William and Annie E Brearley (Batley)

[juneandalansugden]

I am looking for the maiden name of my great grandmother Annie E Brearley.
She was born  around 1850 in Batley and after her marriage lived in Belvedere Road, Batley.

Do you have their marriage certificate?  I can only see one possible marriage but it does not tally with the 1881 Census.  Their son Fred was born around 1874/75

1881 Census
RG11 / 4545 / 137 / 46
Belvedere Road, Batley

possible marriage

William Henry Brearley / Annie Jowett
March 1879 / Dewsbury

There is no birth on Freebmd for a Jowett around 1850.  Will re-check for you.

Your best bet is to get the birth certificate for one of the children.  As there are a few Fred's and Walter's born Dewbury, I would get the certificate for the daughter.  This will give the mother's maiden name.

Hi dee melody

Thank you for your replies.  No I do not have the marriage certificate, but I will
do as you say and get the birth certificate for the daughter Ada, who is my grandmother.

HI


I think I can say for certain that Ada's parents are

William Henry Brearly and Hannah Akeroyd

Whose marriage was registerd in the June quarter of 1873 Dewsbury.


The clue was that in the 1881 census they had a visitor who was a young lady called Clara Akeroyd


then in the 1891 census Annie E is shown as Hannah E


The to double check on the 1871 census both Hannah and Clara are visible.
