Hannah Mahalath WILKINGS (WILKINS)

[IanOZ]

I have just discovered this "Extra" Grandmother. She first married John Cummings in Chorlton Lancashire in 1880. Later she married George Eardley in Stockport.

The 1881 census gives her birthplace as Cliveden abt 1862

Has anyone access to records that can tell me anything about her birth, baptism or parents?

Apart from the surname variation she sometimes dispensed with he first name and spelled her second name Mayhaylah or Mahaleth.

Thanks

Ianoz,

I am researching the Wilkings family for a friend & have Mahalath Wilkings in the line. I can go a generation back.  Do you need this info?

I don't have the info with me now but can get back to you next week.

Yes please.

Also if you have any idea when and where she died (as an Eardley) it would be appreciated.

Ianoz,

Here are details of family (known parts of course)

Father John Wilkings (Chr. 9 May 1825 St. Mary Magdalene, Taunton, Somerset, son of Samuel/Elizabeth) married Ann Wilkins 25 Oct 1852 at Taunton. (Ann Chr. 27 Nov 1825 West Monkton, Somerset, dau. of Charles Wilkins & Hannah nee Pring.
Children:
John William Wilkings born 10 Apr 1854 Mylor, Falmouth, Cornwall. Died 21 Jan 1927 Cardiff, Wales.
Mary Ann Wilkings born 1856 Devonport, Stoke Damerel, Devon.
Alfred Samuel Wilkings born 1858 Highbridge, Somerset.
Mayhaleth Wilkings (not know by name of Hannah) born 1862 Clevedon, Somerset in 1881 census; born Kenn, Somerset in 1891 census; born Taunton in 1871 census; born Cain Cornwall in 1901 census. (This is probably Kenn, Somerset). Take your pick.  I think it could be Kenn, Somerset.
Charles Henry Wilkings born 1 Jun 1864 Taunton. Died 19 Feb 1956 Los Angeles, California, USA.
Rose Ellen Wilkings born 1866/7 Taunton.  She was not know in the family but a Nellie Wilkings was.  I think this is her.

I have the marriages & children of some of the children.  Are you interested?

Do you have details of Mayhaleth's 2nd marriage?  This marriage was not known in the family here.

Many thanks.

Somehow I have mislaid the marriage details. I haven't got around
to re-subscribing to what was 1837.

However I can give you the volume/page which I had recorded elsewhere!  8a 267.  Stockport I think, and they were married in a Methodist Chapel  1919.

A the time of George Arthur Eardley's death 17/11/1922 they were living at 230 Manchester Road Stockport  The Death Certificate says Stockport Third sub district.

Since George's first wife died  28th November 1918 I understand his second marriage was not popular within the family.

I am 7 years the youngest of our family and not even the next above me knew of the marriage. Our mother never mentioned it !

The only information I really would like if ever you find it is where and when Mahaleth died and if she was buried in the Eardley "zone" Somewhere around Cheadle I believe but not been able to find the exact cemetery or churchyard yet.

Thanks
