Ernest Hesford is buried in Phillips Park Cemetery. A War grave by the looks of it. There are no  others in the same grave / plot.

On 2 June 1898 there was a serious train crash at Leyland, an excursion was returning from Blackpool.
One of the injured was Anne Burn 11 Willow Street Bradford.
No other names that I recognise.
Sheffield Daily Telegraph 4 June 1898

Ernest Hesford aged 19 of Chatham Street was on the same train, he injured his foot.

Could be the Ann Burn/s that married Ernest later in 1902. If so that is another connection, maybe she was looking after James McAndry/McAndrew after Honora/Ann nee Byrne died?

Added - not found James in 1901..possible death 1907..

Not too sure about Anne Broughton, but it does seem to be a private plot as it has a headstone.

Looks like Anne Broughton is sister Ann/Annie

1939 register has her as Anne Broughton with the Holland family birth 24 Oct 1881

Is she the first born baptism Joanna b 24 Oct 1880 reply #57 given by John.. But called Ann?

Catherine Holland has a birth of 26 June 1883  not 26 Jan 1883.  Possible error transcript in bapt register? written plainly in 1939

1939 - https://www.ancestry.co.uk/search/collections/61596/records/26905783

The Holland name is of definite interest to me. My dear old aunt Pauline Johnson, now 90, is convinced her mother, Catherine Cain treated a Florence Holland almost as a sister. She has no recollection of the actual relationship, but the fact that Hollands crop up in your reseach is interesting, as was the Broughton name.

You guys are really showing me how this is done, and it's going to take me a long time to sift through each of these posts!

If all correct and confirmed via certs Catherine Cain & Florence Holland were cousins. Reply # 71 explains the possible family Broughton connection
