Aha! A marriage to a Jordan.

I was going on the theory that Maria Parks in 1881 might be a child by a previous marriage of Mary A's, and look what I'd found:


Name: William Henry Parks + Maria Jordan on same page
Year of Registration: 1876
Quarter of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec
District: Chorlton
County: Lancashire
Volume: 8c
Page: 1026


although I don't find a matching Maria Jordan birth.


And I'd seen this 1861 census entry -- note the father's name:


Name: Maria Jordan
Age: 8
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1853
Relation: Daughter
Father's Name: River
Mother's Name: Mary
Gender: Female
Where born: Blackburn, Lancashire, England
Civil Parish: Blackburn
Ecclesiastical parish: St Mary
County/Island: Lancashire


Some of the other children in that household were old enough to have flown by 1871, but the others? --

Elizabeth Jordan 6
John Jordan 11
Maria Jordan 8
Mary Jordan 35
River Jordan 37
Robert Jordan 13
Yates Wallace Jordan 3

Yates apparently died in 1912, e.g.

Aha. Here he is in 1871, in the household of the same Clarks who were in the 1861 Jordan household:

Name: Gates Wallace Jordan
Age: 13
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1858
Relation: Nephew
Gender: Male
Where born: Blackburn, Lancashire, England
Civil Parish: Blackburn
Ecclesiastical parish: St Paul
Town: Blackburn
County/Island: Lancashire


You'd be surprised how many River Jordans there were ... (I should talk; I have a Fields Carter in my tree with a son Green).


Name: River Jordan + Mary Ann Leeming on same page
Year of Registration: 1847
Quarter of Registration: Apr-May-Jun
District: Blackburn
County: Lancashire
Volume: 21
Page: 20



So I think that's a solution to the identity of several other people in William Hewitt's family!

Lordy ... here they are in 1871, if that's any help:


Name: William Herritt
Age: 52
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1819
Relation: Head
Spouse's Name: Mary A
Gender: Male
Where born: Bingley, Yorkshire, England
Civil Parish: Hulme
Ecclesiastical parish: St Stephan
County/Island: Lancashire
Country: England
Registration district: Chorlton
Sub-registration district: Hulme
ED, institution, or vessel: 48
Household schedule number: 120

Household Members: Name Age
John Atkisson 30

Wife Mary A has lost a few years by 1881.

If you're subscribed at Ancestry, you must go fix the name and add some notes, Dominic!


Does this not look like it might be William, in the IGI?
