Hi My enigmatic Ann Horrocks who turns up in Wigan 1841 is starting to gather a family- I think, its all speculation but the pieces are coming together- if anyone is researching any HORROCKS I would be pleased to hear from you- to eliminate if nothing else. Ann married William MCMULLEN 1842. Her dad was John HORROCKS a crofter. By 1848 they were in Ince when their son John MCMULLEN died- the informant was Mary HORROCKS - Im thinking this was Anns mam. William HORROCKS (Anns brother I think) married Ellen STOREY 5 June 1842. Matthew HORROCKS (another brother?) married Catherine COMMACHEE 1Dec 1851. My Ann and William were witnesses. By now they were living at Primrose Hill Wigan. Matthew was soon widowed and married Mary Ann HITCHEN 12 Aug 1855 they and their kids stayed in Wigan- settling in Ince. John HORROCKS (another brother?) married Elizabeth ORMAND 1July 1858. Other HORROCKS siblings are possibly Elizabeth born circa 1833, Maria circa 1834 and Margaret circa 1837. Hope to hear something. carol
