Thank you for finding them.

I would like to know what the name of the children are I don't think for a minute one was Graveland. I thought someone would be able to make it out.

I would also like to find the family on the 1871 census.

Hello

Thank you for that info 3 of these children were Joseph and Hannahs
children. It was the time of the cotton famine in Oldham when most were out of work.



I do know from Sallys death cert they were in Oldham in 1864. I just cannot find any sign of them on the 1871.

Thought possibly this could this be "Graveland" but there is an Amanda of the right age living next door with John Medley and a 1 year old Melina, who going by the MMN must be the 1859 Malina

if you have the marriage Shirlock, what is the maiden name? if that is Josephs death in '64, then Hannah may have remarried by 1871?
