Hello Judith, I've just been searching for Susey Holmes Hanson on the 1891 and 1881 censuses, but the only Susey I could find was married to a Joseph Hanson, Farmer, born Sowerby, Yorkshire in 1830. At her death she was aged 72, which would make the dob about right. Can you give me more information about this couple? The nearest graveyard to Lever Street would be St. Michael's, Great Lever. I have microfiche of this graveyard, but unfortunately in the process of moving house one of the glass plates in my reader was broken, so I am unable to use it. Bolton Archives might be able to help you, e-mail [email protected] Valerie On 30/01/2008, JUDITH KETTLEWELL <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hello List > > Just come over to this side of the Pennines in the hope that I can get > some advice.

Hello Valerie Many thanks for your reply and help. Susey was 75 years old when she died in Bolton. In 1881 she was living with her husband Samuel in North Bierley, Yorkshire. Samuel died in 1890. In 1891 she was still living in Yorkshire but had her married daughter, Mary Ann Hanson BROWN, and son in law, Smith BROWN, living with her. At sometime between 1891 and 1893 Susey and her daughter and son in law moved to Bolton. Her son in law, Smith BROWN, died in Bolton in 1893. In 1901 Susey, who was now blind, was still living with her daughter in Bolton in Lever Street aged 74 years. I have been in contact with Bolton Archives who were most helpful and searched the municipal cemeteries but said she couldn't be found there and that the most likely place to find her would be a church graveyard. Thank you for the info re St Michael's in Great Lever but what a shame about your reader. You can always bet that if something gets broken during a house move that it is not something that is easy to replace. Good luck.

Hi Judith, probably not relevant but there are a lot of Smith and Brown burials at St. Paul's Astley Bridge churchyard.Also whilst doing the marriages. for the same church,I have found a Samuel Hanson and Ann Gornall's marriage 10 th Sep 1870 ,Samuel's father was Joshua Hanson.Might not be the same family but thought I would mention it.You can access the burials on the OPC site.

Hello Jess Many thanks for your reply. My HANSON family were still in Yorkshire until between 1891 and 1893 and they were the first and only one to hop over the Pennines. Thank you for sending me the details of this other HANSON family but I don't think they are mine. Kind regards Judith
