Has any one got any information regarding the two daughters of Thomas Wheatcroft& Hannah Taylor,
according to another researcher who I did write to to ask him about the sisters but unfortunately I have not had any reply from him.
The first sister Maria Wheatcroft born c1848 possibly in Ecclesall, I have searched the births records Ecclesall of 1784 - 1944 and the Sheffield birth records 1837 - 1856 she is not mentioned in either of these records so I am wondering if she did ever exist?.
The second sister Emma I have found that she was born Oct - Dec - 1851 - Ecclesall, She was still living with her parents in Nether Heeley in 1871. In 1881 her widowed mother Hannah was living alone at 33 Kent Road in Heeley.
This Gentleman who provided this information on the Ancestry site has really got me confused states that Hannah no surname given married a William Booth on 26 - 12 - 1837 in Derbyshire
and that his first child Margaret was born C1838. and then says Hannah Married Thomas Wheatcroft
who's first child Edwin was born 24 - 08 - 1938 in Ecclesall after this William had nine other Children was born between 1838 - 1850 and that Hannah died in Birchardville Pennsylvania in 1878 .
I do hope someone can make head or tail out of this.
My very best wishes.
Fred Wheatcroft.
I'd always add caution when looking at information on someones tree on Ancestry. There are a lot of mistakes which often then get 'copied' by others and never 'proven'.
Also, Ancestry has a habit of sometimes substituting UK locations with American ones at a top level, even though when you access the actual tree and information the location is correct as in the UK.
So when Thomas Wheatcroft married Hannah Taylor on 9 August 1837 she gave her status as 'Spinster' (obviously she could have just said that).But she couldnt then have married William Booth a few months, as Thomas and Hannah appear on a number of census records
Both their daughters Emma and Mary Ann are living with their parents on the 1861 and 1871 census records, but still looking for what happened to them after that.
There is a death for Hannah Wheatcroft B 1811, in 1882 in Sheffield - so that fits with Hannahs age on the census records and also given that you found her on the 1881 census. But no burial so far.
There is a burial for a Hannah Wheatcroft in the C of E section in the General Cemetery it states she was 70 and a widow she died on 22nd Dec and was buried on 24th Dec grave N2 115 I hope this is your Hannah
There are other burials in this grave and an MI
