Mary Ellen Jackson aka Rogers

[Paul Jackson]

I've never had any luck finding my great aunt Mary Ellen Jackson. She was born in Hulme Manchester on 15th June 1863 she was registered as  Mary Ellen Jackson (first name) Rogers (surname). Her father was Edward Jackson, her siblings called themselves Jackson in later life! The last info I have is the 1871 census, after that zilch! I have spent hundreds on birth, death and marriage certificates to no avail.
Can anyone suggest where I should look now?
Thank you
Paul

The 1871 census....can you identify this family please....names, ages in the household.......address.

Where does Mary Ellen appear in the family..........birth order?

"...her siblings called themselves Jackson in later life!"  What family name did they have at birth?

Have you accounted for her parents and siblings, and Mary Ellen is the only one left to find?

It helps if you post a link or further details of the census.
I couldn't quite work out the Rogers/Jackson - but that’s just me, maybe

Is that mother, Mary Ann married to James Kenyon at 1881  3929/95/26 but no Mary Ellen?

If you have ‘spent hundreds in birth, death and marriage certificates’, it is difficult to help as we might be repeating information you have already discarded.

2 marriages in 1881
1 marriage for  in 1890

Mary Ellen Jackson
Marriage 1884

Did you check these?

Heywood
checked those marriages on Lan-opc - you can rule out 1881 marriages - no Edward as father
1884 and 1887 and 1890 are not on Lan-opc

Thanks Garstonite.
I have seen parish records for one, I think which isn’t her either.
It would be good to know where Paul has searched.

not sure if I am reading it right - but Mary Ellen Jackson Rogers - MMN Rogers - do we take it ALL the children were Baptised Rogers - but were known as Jackson ??  maybe Edward Jackson was married and couldn't get divorced ??  need more info
