Hello

Yes I have looked on freeBMD but cannot find the marriage.

The 1881 census is his son and family from first marriage.

Thank you for your help.

Shirley

Perhaps if you expanded on your request:

Joseph Medley c1807 Oldham first wife Betty on 1841 census, seen with wife Hannah nee Chambers on 1861 census etc.

On 1851 census mistranscribed as Hedley

.. Can anyone find second marriage 1841 - 1851

From freeBMD it seems Betty died in 1842.

Sally seems to be the first child of the second "marriage" born Mar 1850.

The census Ann has given you is for Jacob not Joseph - did you mean Jacob?
Where did you get the name Hannah from.
THis is the marriage of Jacob & Priscilla

edit - sorry just re-read it and I assume Jacob is Joseph's son

Hello


Thank you for your resonses to my message.

David you are correct about Joseph marrying Betty Whitehead. She died in childbirth in 1842.

Joseph may have married Hannah Chambers in Oldham.

Thank you for finding them on the 1851 as Hedley too. I did not find that.

Ann thanks for finding Sally's birth for me I will send for the certificate.

How about this as a possible scenario?

From IGI Hannah Chambers m Joseph Chadderton 27 Mar 1837 Hollinwood Chapel, Lancashire.

From Lancashire BMD site
Alice Ann Chadderton 1838 and John Chadderton 1841 had mmn Chambers

1841 census

Hannah Chatterton
Age: 26
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1815
Gender: Female

Civil Parish: Prestwich Cum Oldham
Hundred: Salford
County/Island: Lancashire
Country: England

Registration district: Ashton and Oldham
Sub registration district: Oldham below Town
Neighbors: View others on page
Household Members: Name Age
Hannah Chatterton 26
Allice Chatterton 3
John Chatterton 3 Mo

They are living in the same house as John and Mary Chambers (children Benjamin and Christopher); Hannah is F.S. (female servant)
neither John nor Hannah are born Lancashire.

1851 census

Joseph Hedley
Age: 43
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1808
Relation: Head
Spouse's Name: Hannah
Gender: Male
Where born: Hollinwood, Lancashire, England

Civil Parish: Oldham Below Town

>>>>>Alice A Hedley 12 Hannah's Dau????
Hannah Hedley 38
Jacob Hedley 12
John Hedley 16
Joseph Hedley 43
Sally Hedley 1

There is no registration for an Alice Medley in 1838 and she would have to be born the same sort of time as Jacob who is registered.

Hello Andy


The 1851 census you found is my Joseph and Hannah Medley. Joseph is my GGGrandfather.

I have found Joseph with his first wife Betty on the 1841 census.

Sally was the daughter of Joseph and Betty too.

I am now looking for Joseph and Hannah Medley with their family on the 1871 and 1881 census in Oldham.

Hannah was born in Underwood Nottingham 1813.

Thank you so much for looking for me.

Shirley

Hi Ann

Joseph and Betty did have a daughter Sally 1833. She must have died.

Yes Joseph and Hannah also had a daughter Sally.

Thanks for finding the death for me I will check it out.

I think the Joseph Henry Medley was another branch of the Medleys.



I could not get on the link you gave me.

Hello Crystal Tips

I am so pleased you found the marriage for me. I did not give it a thought that Hannah was a widow. Her married name being Chadderton and Maiden name Chambers.

I cannot thank you enough for going to Manchester Library to find this fantastic info for me.


Thank you so much.

Kind Regards

Shirley
