Hannah Hackney b1823 Astbury

[hugatree]

Challenge for today! 

I have exhausted every source to which I have access to identify what happened to Hannah Hackney, daughter of John Hackney and Hannah Simons.  She is on familysearch as  baptised 16 May 1823 Astbury, Cheshire.   She is with the family on the 1841 census at Gibralter Rocks Astbury age 15.  There are lots of brothers and sisters who have been traced forward through the generations but poor Hannah is left alone and forlorn on the tree.   

Please could someone help me tie up this loose end,

Hannah Hackney married James Lea at Astbury St Mary in 1849

Thanks Heather, I did stumble across that one but blowed if I can find them on the 1851 census to prove it, and there are quite a lot of Hannah Hackneys around at that time.  But you have prodded me to go back to that one and look again.

All assistance very gratefully received

According to the 'buried in cheshire'  indexes there is a Hannah Hackney buried at Astbury in 1847. I don't know if she is right person you are looking for as there is no age listed.

woop woop, thank you all soooooo much! got me on the right track I'm sure.  Will keep you posted on progress, I'm sure it must be the right one though.

hmmm

The 1847 burial of Hannah Hackney is Hannah's mother (my ggg grandmother)

I have found a Hannah Lea visiting on her own in 1851 no sign of hubby or the two girls.  However I did find a Hannah Hancock daughter of Jabez & Martha Hancock and two children Jane and Mary of the right ages.  BUT I can't find a marriage of a Hannah Hancock to a John/James Lee to support this.  Ok didn't stretch the range far enough, have now found Hannah Hancock married to John Lee in 1853, so I think we can discount this version.  So just need to find Hannah & James Lee on the censuses

oh dear, not the person we hoped 

I've been sent this by a distant relative:

1849 - JAMES LEE - age 59 - Widower - Labourer –
       Of Somerford – Son of The Late James Lee (Labourer).
      HANNAH  HACKNEY - age 60 - Widow – of Congleton –
       Daughter of Thomas Davenport (Labourer).
       17th December 1849.
       At St Marys Church, Astbury, Cheshire.  Ref Page 22.
 
So we start again having discounted the census entries and the marriage entries:  emmigration perhaps?
