Ann Rothwell (1772)

Born 3 Feb 1772 in Tottington, Bury, Lancashire, England

Biography

Ann was baptised 16 February 1772 at St Mary the Virgin, Bury, Lancashire^[1]

Research Notes

She is not Ann Hilton, who was a spinster when she married Henry Hindley on 22 Nov 1801 in Leigh Church, Bow Lane, Preston, Lancashire, England.^[2]

Marriage: 22 Nov 1801 St Mary the Virgin, Leigh, Lancashire, England

Henry Hindley - (X), Weaver, Leigh Parish

Ann Hilton - (X), Spinster, Leigh Parish

Witness: James Greenhough; Thos. Lees

Married by Banns by: Danl. Birkett Vicar^[3]

She has therefore been detached as the wife of Henry Hindley (abt.1766-1843) and mother of his children.

Findmypast and Familysearch websites have been thoroughly searched with no connection found to Henry Hilton (abt.1805-bef.1878) or his children. They have also therefore been detached.Hardman-1532 10:05, 11 November 2022 (UTC)

She is not Ann the wife of Thomas Rothwell, mother of Robert Rothwell (1807-) and his siblings Ann (1798), John (1799), Thomas (1801), Rachel (1805), Sally Rothwell (1811), Richmal (1812), James Rothwell (1814) and Samuel (1818), since that Ann was born in Birtle whilst this one was born in Great Bolton. Also, there are a number of possibilities for the maiden name of Ann his wife, from various marriage records, but none of them is Rothwell. The three children Robert, Sally and James will therefore be detached from this profile and attached to their father Thomas.

She is not the mother of Sarah Ann Hilton (bef.1825-1906) since her parents were George Hilton and his wife Abigail. She has therefore also been detached.

The remaining attached children are:

1. Alice Rothwell (1792-1876) christened in St Mary the Virgin, Bury, Lancashire, England with abode “Tott”, mother Ann, base born.
2. Ellen Rothwell (1815-) christened in St Anne, Tottington, Lancashire, England with abode Four Lane Ends, mother Nancy, base born.

It seems unlikely that they have the same mother, being born 23 years apart, christened in different churches and both in a different parish to that where their mother was christened.

This christening seems unlikely because it is in a completely different place than her siblings; a more likely christening has been added (with dates altered). Ellen Rothwell (1815-) unattached because her mmother is listed as Nancy and Robertson-6617 22:03, 29 December 2023 (UTC)

Ann was born in 1774. She is the daughter of Peter Rothwell and his wife Alice. She was christened on 9 Oct 1774 in St Peter, Bolton, Lancashire, England. At the time of her christening, the family was living in Great Bolton, Lancashire, England.^[4][5]
