Margaret Howley was my gg grandmother born in somewhere in Ireland (I suspect either Tipperary or Sligo,Mayo c1841. She went to England between her birth 1841 and 1851 and settled in Bolton Lancashire. I found an address for her listed as a visitor aged 11 but no other members of Howley found at that address. Does anyone know of or have any ancestors of this name. Margaret had a son illegitimately in 1867 in Bolton naming him John Thomas Howley, she then married his father Thomas Unsworth. Thomas and Margaret married in 1870 when they changed John Thomas surname to Unsworth. They went on to have another son in Sept 1871 naming him James. Sadly both James and Margaret both died the same month 1871. John Thomas married Sarah Harding (from Holywell Wales) in Bolton c1885.
Can anyone help at all please??
