Question re the Newall family of Littleborough

[EddieK]

So, i'm trying to find some info of the children of the couple below. A person i know says they had 11 children but i can officially only find 10.

Henry Newall and Maria married in 1852

On the 1871 census i could find

Sybil Newall (queenie) olympic archery champion 1908 born 1854-1929
Hannah F    Daughter   F   10   
Margaret F   Daughter   F   5   
Helen M F    Daughter   F   3   
Emily F    Daughter   F   1

on the 1881 census i found

Lawrence R or K    Son           M    24   
John F Newall   Son           M    22   
Maria F Newall   Daughter   F   8   
Victoria F Newall   Daughter   F   6   

According to the manchester courier they had a daughter born in 1874 who doesnt seem to be on the census

Also found a Henry G but i have no idea of his birth

Any help would be much appreciated.

Now need to find out about the one born in 1874 all i have to go on is this from the Manchester Courier

On the 24th, Maria, the wife of Henry Newall, Hare Hill, Littleboro', of a daughter. .(from 25th of May 1874)

Sorry I have just typed out a long reply and it has disappeared!

In short, Henry died 1886 and left a Will, he had a large estate. A copy of that could well name his surviving children.

If you want the Probate index entry, just ask and I will type it out again!

Sybil Fenton Newall and Maria Fenton Newall both died in 1929 - again probate index entries for both. Executor Margaret Fenton Newall.
All 3 girls still spinsters.

The one born 1874 is Victoria Fenton Newall - birth obviously not included in the June quarter as registered Sept.qtr.1874.

Looks like their first child was a Maria, who probably died as they reused the name later.

1861
Hare Hill
Henry Newall 45 married Woollen merchant? Employing 61 hands bn Rochdale
Maria 29 wife bn Rochdale
Maria dtr 1 mth bn Rochdale
numerous servants

And in 1861  6 yr old Sybil (indexed Lybel) is with her grandparents, along with a 4 yr old Kippax and 2 year old John F
