An earlier marriage for Thomas? Accounting for Mary's grandparents named Williams.

Marriages Dec 1855 (>99%)

FOXLEY Thomas Nantwich 8a 383
WILLIAMS Sarah Nantwich 8a 383

Oops! That's another oops, it's just a year before the other marriage. Think we're getting 2 families mixed up. At least I am.

Researching:
Great grandmother Dorothy Bean nee Abbott (1858-1908)

That isn't the right one RG - it's the one Shirley has got herself confused with

We know the mother is Catherine because Mary SENIOR is living with her after her marriage

Well Margee, they had intended to marry in 1851, but something (or someone) must have prevented it

I think we're getting there, though...lol!

I would think........

that the child in 1861 is actually GREAT granddaughter to George Williams in view of his age

I wondered about that one too, Jacqueline but on Ancestry it also includes wife's father, James Clarke which doesn't match the Mary in 1861 living with her Williams grandparents.

shirley Report 9 Jun 2013 16:04

So sorry I am only just coming back on to the community. I really do appreciate the help you have all given me. If I am forgiven then I would much appreciate help with Mary Foxley who married William Senior in Chorlton on Medlock 1875. Their marriage cert. gives the following info. but I am finding it difficult to connect Mary to any census before 1881. After that date there is no problem.


Marriage: 25 July 1875
Place: All Saints Church, Chorlton on Medlock in County of Lancaster

William Senior 19 Bachelor Boilermaker Grosvenor Street F. Thomas Senior? Boilermaker
Mary Foxley 19 Spinster Grosvenor Street F. Thomas Foxley Labourer

Witness: George Platt and Jane Foxley

Hoping someone can help.

Chris :)

Aged 19 in 1875 she certainly wasn't born in 1860...more like 1855/6

I'm confused. You say that Mary married William Senior 1875 aged 19. Wouldn't that make her born 1856?
