Mary Ann Lingard

[jeanie68]

Hello

Hope you can help. Mary Ann Lingard born 1833 to Anthony Lingard and Hannah Wardle. Baptised 1837 Collegiate Manchester. I think I have her on the 1851 census as a General Servant to Henry and Jane Litchfield in Cheetham Manchester. I have checked Lancashire BMD and there is an entry of marriage in 1853 of Mary A Lingard and Thomas Bushall at St Thomas Church Pendleton, this would fit as St Thomas' seems to be the church the Lingards were baptised and married in. I can find nothing after this point.

Any help much appreciated

Jeanie, I have to rush off now - but have you tried searching for Bushell ?

Kind regards,

Pels.

Hi Pels

I have and it brings up a couple in Liverpool, Mary Bushell's birthplace is given as Broad Green which cant be right

Hi again Jeanie,

Well, I'm hopeless because I can't come up with anything either and it's not for the want of trying.
I've pointed your thread in the direction of a couple of other people who might not have noticed it.

Fingers crossed ! 

Pels.

Hello Jeanie,

The 1841 shows that Mary Ann was 4 years old so born between 1836/7.

This is one to keep on the backburner as I think she may have married a John Gerrard at St. Mary`s, Eccles in 1860, but unfortunately the full record is not online.  I would suggest checking www.lan-opc.org.uk from time to time as it is updated regularly.  I have looked at the 1861 - 1901 census and it shows she was born Pendleton.  Her age did vary though  - 22, 32, 43, 55 and 64  .  They lived in Bedford, Leigh and all children are shown with the mothers maiden name of Lingard on www.lancashirebmd.org.uk .

Kind regards,
Mo

Thanks Mo, I think I'm going to have to bite the bullet and order the Bushell marriage certicate and see where it takes me

Worth bearing in mind that her sister Sarah also married at St. Mary the Virgin, Eccles in 1855 and two of Anthony`s children appear to be buried at the same church.
