Find Ancestors

We can only work from the info you've given us, Tracy.

You didn't tell us you'd found Elizabeth's birth in Liverpool (at least I assume you mean Elizabeth Stockdale's birth?) - nor that James was in London.

He was apparently in Liverpool in 1814 for his daughter's baptism.

Please can you post the records you found?

I'm a bit confused on this thread but adding just in case it's relevant:

Name: Elizabeth Hooly

Baptism Date: 14 Aug 1814
Baptism Place: St Peter's Priory, Lancashire, England
Father: James Hooly

Born and privately baptised 28 June 1811
God parents: ? & Elizabeth Hooly

A possible sister:

Name: Ann Hooly
Birth Date: 26 Jul 1819
Baptism Date: 25 Dec 1819
Baptism Place: St Peter's Priory, Lancashire, England
Father: James Hooly

--------------------------

Did their mother remarry?

Marriage place Liverpool
Spouse's name(s) Michael Lancaster (Victualler)
Spouse's previous spouse's last name prev married

-----------------------------------------

Looks like she did remarry- living with daughter Ann in the same street as her daughter Elizabeth (Wingfield).

There was certainly an Elizabeth Stockdale christened in London, daughter of a Joseph and Frances - but do you know if she's the right one?

This is all too confusing.
Time I was in bed.

That doesn't feel like the right family to me, though.
Unless James was an army surgeon, it seems doubtful that he would later be a servant and then a Chelsea pensioner.

There was 20 yrs age difference between james and elizabeth Confusing is a good way of putting it lol thanks x

Tracy- I'm having trouble following the 'facts' you have.

I feel you are too easily dismissing the information I posted above.

You wrote:
"different one i think anne hooley her daughter born 1819 wrong age on census , and no early death record for james . mystery"

- Note that census ages cannot be taken as fact

- Just because you haven't found evidence of James death doesn't make them the incorrect people.
---------------------------------

In 1841 Elizabeth & Joseph Wingfield are living here in JONES STREET:

1841 England, Wales & Scotland Census Transcription
Jones Street, Toxteth Park, West Derby, Lancashire, England

Robert Thompson Male 30 1811 -
Mary Thompson Female 25 1816 -

Joseph Wingfield Male 20 1821 Lancashire, England

Phillis Wingfield Female 1 1840 Lancashire, England
----------------------------------------

Her mother, now remarried is living in the SAME street with daughter Ann

Elizabeth Lancaster Female 50 1791 Publican
William Lancaster Male 17 1824 sail maker Lancashire, England
Ann Hooley Female 20 1821 Lancashire, England
John Hughes Male 40 1801 Lancashire, England
----------------------------------------

Then in 1851 Elizabeth Lancaster is a visitor in the Thompson household- The SAME Thompson family that Elizabeth & Joseph Wingfield were living with/ next door to in 1841:

1851 England, Wales & Scotland Census Transcription
Lansdowne Street, Toxteth Park Extra Parochial, West Derby, Lancashire,

Robert Thompson Head Married Male 45 1806 Butcher Journeyman Newcastle on Tyne,

--------------------------

Sorry to repeat information.

So Elizabeth Wingfield (nee Hooly) didn't disappear- she remarried shortly before the 1851 census to William Gerry/ Jerry:

Name: Elizabeth Wingfield
[Elizabeth Woolley]
Gender: Female
Marriage Date: 19 Mar 1851
Marriage Place: Walton-On -The Hill, Lancashire, England
Father: James Woolley
Spouse: William Thomas Gerry
FHL Film Number: 2147881
Reference ID: item 3-10 p 61
-----------------------------------

Possibly her and WIlliam in 1851 (lodging with Jones family):

1851 England, Wales & Scotland Census Transcription
John Street, Toxteth Park Extra Parochial, West Derby, Lancashire, England

William Jerry Lodger - Male 40 1811 Mariner Kent, England
Elizabeth Jerry Lodger - Female 35 1816 Mariners Wife Liverpool, Lancashire
----------------------------

Elizabeth then marries again in 1854 to Alexander Moore:

name(s) Elizabeth Jerry
Age 46
Marriage year 1854
Marriage place Liverpool
Father's name(s) James Hooley (surgeon)
Spouse's name(s) Alexander Moore (shipwright)
Spouse's age 57
Spouse's birth year 1797
Spouse's father's name(s) James Moore (farmer)
Spouse's previous spouse's last name prev married
Residence Liverpool, Lancashire, England
County Lancashire

Well done, AQ - managing to make sense of it all!

So just to be clear, Tracy -
The couple living in Ardwick and Cheshire, with son Lawrence, are definitely NOT the right family.
The age of 90 for that James in 1851 is a mistake in transcription - he was actually 70. Wrong age, wrong occupation, wrong place.

AQ has listed all the ins and outs of the correct family.

what i have confirmed is elizabeth hooly born 1811 married joseph wingfield in 1838 her dad listed as james hooley surgeon his dad thomas wingfield spirit merchant. then james hooley married elizabeth stockdale james born 1760 elizabeth 1780.there mariage 1810 shows james as a surgeon
.

But where did you get the ages of Elizabeth Stockdale and James Hooley from?

EDIT: I suspect you are still looking at the wrong 1851 census. Did you see the information above?

James Hooley
Birth
27 Oct 1761
Baptism
15 Nov 1761 Saint Peter,Liverpool,Lancashire,England elizabeths maybe i got wrong abut the 1951 manchester census shows them 20 yrs apart but Argyl gran thinks its a misprint . but everything else fits and yeoman or remariage doesent as james was a surgeon

Tracy, I'm sorry, I think I'm going to leave this.

The James Hooley in Manchester in 1851 was born 1781 in Cheadle Cheshire- he was listed as a Chelsea pensioner. I don't see the connection?

I'm not sure you are understanding the information I've posted about James Hooly's wife, Elizabeth, possibly remarrying Michael Lancaster in 1821.

I'm finding it a little frustrating, but I'm not sure how to explain the information differently. Perhaps someone else will help, or you might look through the information again?.

Good luck with your research.

Thank you i agree confusing . as i see them both on census later not sure she remarried Austin . Thanks anyway
