Me again....... another mystery

[Merry]

Maybe the enumerator put granddau for Jane Leach because he was reading the wrong line on the householders schedule and she should say boarder or something? *looks hopeful*

[Phoenix]

Are there any Henry Bridge/Mary Leach marriages?

The obvious assumption is that Mary had an illegitimate child - either a little leech or a girl child who married a Leach.

As everyone else has said, Jane's birth certificate ought to resolve the problem and with luck, Mary was living with her illegitimate child in 1841.

There is a Jane Leach baptism 30 Nov 1864 at Holy Trinity, Bolton, daughter of Thomas and Ann, abode Ormrod Street, occupation miner (on Lancashire OPC site).

Well done Kate - I didn't know Lancs had an OPC!

Unless she wasn't a baby that surely must be the right one?

Oh dear........

Births Mar 1863
LEACH Jane Bolton 8c 262


Births Jun 1864
LEACH Jane Bolton 8c 331


There was only one when I looked earlier. Aplogies.

I had completely forgot about LancsBMD - I"ve done two weeks of researching a Lancs based tree too.

*slaps self*

As the bap is in the right address area and as I can't see Thomas and Ann getting married or being on a census, I guess that bap is probably for the right Jane Leach!

[kiterunner]

I can't see any Leaches in Ormrod Street on the 1861. Bother!

[Merry]

Can you easily see if Thomas and Ann leach had other children baptised?

*searches for site*

[kiterunner]

I had a quick look through and couldn't find any, but I only looked at the ones with dates fairly near to 1864:
