Title: Can anyone find Mary Ann in 1871 please?
Post by: Luzzu on Saturday 09 March 13 14:26 GMT (UK)
Hi,

Can anyone see Mary Ann Hague/Haigh in 1871 please?  She was widowed in 1866 and should have two sons with her - Edward born in 1861 and Reuben born in 1863, both in Manchester.  Mary Ann was born in Northwich, Cheshire.

Here last known address prior to the 1871 census was 44 Bridgewater Street (January 1867).

She married three times:-
to George Hague/Haigh in 1861;
to Thomas Boocock/Bowcock in 1875;
to Samuel Holland in 1877;

I have her in 1881 at 9 Dunn Street, Hulme and in 1891 at 32 Leinster Street Hulme, with her 3rd husband, Samuel.

Thank you.

Luzzu  :)

At her marriage to George Hague in 1861, Mary Ann Wilkinson was aged 24 - so born c1837

Hi Luzzu,

This one is possibly worth a second look:

73 Back Piccadilly, Manchester
James Hall, Head, Mar, 36, Railway Porter, Yorkshire Bradford
Mary Ann, Wife, Mar, 34, Cheshire Northwich
Edwin  ???, Son, 10, Manchester
Rubin, Son, 7, Manchester

I forgot to mention that it was a split household the other family were Phillips. One of their boarders was an unmarried James Wilkinson aged 38, Slater also born Northwich.  Did Mary Ann have a brother James or is this just a coincidence?

Hi Luzzu

You haven't got any Biggs Boococks in your family by any chance?

Hi,

Thanks everyone for helping.  That definitely looks like them at 73 Back Piccadilly.  Mary Ann did have a brother called James Wilkinson who was born in 1824.

Not sure about who James Hall might be because she married Thomas Boocock/Bowcock as Mary Ann Hague, widow  ???.

Luzzu  :D

I have only just begun to look at Thomas Boocock/Bowcock but his father was Benjamin and I think this is the marriage of his parents:-

Benjamin Boocock/Betsey Briggs
Manchester Cathedral
12 Jul 1830

Thomas was a widower when he married Mary Ann Hague.

He wasn't married to Mary Ann for very long.  They married on 22 Nov 1875 and he died 3rd qtr 1876 registered in the name of Bowcock (I think).

Hi mshrmh,

Oh gosh. Sorry.  I missed that post totally, possibly because of James Hall.  I should have looked more closely and then I would have seen James Wilkinson as well and got the link.

I thought I was after Bowcocks and they have turned into Briggs Boococks. Looks like the Briggs Boococks ended up in Toxteth after their dad, Thomas Briggs Boocock, died in the third quarter of 1876.

Mary Ann Boocock lost her husband Thomas just before  Samuel Holland lost his wife and two of his children. The following year Mary Ann married Samuel Holland. What a hard life. No time to grieve.

Now trying to find out a bit more about Thomas. Where and how he died.

Not to worry Luzzu - it just seemed familiar & I was sad enough to check - glad it's all come together one way or another as this lot seem to have led you on a merry dance!

Hey all,

I'm off the same family tree, just joining the party super late and replying to messages all over the internet :-)

I hadn't realised that Thomas Boocock remarried (I'm a descendant of his youngest daughter with his first wife, Elizabeth Briggs Boocock - I have a few photos of her as well).  Just to make a point about when the family arrived in Liverpool (although I am guessing you have already worked most of this out by now): they were in Birkenhead in 1867, in Liverpool in 1871 living in Nelson Street (Tom is listed as John but it is the same man), and their youngest son, James Briggs Boocock, was born in 1873. You see him turn up on the 1881 census living with his elder brother, Thomas Briggs Boocock junior.

I had no idea there was a second marriage for Thomas senior! THis line keeps on throwing up more interesting facts every time I look at it!

I hope that this reaches you all in a shorter time frame than it took me to find it :-)

Hi Gem,

Do you have any information about Thomas Boocock/Bowcock who married Mary Ann Haigh/Hague on 22 Nov 1875?  I believe he was the son of Benjamin Boocock and Betsey Briggs.  He wasn't married to Mary Ann for very long as he died 3rd qtr 1876.

Mary Ann was my 3 x great grandmother. She married George Haigh (my 3 x great grandfather) first and was widowed.  Then she married Thomas and was widowed again.  Her 3rd husband was Samuel Holland.

I haven't ordered Thomas' death certificate yet.  I have all three marriage certificates though.
