William Hooley (1816-1884)

 William Hooley (1816-1891) is my 3rd great grandfather.

 

I am descended through:

*      his son Charles Hooley (1838-1908), who married Mary Hammond (1841-1911)

*      their son Percy Hooley (1882-1919), who married Mary Ellen Goodwin (1883-1955)

*      their son, Eric Hooley (1908-1992), who married Brenda Meakin

*      their daughter, Sheila Hooley, who married John Stanton Wain

*      Judith Yvonne Wain

 

Year of birth

1813 - from 1851 census

1814 - death registration 

1815 - from 1881 census

1817 - from 1861 census

1820 - from 1871 census

1821 - from 1841 census

 

1816

William was baptised on 11 August 1816 in St Michael, Macclesfield, Cheshire to Jonathan and Sarah Hooley, this gives their residence as Sutton and the occupation of Jonathan as Twister.

There is a another baptism for William Hooley on 22 April 1821, in the same church, also to Jonathan and Sarah Hooley, but their residence is given as Hurdsfield and Jonathan's occupation as Stone Mason, that is why I am sure that the first is correct.

 

1838

William married Sarah Sherratt on 15 April 1838 in the Parish Church of Prestbury, Cheshire.
