Hello Joan,

I've just read your e-mail - sorry I sent mine before I'd seen it.

You have really helped regarding advising that Thomas died in 1871, and confirming that Martha and Clara are Jane's children. Obviously he couldn't be the father of any children born after 1871, so I'll have to look into that further. I also didn't know that Jane married Matthew Bailey so that is a big help too - I did see her listed as a lodger with the Baileys, but obviously didn't notice that she was a Widow then.

Thanks again for the information.

Regards,
Janet

Peter, although I do not have the complete details of the marriage of Lily
YOXALL and Harold MOTTERSHEAD, they were married at St. Mary's Church,
Weaverham. I would therefore suggest that this particular Lily YOXALL was
the daughter of James YOXALL and Mary Ann SHALLCROSS. James and Mary Ann
were married at St. Mary's, Weaverham and Lily was also baptised there. As
far as I can tell the YOXALL's in Weaverham stemmed from the above James
YOXALL and William YOXALL, both sons of James YOXALL and Frances/Fanny
HIGGINS.

Regarding Jane BRADLEY. Jane was a Spinster when she married Thomas YOXALL
in 1860, she was not previously married. Jane and Thomas had several
children between 1861 and 1869, i.e. Hannah, Elizabeth, William, Fanny, and
Thomas.

Jane's husband, Thomas, died in 1871. However, Jane went on to have more
children between the years 1873 and 1884, i.e. Martha, John Thomas, Ernest,
Clara Fair, and Moses. They were given the surname YOXALL but obviously
they are not the children of Thomas YOXALL !!

Jane does not appear to have remarried until 1892 when she married Matthew
BAILEY. She is shown as a Widow on both the 1881 and 1891 censuses. On
the 1881 she is a boarder with a family named MOTTERSHEAD, and on the 1891
she is a Lodger with Matthew BAILEY.

I haven't looked into any MOTTERSHEAD family history so am unable to say
whether there is any connection between the MOTTERSHEAD who married Lily and
the one who married Ernest.

Hope this helps.

Cheers............Joan
