[Rowan Tree]

What was the father's occupation? Fruit something?

Father's occupation is Fruit Planter

Manchester Prison records list her husband as John, 23 Cross Street, Oldham. She had one child living. Her birthplace "on the sea". Religion RC.

23 Cross Street doesn't appear to be listed in the 1871 census.

If she was born at sea maybe her father was a mariner at the time or foreign, hence the possible name beginning DE something..


In my town which used to be a busy port, many children I taught had Portuguese fathers who sailed in regularly on the cargo boats. Some settled here.

If it is Delmar, that means "of the sea" !

Perhaps this is the child:

SUTCLIFFE, AMY  ISADORE  mmn ROTHWELL 
GRO Reference: 1863  J Quarter in CHORLTON  Volume 08C  Page 682

Cant find her  in 1871 but in 1881 is with a Bolton or Belton Family from memory.

EDIT down as adopted daughter.

There's also this baptism in Eccles in 1864:

Amy Wilson Sutcliffe daughter of John (a mariner) and Amy. Born 14 May 1863

This is incredibly helpful. Thank you! 

I've wanted to be able to pin Amy's first husband down for awhile now.
