Cheshire Completed Lookup Requests / Re: 1841/1851 lookup request: HINTON, Lymm

Well would you believe it
After a 4 year search for Ellens parents I found her marriage certificate recording her father as Thomas Hinton, only to discover a few weeks later to find she told a white lie on her marriage certificate !!!!

Ellen is the illegitimate daughter of Sophia Hinton and Joseph Marsland born in 1834  making Thomas Hinton her grandfather, this corresponds with the 51 census
 
Sophia married Peter Moores at Witton Cheshire in 1836 and settled in Over Cheshire.

Oh well no one said genealogy was going to be easy

Hi MR

The Ellen Hinton born in Lymm 1835 is definitely the daughter of Thomas Hinton, Ellen is my great grandmother x 2. I have, after a 4 year search just confirmed the connection.
she had a  illegitimate son Thomas born 1853 in Lymm. She next appears in Manchester in 1865 when she married Edmund Woodhall, she records her father as Thomas Hinton occupation joiner.
Her son Thomas married Elizabeth Hurst in Burnage Manchester 1877
Sadly  husband Edmund died in 1880 and Ellen spent the last 15 years of her life in the Cholton Union workhouse Manchester she died 26th Dec 1908, she recorded her creed as Wesleyan Methodist on her entry in to the workhouse.
