Hello,
I wonder if anyone can help me with this. I've chosen this thread/topic as my ancestor was of this time.
Ellen Mary Hitchens was born in about 1802 in Burnley, Lancashire.
I believe, as I've searched the IGI that her parents were:
William Hitchens and Betty (maiden name unknown)
Ellen Mary was known as 'The Rose of Burnley'

(or maybe she was only known as either 'Mary' or just 'Ellen' but when married and in the census she appears as 'Mary' Robinson (nee Hitchens)
She had several sisters, one of which was in turn known as
'The Lily of Burnley'
I wonder if anyone knows of a family of Hitchens of Burnley and their daughters the Rose and Lily of Burnley?
She is my great great great great grandmother. I think she died in the late 1870's or early 1880's.
Any info would be most appreciated
Bye for now
Jess
