Hi,
Can anyone help me find out what happened to Mary Hanly/Hindley after 1861 please?
She was born in Middlewich, Cheshire around 1821, to Charles, a boatman and Martha Proudlove
She married Timothy HANLY in Manchester (Prestwich) in 1839:
Timothy HANLY, full age, bachelor, carter, Hollinwood, Edward Hanly, boat man
Mary Proudlove, minor, spinster, no listed occupation, Hollinwood, Charles Proudlove, boat man
Witnesses: Margaret Snake, Bartholomew Dancer
Haven’t found any results for them in 1841 census, but I think they probably would’ve been in Manchester, but not sure. The Proudlove family were travellers, but I haven’t been able to trace much about the Hanly’s before this, but given Timothy’s father was a boatman as well, I’d imagine they were also travellers, but I don’t think Timothy and his wife were, at least after they married.
1851 census: Sutton, Lancashire
Timothy Hanly, head, married, 36, labourer born Ireland, not known
Mary Hanly, wife, married, 30, born Cheshire, Middlewich
Ann do, daughter, 4, born Manchester
Edward do, son, 10, born Manchester
Charles do, son, 7, born Manchester
Timothy do, son, 4 months, born Sutton
Ann do, mother, widow, 60, born Ireland not known.
There is another Hanly family down the street from them, also with a child named Timothy, that gives birth location as Roscommon
1861 census: Appleton Street, Sutton
Timothy Hanley, head, married, 45, bricklayers labourer, born Ireland
Mary do, wife, married, 39, born Cheshire, Middlewich
Charles do, son, unmarried, 17, brick carrier, born St. Helens
Ann do, daughter, 14, brick carrier, born St. Helens
Mary do, daughter, 8, scholar, born St. Helens
Martha do, daughter, born St. Helens
Some time between 1861 and 1864, they move to Liverpool and change their surname to Hindley.
In 1864, their son Charles gets married there:
Charles Hindley, minor, bachelor, bricklayer, Trowbridge street, Timothy Hindley, labourer
Mary Ellen Mercer, minor, spinster, no listed occ, Trowbridge street, James Mercer, carver and gilder
Witnesses: John and Catherine Dixon
The only death I can find for Timothy’s mother, Ann, is in Liverpool in November 1864. Haven’t found anything else that fits for her, can anyone help with this too? Haven’t found an 1861 census return for her, a few widows in Manchester could be her, but would have no way of definitely proving one of them were her.
Ann Hanly (perhaps the name change was fluid?) Buried Ford Cemetery, 25 November 1864, of 2 Court Midghall Street, age 70 years
Timothy died in Liverpool in 1870 and was buried in Anfield (in R.C section)
Buried 9 July 1870, Timothy Hindley, 55 years, labourer, 3 Court Shimmin Street.
Haven’t been able to pinpoint a death for his wife Mary, or a 1871 census record, or later, if she was still alive. Could anyone help with this? Could anyone also help to see if the 1864 death for Ann is correct?
Thanks for any assistance.
