Mary Ann Hargreaves c.1855

[bettyespana]

Mary was my Gt Grandmother & she married Robert Moss 2.9.1876@ St Bartholomews Church Salford.
According to the marriage cert her father was John Hargreaves.I do not know her mothers name & that is a big problem
for me.
Mary was supposed to have lived in Stretford but I have really no proof as she was living in Salford at the time of marriage.
She was a Frame Tenter in the cotton mill & I think her father also worked in the mills.
Can anyone help me find her mother please

Does it say how old she was when she was married?

I've found this birth in 1848 which could be her:

HARGREAVES Mary Ann Salford 20 781

Is this her birth registration?

Births Mar 1853
Hargraves Mary Ann - Salford 8d 97

Note the spelling of the surname.

[Nicolina]

in 1871 there is a possibility that the family had split up.

To get Mary's mother's surname you would need to get Mary's birth certificate as found by Ronone above.

a search on FreeBMD gives a probable marriage:
Marriages Dec 1863
between Richard PURSLOW and Sarah Maria O'LOGHLAN
Manchester 8d 176

so that causes another question. Which one of the PURSLOWs was related to which of the HARGREAVES parents
