Looking for Jessie Maria Kelly

[4587]

 Hello,

Looking for the birth of Jessie Maria Kelly. She married Samuel Tatton Hibbs on 2/10/1871 in Manchester and states her age as 23. Her father was William Kelly, a cooper. Various census info has her birth place as Lancashire, Liverpool and Manchester. Thanks.

Welcome to Rootchat.

I do not see a birth registration on https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/Login.asp, which you can search for free.

I note the 1881 census below, which might help others.

The 1861 census posted by Colin I believe had a father James. 

1851 has James & wife Maria with children including Jesse M 4.

Surname transcribed as Kersley for parents and Kewley for children.

Have you looked for a birth in Ireland?  She may have come to England as a small person and presumed that as her birthplace.

The Johnson witnesses seem to be at 20 Tuer Street, Chorlton on Medlock, in 1871.
In that census there is a Jesse M Kelly, 21, Seamstress, born Lancashire, lodging in Great Jackson Street, Gorton. Might be her?

No registration on GRO or freebmd, however it was not compulsory in England & Wales until
1 January 1875.
