: 8 Jan 1882   
address: Ecclesall, Alms Hill      
age: 78         

and this looks like her husband...

SWIFT William
buried: 30 Apr 1867
address: Ringinglowe
age: 59

This church has a very large graveyard and they offer a search service (at a price for any but the basic details already listed above):

This may be Mary in 1871, with the enumerator possibly hearing 'Bretton' as 'Burton':
