Hi Miranda

can you tell us roughly when and where they married please

Hi Miranda and welcome to the boards

It would be very much appreciated if you could give details on where you found the marriage as nothing turning up on freebmd.

im not 100 % sure if they married but they had children together..

all i know is she was from killdare ireland

she had two children with the surname hynan

john thomas hynan 1878-1968
sarah i hynan 1879

she was also with a william woolley who she had more children with im guessing she married him as same surname...

Were the children also born in Ireland?

no manchester

for ref

Births Mar 1879
Hynan Sarah Jane Prestwich 8d 404

not seeing a birth for John?

BUT NOTE Father is WILLIAM

Miranda, who were the children she had with William Woolley and when/where were they born?

Sarah jane
or sarah jones hynan?

or was jones her maiden name?

Sarah Jane Hynan , born Prestwich is the only birth I can see for that date Miranda?

I dont know place of birth..

children are hannah woolley 1883
elizabeth a wooley 1885
clara woolley 1887

On the 1901 marriage posted above Sarah Jane Hynan's address is 28 Margaret Street, this is who was there when the census was taken on 31 March 1901:

HYLAND, Ann Head Widow F 39 1862 Washer In Laundry Ireland Kings County
HYLAND, Mary Daughter Single F 22 1879 Ironer Laundry Ireland Kings County
SANKEY, Charles Adopted Single M 8 1893 Harrogate, Yorkshire

Sub District: Ardwick Enumeration

Parish: Higher Openshaw St Clements

Address: 28, Margaret Street, South Manchester County: Lancashire

Miranda, if she had the Woolley children in the 1880s but had the children with John Hynan in the 1870s the her maiden name is going to be something else altogether.

I have a suspicion that things aren't adding up here.
