hello Erin.

Yes the family came from Tipperary.

Anne was the daughter of John Devereux and Elizabeth Evans (nee Rees) - unable to trace her as there are so many with the same name and can't find the marriage details (yet!). John was the son of John Devereux and Hannah Reardon (There may also have been a daughter Susan?) Papa John died ( I think) when he was 21 and Hannah married Evan Morgan. As far as I can trace and I am still very foggy on this Papa John was the son of Francis Devereux and grandson of Ellen Devereux from Tipperary. Ellen had more sons but it is difficult to locate them as the name varies so much on the census returns.
Let me know if this ties in with anything you have.

WOW !!!!!!!!
THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH.

I have only a brief sketchy outline of this family - and now so much more to go on with.

I shall get birth certificates and hopefully can add another generation to the family tree.

Again, thank you all SO MUCH I am really delighted.

Hello Keith,
As small an area as it is I can't see a direct relationship between your family and mine. Obviously there may be unaccounted for brothers.... I do have a William Hackney, he was born in Marton Cheshire in the early1800's or even late 1790's, not verified at all and supposed to have died in KNutsford jail, after fathering two sons, one who disappeared with the alleged family fortune - well his mother's family fortune apparently and the other George, my gggrandfather ( Marton 1830-1876). It would make your  WIlliam about the right age. George's brother's name was not known. But not uncommon to be named after your father ? You don't happen to be hiding the family fortune do you?!!

If I come across another Willaim Hackney I shall tell you first.

Yes.......
George Hackney b 1866 m1890 Charlotte Thornton b.1869
had about 13 children of which my grandmother was Mary b1893.
Charlotte was the daughter of Henry Thornton b 1839 - wife name unknown.

George Hackney b. 1830 in Marton Cheshire m. Mary Holland b. 1838 of Tunstall ( would like to find her parents) . Had 4 or 5 children. Would like to trace their son Henry. Parents of the above George.

Mary Holland was a beerseller at The Plough Inn ( where?)

anything you could help with would be great.

I'm trying to trace members of the Hackney family from the Tunstall area of Stoke, also the Thorntons of Silverdale.

Thank you Berlin-Bob.
I didn't expect to get  replies so quickly !

I believe we had relations in Swansea, but alas no more than that, it seems that path over the hills was well worn.

A trip to the old home ( Treforrest) seems very likely and a walk up over the hills at the back of the old tech ( I used to collect bluebells for my nan there - she always smiled but apparently hated the things).

Many thanks for your time and interest

Thank you Joanne.
I don't know. All  members of the direct line to me are dead. Anne had a brother Frank who died with no issue. Anne is dead and there is no record of anyone else.
