Winifred Annie Dockney search
« on: Saturday 04 January 25 12:42 GMT (UK) »


I have found this woman on the 1911 and 1901 census but have failed to find her on the 1891 or previous census

I have found her previous name was Partland - but this is not her maiden name as she was widow on her marriage in 1892

her elder son is also given the name Dockney - though he was born in 1890, possibly he was the couples son or illegitimate?

Her date of death is 1930 and date of birth 1863/64

I have found her in the workhouse in 1901, 1902 and 1903 in Withington
I have found her on the 1901 census with her two sons and three lodgers in the property

Any pointers would be helpful please

Do those census entries give her full name as you have it there?
You mention she is in the workhouse in 1901  - was that later than the census?
Where was she living in 1901?
Do you have her children’s names?

  Hi

Her name seems to be recorded as Annie but mostly Winifred Annie Dockney

In 1911 her son is Wilfred John Dockney age 21 and a railway clerk and her other son Austin Henry Dockney aged 16 a warehouse clerk

1903 just Austin and Winifred are in the workhouse at Withington and she gives her birth year as 1862 and Roman Catholic


Mostly she puts born in Manchester but Im wondering if she came over from Ireland?
I can find the same three names on the electoral register for 1923 in Withington at Booth Avenue

Who does she name as her father on her 1892 marriage?
Who are the witnesses?

Have you checked out Winifred McParland, 8 yrs grandaughter, living sith McPartlands in 1871 4047/17/30 in Manchester?

There is a birth here:

Manchester 1862 June quarter
Winefred McPartlin mmn MacNamee

Of course this may not be her. I just wonder if she called herself a widow because she already had a child.

The next bloke she was with was Henry TAYLOR and when he enlisted in 1917 he gave her surname as McPARTLAND.
