Could Ann Pennington (1758) and Nancy Broade / Bridge be the same person?

ADDED

Lancs OPC says Nancy died on the 25th! From the parish register, here. Which is it?

Thank you, It could be...Shame she died just before the census.

I've found a possible baptism record for Hannah Cartwright, 15th July 1710 in Rostherne. her father was Henry?

Yes, I think that seems very likely.

I see Nancy/ Ann was living in Edge Green, which was just a mile from her father Thomas Broad who was in Golborne.

[Neale1961]

..... but I wonder if he moved from Rostherne because he was running away from women, after reading what Jonwarm has just posted

More likely he moved somewhere he could lease land and start farming.
His father Thomas, and possibly great-grandfather Joseph, seem to have been husbandmen (tenant farmers) at Rostherne Mere.

Yes, I would say that looks possible
The baptism says the father Henry Cartwright of Mere (Meir), and Hannah’s marriage record says she came from Mere.


Burial 7 Nov 1727 Rostherne
Henry Cartwright of Mere - labourer

I think Henry’s wife was named Christian. Her name appears on the baptisms of other children.
Christian Cartwright of Mere (widow) burial 3 Dec 1732.

Could not see a marriage for Henry and Christian.

Thank you both again.

There's a christening record on ancestry of Henry Cartwright 24th July 1688, in Rostherne, his father was Edward.
Makes him under 40 when he died, is this a possibility?

It's funny how things come back around... with Thomas and Joseph Broady being husbandmen in Rostherne!!
I did a YTS scheme at Home farm in Tatton Park in the early 80's and at the end i was awarded a City and Guilds in Husbandry!! The farm I worked on is literally right next to Rostherne!!!
P.S. I've never worked on a farm since, but still a coincidence that it was so close to where they lived and worked... I moved to Knutsford from Manchester in the mid 70's.
So Luke moved close to Huddersfield, from Ashton in Makerfield, then to Manchester, where generations of my family lived, then my gran moved to Knutsford and we followed!! Uncanny.
Although i have found other ancestors on the same grandmother's side, that moved from Lower Peover, Great Budworth and Antrobus, - which are all very close to Knutsford - to Manchester, back in the 19th century!!

There is also a Henry Cartwright baptised in 1678 Rostherne, son of Richard.
Difficult to know, which, if either, is correct.
If you can view the original record, to see their place of abode, it may help you decide.

The 1688 record says he's from Rostherne, I've not been able to see the 1678 record yet, hopefully that say's he was born in Mere
