Saint Margarets Parish Registers - HOOLEY*COMPLETED*

[lmorrow40]

Hi 

I am hoping that I could please get a look up of the Saint Margaret Parish Records?  I am looking for

1. Marriage and Death of William Hooley and Mary Hooley, possible maiden name Madden? I think that William and Mary may have died between 1841 and 1851 as I haven't been able to find them on the next census and Isaac and Henry weren't living with their parents.  It seems that all four children immigrated to Australia between the late 1840's and mid 1850's,

2. and Baptism or Death records of any children of this marriage.

Listed on the 1841 census are William (app age 44), Mary (app age 42), William (app age 18), Elizabeth (app age 12), Isaac (app age 5) and Henry (app age 10mths).

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in anticipation.

Hi Victor

Thanks for the welcome and very quick reply!

I think this is my William as the age matchs but am surprised by the spelling (this is the first Hooley I have come across with a different spelling!).

I am unsure about Mary as her age doesnt fit, my Mary if the census is right was born around 1801.  And if this is her where was she in 1851?  I am going to start looking at workhouses/hospitals?

I have no knowledge about these registers, could you advise? Do they contain any further information ie. are these two buried in the same plot?

Thanks again for your fabulous and quick reply

Kind Regards

Louise

I would think that William & Mary lay together in rest……
Seeing they were close in dates

But this Cemetery is small and with over 22,000 interments.
The headstones were all dug up and laid along the walls of the Church
So as to make mowing easier. …… 


Hope this is of help to you.
