Thread: Elijah Kennerley.

Hi.



I'm looking for the parents of Elijah Kennerley born in 1861

in Dukinfield Tameside. and any sibblings Elijah may have had.



Elijah married Jane Wain in 1885 and they had 2 sons named Herbert and Joe born in MacClesfield Cheshire in 1887 and 1888 respectively. Not sure if they had anymore children.



Thanks.

OMG. I'm not sure how he'd take that . being classed as a mother

Sounds a bit like Mrs Doubtfire

Thanks slizzy

Hi Pauline, I should have explained more clearly, sorry.

Elijah isn't on the 1891 census above, he would have been married then and living with his wife and children. The mistranscription I was referring to was Dean transcribed as DRAN.



Back to looking for Elijah's parents.



The only Kennerley to a Mary Ann marriage in Macclesfield I've found is....



William Kennerley, on same page Mary Ann Gould. Macclesfield 2nd qrt. 1856.



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



Or there's this one in Ashton ........



Joseph Kennerley and on same page Mary Ann Adams. Ashton, 4th qrt. 1860.

Hi slizzy.



As Elijah was born in Dukinfield I think your second match is more than likely to be his parents. So a big THANKYOU for that info slizzy

But Oh Dear!



Seeing that their surname was mistranscribed as Dean the only one I could find was a Joseph Dean married to Mary Ann Kennerley... Geeze It certainly gets me confused with my ancestors...even my dear old mum confuses me at times





Once again thank you slizzy.

Hi Pauline,



I think Elijah's father died sometime between 1864-69, and Mary Ann later married Joseph Dean. I'll take a look for a marriage record.



Found it Pauline



Joseph Dean and on same page Mary A. Kennerley.........



March 1866 Macclesfield vol 8a page 153.



Another thing to consider is...... Mary Ann was born Kennerley, and Elijah was illigitimate.
