Mary Blakey, Born 1834, Manchester Lancashire OR/And

If you can find either of them I would be very grateful.
Husbands John Blakey and John Masey. I regret I have no other details.
Thank you

Are these two seperate Mary's and John's ?
In 1852 there is a marriage of a John Blakey and also a John Massey. The John Blakey didn't marry a Mary but John Massey married a Mary E Bracegirdle in Manchester St John
-
In 1861 it looks like the above mentioned John & Mary are living London Road - Lancashire with daughter Edith, 7, and Mary Alice, 3. But this Mary was born Cheshire - Sale
-
There is also another Mary and John Massey living on London Road and that Mary too is from Cheshire
-
I found two marriages for John Blakey
One to a Mary Ingham in 1854 at Manchester Cathederal
One to a Mary Ann Tattersall in 1857 at Burnley Register Office
-
Thank you Drop Bear
As far as I am aware they are two separate Mary's ( Ingham) Married Man Cathedral 26 Aug 1854 John Blakey and 30 May 1855 John Massey. There is no mention that John Massey was her second husband so I assume they are separate but it would be nice to find Mary on the Census, perhaps she was missed by the enumerator plus any family!
Anyway thank you for trying I suspect I may not crack this one!
Kind regards
PK2
PS Thank you for the additional posts re John Massey, No my Mary is definitely born in Manchester or Chorlton on Medlock to be exact but thanks to you I can rule out John Massey and concentrate on John Blakely.
Thank you so much

Marriages for John Massey
Two in 1857 one to Mary Holland, one to Mary Jackson both in Manchester Cathederal
One in 1860 to Mary Wilkinson also in Manchester Cathederal

Dear Drop Bear
Thanks for the two later Massey marriages I rather think they are not the one you found in the 1861. That one looks to be right to me for a 1855 Marriage. I will concentrate on Blakey for a while and I really appreciate your help. One would think it would be relative easy to find an outcome for her, but she has been an enormous challenge.
Thank you again
Kind regards

Thank you so much Heather for the Baptisms and the 1861 Census that was extremely kind of you.
My Mary was definitely born in Manchester and its been a long struggle to find her correct spouse as both these two had listed the same named father's. Two others had differently named fathers and one turned out to be too young. However I found the marriage details and she did marry John Blakely. But possibly that's still as far as I can trace her from her marriage and between 1861-1881. I will keep at it for a while longer, but I do thank you and Drop Bear so much for helping me.
Thank you again,
Kind regards,

Dear Heather
A very big thank you and yes I am pretty sure that is my Mary and I am so happy that there was a good outcome for her as I was beginning to think that something awful had happened to her! I was a bit premature in saying this was Completed and apologies to Sarah! I would like any additional details if its not too much trouble. The address would be very interesting to me if its readable.
You know I have been trying to track her for ages and kept putting it in the too hard basket but in the space of a week, and thanks to you and Drop Bear I now have her and her family, so that is so wonderful. THANK YOU.
Kindest regards,
Pat
ps Heather I have also found her on the 1861 under this name Thank you again.

Dear Heather
Thank you so much for the Caton Street and its history in the War, also for the registrations and the marriage of Isabella. It was indexed also on Free Reg, but its nice to see the original so I will use Family Search as you suggested. Also for the 1871 additional details I was sorry to see young Ada working as a servant in the 1881 at the age of 11. I think I may have found a death reg. for her mother prior to this census, so that's probably why. So sad that she was put to work. Family history can be so reflective on the life and times of the era and it makes me feel for them. She should have been still playing with her dolls!
I have a lot of work to do to confirm this family's history and I really appreciate your input. So a big thank you for getting me started on the right track.
Kindest regards,
Pat
