Biography

Ann was a Friend (Quaker)

Ann ^[1] was born about 1700.

She married Thomas Ryley on the 18th June 1723 in Chatburn, Lancashire, England ^[2]

She passed away about 1773.

Research Notes

Her birth date is estimated from the date of her marriage. Her death date is a guess. She probably either was born or became a Quaker as her daughter Eleanor (Ryley) Waterhouse was recorded as a Quaker at her birth. There is an Ann Riley mentioned in Quaker records in Leeds University [1]. She is listed under Brighouse Monthly Meeting. She is possibly the same Ann Riley who married Caleb Stansfield in 1758 in Keighley.
