John Hoadley

[Gibby1968]

1818 was the first marriage followed by one in 1828 and 1838.  I have confirmation of these marriages from another website.

Well I have to disagree that you specified that you were looking for a death of a previous Mrs. Hannah Hoadley prior to his marriage to Sarah Spencer in 1828.

Anyhow we can now turn our thinking caps to this task.

If you read the post I clearly said I was trying to clarify the first marriage.

John and Sarah were widowed when they married.  The same applies when he married Hannah Crowther.  I am currently looking for the first husbands of these women which shouldn't be too difficult.

So -

John Hoadley was born 1784 - where?  He is the brother of William Hoadley - born when and where?

Gibby1968 - please don't get so "up tight". 

You gave us a lead to the first marriage, and we have confirmed that there is such a marriage between John Hoadley and Hannah Spivey in 1818 - not in Halifax, but in Kirkheaton, which is in Huddersfield and not too distant from Halifax.

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?

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

St James, Halifax:

8 May 1832 - Sarah, daughter of John and Sarah Hoadley of Halifax - Wood Turner - born 2 April 1829
8 May 1832 - Elizabeth daughter of John and Sarah Hoadley of Halifax - Wood Turner - born 5 March 1831

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.

So if this is the same Joan Hoadley as married Sarah Spencer in1828, there is a window between 1823 and 1828 in which to find Hannah (Spivey's) death.

So -

John Hoadley was born 1784 - where?  He is the brother of William Hoadley - born when and where?

John and William were born in Farnham, Yorkshire and were the sons of Thomas and Fanny Hoadley.

The family emigrated to the US in 1842.  John didn't arrive there until 1844.
