Hi Christine My only suggestion would be that the priest or registrar was hard of hearing! There is a sad account of the death of Mary Ann's brother Stephen, aged 3 in the Bradford Observer of March 19th 1868, having been run over and killed the previous November by a cart in White Abbey Road. Michael Cahill gives evidence at the trial of the cart driver, stating that he is a labourer living in salt Pie Street, and that he had left the boy in the care of his sister, Mary Ann cahill aged 8 years. ________________________________ From: Christine Shelmerdine <cmshelmerdine@googlemail.com> To: WEST-RIDING@rootsweb.com Sent: Tuesday, 29 November 2011, 13:21 Subject: [WRY] Help please Can anyone shed any light on the above people.I have a Mary Ann Cahill being born to Hannah nee Read and Michael Cahill in 1860 in Bradford, Michael was a Hawker and was not living at the given address in 1861.  I cannot find any trace of this family on any census. I next have a Mary Ann Carr marrying a Fred Tetley claiming her father to be William On the 1881 census I then have Fred and Mary Ann living with Hannah Cahill, mother and mother-in-law. The Fred Tetley is the same person  as his age and profession remain the same throughout all following documentation. I have the birth certificate of Mary Ann Cahill, 1860  I have the marriage evidence of Fred Tetley and Mary Ann Carr 1879 (they started to have a family in 1880, 5 children in all , I have the birth certificate of my husbands grandmother born 1886 to Fred Tetley and Mary Ann Tetley formerly Cahill. Has anyone any suggestions to help to resolve this conundrum -- Christine Shelmerdine Some useful websites - FREECEN - http://www.freecen.org.uk/ FREEBMD - http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/ FREEREG - http://www.freereg.org.uk/ Want to know where a place in Yorkshire is - Try Genuki http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/YKS/ ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to WEST-RIDING-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
