I have my Gt Grandmother's birth certificate, she was born in Woodnook cottage Wentworth in 1848.I have the trees for both her parents. John Richardson was born in 1822 in Belton Lincs and I have this tree back to 1633 in Belton. Ann Heptinstall was the mother and she was born in 1824 in Hickleton near Barnsley.I have this family tree back to 1681 the family came from the Silkstone ,Penistone area. Mary Ann was shown as Marianne Richardson on her Baptism registration 22feb 1846 at Wentworth father John Richardson ,Mother Ann(Family Search)John and Ann were married 18/08/1845 in Wath on Dearne. They had Mary Ann b 1845,Eleanor b 1853,Sevilla born 1847 all born Wentworth Then Henry b 1861 Doncaster and finally Kate b1864.I have photos of Woodnook cottage on the estate at Wentworth as I visited it with permission about 10years ago. My Grandmother was the youngest of 13 children born to Sevilla and her husband William Hargate. My Grandmother lived to be 102 and rarely spoke about her life as a child but I know she went back to Wentworth to see relatives as a child. The Hargates lived in Swinton and they had Shaw relatives in Swinton. Shaw is a very popular name in Swinton and it can get very complicated when researching who belongs to who. The 1851 census shows that Mary Ann is 5 and is staying in Hickleton as a visitor at the home of Robert and Mary Ball. These may have been relatives of her mother Ann. Sevilla is in Wentworth with John and Ann Richardson. By 1861 The Richardsons have moved minus Mary Ann to Clevland St Doncaster and by 1871 they are in High St Swinton with Kate daughter and William, Mary Ann's son.1881 shows John still in Swinton but Ann is visiting her brother Joseph at Wosborough.1891 they are at Fitzwilliam St Swinton with Edgar (grandson) son of Ellen and Harry (grandson)son of Mary Ann. By 1901 Ann is a widow and still living with Harry in Swinton. From Free BMD I note that all Mary Ann's children are named Coggin Richardson but I haven't found any marriage .On the 1871 census for Station St Swinton Mary Ann is shown as unmarried with Savilla daughter aged 4 and Harry son aged 1 mth she is a dressmaker. She is living next door to a William Shaw and Jane his wife. Now Jane was John Richardson's sister and came from Belton she first married a John Jenkinson and when he died she married William Shaw in 1863 and it is with him she is shown on the 1871 census she is Mary Ann's Aunt. Last bit of info that may be of interest in 1881 Sevilla Coggin your Ancestor is living with her aunt Kate Richardson in the house of John Charles Oddy as servants. He is a widow and a Stuff Merchant living at Blenheim Rd Manningham Bradford. Well I hope you can make Head or Tail of all this info. It has taken me many many years to gather all this info ,especially as most of these families seemed to have that many children. We always wondered where the name Sevilla came from(still no idea )but nice to see that it has been carried to other families. Please get in touch again if I can be of help. Best Wishes Margaret.
