Thread: Kershaw and Anderton

A wonderful idea !! My brickwall is a gr gr grandaunt for who I can not locate what happened to her.
Name: Phebe Ann Kershaw born May -June 1829 in Cheethan, Middleton, Manchester, Lancashire, England. Parents: George Kershaw and Elizabeth Creer Kershaw. Siblings: William Fitzwilliam Kershaw and 'maybe John George Kershaw and Catherine Kershaw (married name Nickolson)' - but those last two are not proven yet.
Phebe (Pheobe) Ann Kershaw married John Anderton on Feb. 3, 1850 at Cathedral of Manchester, Lancashire, England.
I'm not sure if they had children. Only names possible: Elizabeth Anderton born about 1853 in Ashton Near Preston, Rachel Anderton (also spelled Rachael) - born Oct. - Dec. 1846, James Anderton - born abt. 1855 and Anne Anderton - born abt. 1863.
I find maybe - John Anderton in 1871 census as a widower in Preston, Lancashire, Eng.
YET, maybe, Phebe Ann Anderton died on March 30, 1876 in Prestwich, Lancashire.**Written "Phoebe Ann" Vol 8d page 350.** Age 49. ** Phoebe Ann Anderton died 30 Mar 1876 buried at Philips Park Cemetery Manchester, Sec I Consecrated i 1554 (position 2).

John and Phebe Anderton in 1851 are in Hulme, Manchester.
But no clear listing for them in 1861, the 1871 census there was a John Anderton as a widower.
Was Phebe Ann Anderton in this location in 1871 -- Market Street - District Public workhouse hospital in Manchester, Eng. - listed about 44 years old, a widow? Had worked in a cotton mill?
Any assistance would be appreciated.

Phebe (Pheobe) Ann Kershaw married John Anderton on Feb. 3, 1850 at Cathedral of Manchester, Lancashire, England.

This is likely to be Phoebe A ANDERTON desc as Widow of Middleton Lancs about 5 miles form the city centre!

Workhouse Market Street Manchester RG10 4046 162 1, this would be appropriate for a burial in
1) Philips Park Cemetery
2) what appears to be a paupers grave
2) for living in the Hulme area of Manchester
