The birth certificate for Eliza Hogan reads:

Date & Place of Birth: 10th September 1866, 15 Enville Street, Ashton Under Lyne
Name: Eliza Hogan, female         
Father: Patrick Hogan
Mother: Mary Ann Hogan nee Daley   
Father’s Occupation: Shoemaker
Informant: Mary Ann Hogan, Mother, Union Workhouse, Ashton Under Lyne
Reported on: 17th October 1866

Thank you everyone!

Looking through this again (away from all of the excitement of the find) I realise that the birth certificate, rather than proving my link, actually disproves it. The occupation fits with the wedding certificate mentioned in the original post is correct but the same wedding certificate states that my Elizabeth Hogan's father is called Thomas and not Patrick.

I know you've all worked really hard on all of this and I really appreciate that. It looks like it must be a different family that I'm looking for. Esp confusing is the Lynch connection for the baptism of Elizabeth's daughter.

Thank you, Luke

Thank you all, this is very fascinating stuff. I have ordered the wedding certificate for Mark and Elizabeth in the hope it sheds some light.

I have to admit to still being confused by the Hogan connection - could it be (& please forgive me if I've completely missed it) that Mary Ann Lynch adopted the name after her mother remarried but was originally called Hogan?

Thanks, Luke

Hi everyone,

I have been looking at the Dale branch of my family tree and wondered if anyone could help me at all with Elizabeth Hogan.

The earliest record I have for her is a marriage record from 11th July 1885. She was recorded as being aged 22 at the time and living at 25 Water Street in Bolton. Her father is listed on the certificate as Thomas Hogan a deceased shoe maker. She married Mark Dale, a 21 year old bachelor living at 21 Water Street. The witnesses were Nathanial & Sarah Fletcher - I have no idea who they were.

I have all the census results for the family after their marriage when they moved to Oldham, but no mention of any Hogan's anywhere else down the line. I have nothing else on the Hogan family so anything at all would be great.

Thanks, Luke

Thank you amondg,

this is a great help!
