James, Lois, William, and Elizabeth Ann Hindley

-

 The next child of Robert Hindley to be investigated is James.



However, there are many men by this name in the greater Manchester area, and it is challenging to determine which is our James.  Lois is also complicated to follow (see notes from the first post about Robert Hindley ... since Lois' mother died when she was a baby, she seems to have been raised by another family as evidenced in the two censuses she is found in).


As for William, a nice headstone image on Findagrave identifies him with his parents and wife Mary Emma.

William and Mary Emma are identifiable after their 1898 marriage on the 1901 and 1911 censuses in FamilySearch sources.  The 1911 census confirms that William (Jr.) is their ONLY child.  His marriage to Bessie Shaw is documented in the Lancashire Online Parish Clerk Project:

Bessie has now been added to FamilySearch's Tree.  No further research has been done to know whether they had posterity.


*William & Bessie add 2 more people to Robert Hindley's discovered posterity and 10 potential ordinances to the Tree.

Regrettably, Elizabeth Ann was not discovered easily either, so this concludes research (for now) for the Hindley Family.

Hindley Family Follow-up Part 2

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 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: https://www.cwgc.org/find-records/find-war-dead/casualty-details/2494468/robert-cyril-holt/ 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 4...

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...
