I would like some help to identify Hettie who is living with Robert Clarke in 1921 in Rochdale, together with their daughter Elsie Clarke Hunt.
Census says Hettie Hunt,widow , age 38 years 3 months born Rochdale,cardroom hand out of work.
Elsie age 4 yrs 2 months born Heywood. Birth index says mothers maiden name Riley ,registered Elton ,Bury.
Robert Clarke born 5 Oct 1887 is my grandmas brother and has left his wife Ada.
I can't find Robert or Hettie in 1939 but Elsie is l think living at 92 Heywood St Bury and later marries Bernard Spring in 1940.
Thanks Sue

Just to note there's a George Hunt with mmn Riley born in Bury in 1915, but he looks to the the son of Nathan and Clara, who marry in 1906 and are still together in 1921

Thanks all . The census does say that Hettie was formerly  employed at Orama spinning mill in Whitworth so I suppose she could have been from somewhere in the Rossendale valley. Roberts also out of work. Bad times for cotton workers in 1920s.

Elsie is l think living at 92 Heywood St Bury and later marries Bernard Spring in 1940.

Her death entry gives birth year 1916 , 1939 register 1917.
Is this Elsie with her parents in 1939?

Elsie Spring Birth 27 12 1916
Death quarter 4
Death year 2002 Bury Lancashire

Lancashire OPC has this baptism for a Hettie Riley but it’s in Oldham

6 Aug 1884 St Mary Oldham Lancashire
Father Ned, occupation pavior mother Mary Ann, abode Shepherd Street

Have you found a Riley/Hunt marriage?

Hi Ladyhawk. Elsie's birth is registerd Jan/March 1917 so I assume the death birth date is correct.
I haven't found a Hunt Riley marriage on Lancs bmds or OPC.
Unfortunately I don't have the 1939 Elsie Hunt household details will buy it tomorrow. It apparently has no Hettie Hunt or Clarke's on it. I cant find Hettie or Robert Clarke by searching the 1939 register.
