This is based on the baptism details of a probable daughter of Susannah's. Tong PR:- Martha Ann daughter of Edwin & Susannah TETLEY of Tong Street (Labourer) born 15th March 1875 baptized 4th June 1882 page 130 No 1034 Certainly Susannah (nee Haley) had a daughter of the right anme and age in the 1881 census, and was living in the Haley family home. However, Edwin was missing in 1881 (although Susannah was recorded as 'married'). It would seem that Edwin was already dead by 1901, but presumably only in the preceding three years, if they had a daughter aged 2 in the 1901 census. Incidentally, Christiana was 19 in 1881, so should be 39, not 59, in 1901. Its nice that she's living with Susannah, because it links the 1881 and 1901 census entries, nicely together. A further thought occurs to me;. Edwin and Susannah's first child, Martha Ann, died in 1898 aged 23. This could have been coincident with the birth of Bertha! I wonder if Martha Ann was actually Bertha's mother and died from childbirth complications? Certainly, Bertha would have been a late baby for Susannah! It might mean that Edwin's death could have been much earlier than 1897 or 1898. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > > Joseph TETLEY Head Married 57 years Wool Warehouseman Bradford 50 Holme Lane RG 13/4174 10 72 > Margaret TETLEY Wife Married 58 years > Bradford 50 Holme Lane RG 13/4174 10 72 > Abraham HOPKINSON Father-in-Law Widower 85 years Retired Warp Dresser Bradford 50 Holme Lane RG 13/4174 10 72 Joseph (1843-) was the son of Emmanuel Tetley and Grace (nee Collinson). They had one child, that I'm aware of, Emma in 1870. > > Catherine TETLEY Head Widow 76 years > Pluton 65 Holme Lane RG 13/4174 10 73 Catherine was the wife of Benjamin Tetley in 1881. The marriage entry shows that she was a widow, when she married Benjamin. PR: Benjamin Tetley 30yrs bachelor (Comber) of Bierley (could be Bowling) (Father John Tetley (Overlooker)) married Catherine Smith 33yrs widow of Bowlin (Father John Helm (Corn Miller)) on 11th October 1858 page 173 No 345. > > Benjamin FIELD Head Widower 60 years Wool Sorter Dudley Hill 56 Cutler Heights RG 13/4174 11 85 > Robert TETLEY Son-in-Law Married 43 years Wool Stapler Dudley Hill 56 Cutler Heights RG 13/4174 11 85 > Mary TETLEY Daughter Married 34 years > Dudley Hill 56 Cutler Heights RG 13/4174 11 85 > Elizabeth TETLEY G/daughter Single 14 years > Dudley Hill 56 Cutler Heights RG 13/4174 11 85 > E.B TETLEY G/son Single 12 years > Dudley Hill 56 Cutler Heights RG 13/4174 11 85 > Elsie TETLEY G/daughter Single 10 years > Dudley Hill 56 Cutler Heights RG 13/4174 11 85 > Mabel TETLEY G/daughter Single 8 years > Dudley Hill 56 Cutler Heights RG 13/4174 11 85 These kids are all new to the database, of course. > George TETLEY Head Married 55 years Wool Washer Tong 115 Cutler Heights RG 13/4174 11 93 > Hannah TETLEY Wife Married 60 years Eccleshill 115 Cutler Heights RG 13/4174 11 93 If this is the George that I think it is, he was unmarried in 1881. There is an entry in Freebmd for the June quarter of 1881, for a marriage between Hannah Thornton, and George Tetley. I'm guessing that this is the marriage of this George and Hannah. > Arthur Tetley Head Married 30 years Life Insurance Agent Bradford 15 Vine Street RG 13/4174 11 93 > Ann e.

Ann is probably Anne Elizabeth Onions. Cheers Rich (in Notts) -- Born in Sheffield, but currently in Nottingham UK.
