John Hoadley

[Gibby1968]

John married Hannah Crowther (a widow at the time of the marriage, maiden name is Beach) on 6 December 1838 again in Halifax.

John and Hannah (Beach/Crowther) had one son and one daughter. 

Ann was born in 1823 and died in 1912 in the US.  John was born in 1821 and died the following year in Halifax.  Hannah died in the same place in 1827.

I am trying to understand this family. You say that John & Hannah Crowther married in 1838. But that their children were born in 1823 and 1821?

Surely the John born in 1821 was the son of the marriage between John Hoadley and Hannah Spivey?

There also appears to have been a daughter, Frances, born 1819?

This John Hoadley, father of Frances and John, was a woodturner. Does that tie in with the occupation of the John Hoadley who married Sarah Spencer and then Hannah Crowther?

John was a woodturner.

Children as follows;

John and Sarah had Sarah in 1829 and Elizabeth in 1831
John and Hannah Spivey had Ann in 1823 and Mary in 1825
John and Hannah Crowther had John in 1821 (died 1822) and Ann in 1823.  She died in 1912 and one of the children to travel with her father to the US.

[Gibby1968]

Just to clarify as there seems to be some confusion;

There were two ladies called Hannah and one Sarah.

One Hannah was a widow when she married John and so was Sarah.

John and Hannah Crowther had John in 1821 (died 1822) and Ann in 1823.  She died in 1912 and one of the children to travel with her father to the US.

So I repeat what I said earlier: John married Hannah Crowther in 1838, but according to what you’ve said their children were born in 1821 and 1823?

there seems to be some confusion

I have to agree.

Ann was born in 1823 and died in 1912 in the US.  John was born in 1821 and died the following year in Halifax.  Hannah died in the same place in 1827.

Who is this Hannah who died in 1827?

[Gibby1968]

Obviously the children born in the 1820's belonged to the other Hannah.

Hannah Spivey perhaps?

All I know is that one Hannah and Sarah died before John travelled to the US in 1844.  I don't yet know what happened to the second Hannah but I do know that the children and John did not travel with anyone called Hannah.

I have picture of John's gravestone in Ohio but it is too badly worn to read.  In the same graveyard are his daughters Ann and Sarah.

I am still working on this family and I hope at some stage things will become clearer.

Is this the family in 1841 - HO107/1300/7 folio 49 page 26 - Gibbet Street, Halifax

Hannah - 50
William Spencer - 15
Ann Hoadley - 15
Sarah Hoadley - 12
Elizabeth Hoadley - 16     All born in county

Obviously the children born in the 1820's belonged to the other Hannah.

Hannah Spivey perhaps?

Ann certainly did, as I pointed out in reply #16

OK - baptisms at St John, Halifax:

8 August 1819 - Frances, daughter of John and Hannah Hoadley - Halifax - Wood Turner
3 June 1821 - John, son of John and Hannah Hoadley - Halifax - Wood Turner

Add to that Ann daughter of John Hoadley and Hannah Spivey, born June 1823, baptised at Methodist New Connection, Halifax in July 1823.

[Gibby1968]

Yes, I think that's them, thanks.

I was just about to start looking for more information on the family.

[Gibby1968]

Thanks Jen.

I have all that information and I was just about to go see if I could find each wife's death and burial.

Back in a bit.

[JenB]

  Hannah died in the same place in 1827.

I can’t find this death/ burial in 1827.

Can you say exactly what information you have ? Do you know her age?
