Title: Mary Bartholomay of Bolton?
Post by: SapereAude on Wednesday 06 August 25 19:43 BST (UK)
Hi all, I am again coming for pointers about my elusive ggf's even more elusive ancestry ;)
I have come to a brick wall trying to find anything about my 5x ggm, Mary Bartholomay. I only have her marriage to Jonathan Hurst (1786-1850) in Leigh, Lancashire, England, on 19 Aug 1807 (FHL 1885651 p112) and the fact that she had a daughter, Mary Hurst (b. 24 Sep 1820 Deane, Lancashire, England-Dec 1861).
I would love to find out who her parents and further relatives were, I was intrigued by her maiden name :)
Thank you in advance,
SapereAude

Martha's baptism on FamilySearch - image 393
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:JQCM-1TL?lang=en

She married Joseph Farnworth in 1846
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:68LH-727B?lang=en

1871 census for Martha Farnworth has Mary Hurst in the household and shows her birth as Sheffield.

Wigton was in Harewood parish where the baptism registers do not seem to contain any Bart* surnames.

What is your source?
FindMyPast for Whiston has one Bartlemew 1783 without any forenames, plus two children of Jonas and Hannah: Grace 1780 and Rebecka 1789.  1787 fits in a gap.

Added: Whiston is much closer to Sheffield.
