Hindley Family Follow-Up

-

There were more Hindleys to research ...

On closer investigation of Robert's descendants, many more can be added to the Tree:

His daughter Eunice married George Rostron and had six known children.  Researching through these children led to the discovery of Elizabeth's husband Robert Holt and their five children, Samuel, Alice, Ada, Ernest, and Robert Cyril.

Robert Cyril

With the youngest of these children having a unique name, it was easy to find him online, and unfortunately, he was killed at war:

He left a young widow, Sarah Louise Caine Holt, and daughter, Jean Elizabeth Holt (who eventually married Douglas Cunningham, and from the sound of their obituaries, has many living descendants).

Ernest, Ada, Alice & Samuel

There are many people by these names in the Manchester area during this time period ... a few too many to pin down where they went (yet).  Ada was still single (age 40) living with her parents on the 1939 Register.  I have not yet been able to find record of her after that date.

Eunice & George Rostron's other children ... up next!


(That's 9 new people added to the Tree = 48 additional ordinance possibilities)

Working on George Rostron & Eunice Hindley's other children (beyond Elizabeth, who was researched in the previous post)... Samuel Their oldest child, Samuel, was born in Manchester about 1863 (according to the 1871 and 1881 censuses where he is listed with his parents).  While no 1901 census is evident for him yet, a solid possibility appears on the 1891 , 1911 , and 1921 censuses for Samuel.  His wife, in this case, was Elizabeth Ann, they were the same age, and she was born in Hollinwood (next-door to Failsworth, where Samuel grew up).  The 1911 census makes it clear that they were married in 1884 and had no children.  A marriage was registered in the correct district in 1884 for a Samuel Rostron to Elizabeth Ann Schofield.  While this couple has not been conclusively proven to match, they represent a highly likely possibility. Eliza Ann The next child proved to be easier to follow.  Eliza Ann was living in the same 1871 and 1881 censuses with her...

Hindley Research PLAN

As I can tell that Robert Hindley probably had a much bigger posterity than I've had the chance to research so far, and because I'm very curious about the potential ordinance quantity for the descendants of this one early saint, I will continue the research!  But it's time for some organization.  Here is a checklist to track my research of his descendants through each of his children.   JOSEPH is up next...
