Hi Sylvia

When I put up the census entry for Anora John and Grandson Edward, I didn`t mean that John was the father...just that Jeremiah could be calling himself John as they were both born Stalybridge Yorks in 1876.

I think grandson Edward is the son of James b1863 ...as found by you in 1891 living next door to the main Manley clan, and was questioning wether James could in fact be Timothy...

Especially as there seems to be no Timothy Manley marriage....infact no Timothy Manley anything

I think the fact that Timothy disappears after the 1881 census, there is a strong possibility that he was known by another name .


Off to see if I can find James and Sarah in 1901....if their son is with Grandma, they presumably must be somewhere.

Hi Nicky

I did realise later that I had mis-understood you ...... but by then the posting had been there for some time, so I decided to leave it.


It is not unknown for people to change their names. I remember some one some time ago who had the same problem. It finally coms down to the fact that the load of circumstantial evidence is so great that one has to accept that this is what happened.

Often the reason is because something has happened .... e.g., trying to avoid either the police or some person.


It is interesting that this family seems to have retained the surname Manley ................ although may be not so surprising. I did discover quite a few Manleys living in Wales, with some of a similar age to Edward, and born in Ireland. Possible siblings or cousins???

Yes I`ve noticed an awaful lot of these Manleys do come from Ireland.

No luck finding sarah or James in 1901...

I`ve even checked the migration lists which start at 1890, but can`t really pinpoint anyone that could be any of them.

Talking of trying to avoid the police or someone, that also may be why they moved around so much, what with that and the possibility that they changed their names....

Also looked in 1901 for Elizabeth Manley born 1890 Gorton.........but no luck.
