Help needed to understand a birth entry!!

[Luzzu]

I think George and Ann Smallshaw were in Salford in 1851 (at Robinson Court, 2 Queen Street) and had just had a baby -  Susannah Smallshaw Mar 1851 Manchester 20 605.

Doesn't help the original query but I thought the Salford location might help find Ann in 1841.

Laura,

What censuses have you found Ann Greenhalgh/Tute/Smallshaw on? 

I could only find her in 1851 [transcript only - findmypast playing up] when her age is shown as 23 and in 1861 when her age is shown as 33 and her birthplace as Chorlton-cum-Hardy.

Hi Everyone,

Sorry for taking my time getting back to you with this but here goes:

Through the Census' i believe Ann was born in Chorlton Cum Hardy in 1826ish!!

I have the information that Ann Married George Smallshaw in 1850,

In 1851 Ann is living in Salford at 2 Robinson, Queen St, Manchester, with George and daughter Susannah.

In 1861 they are living at 19 Foster St in Hulme with their children Susannah, George, Samuel, William and Ann

In1871 they are at the same address but now have another son Aaron

I can also see her on 1881 and 1891 Census with George dying in 1884.

I am stumped as to where to go now!! I will def be having a look at that Baptism record though!!

Thanks for looking for me, i really appreciate it!!

Hi Laura

You really need to look at, or see if someone can access, the marriage certificate as has been suggested in other posts. This should tell you her fathers name and occupation, and also whether she was a widow or not.

One possibility is that Greenhalgh is her mothers surname and Tute is the surname of her reputed father. I have come across a few examples in Scotland in particular were a person has adopted their reputed fathers surname.

Hi Laura,

I agree with Andy - I think your next move must be to either order a copy of the 1850 marriage certificate or try to see the record at Manchester library as this will confirm her status at the time of the marriage and also the name of her father.
