Hi Marie,
One of the Daughters,? my G-Grandmother Fanny Abberley b 1840, WE think she is the Mother of both children,? SO a birth cert will tell us.
Many thanks for your help, and quick response.
John.
Q.L.D. ;-)

1861 for the family:

HABBERLEY, Stephen Head Married M 53 1808 Agricultural Labourer Ellerdine
HABBERLEY, Sarah Wife Married F 36 1825 Cold Hatton
HABBERLEY, Margary Ann Daughter Unmarried F 16 1845 House Servant Ellerdine

Piece: 1896 Folio: 71 Page: 10
Registration District: Wellington
Civil Parish: Ellerdine
Municipal Borough: Ercall Magna

Address: Seedles Lane, Ellerdine, Ercall Magna County: Shropshire

Could Margary Ann be their mother?

EDIT: The 1851 shows a number of daughters so guess the mother(s) could be any of them. Only way to be sure is to get birth certificates.

Can't find census entries to correspond to those births so they seem likely, probably depend on how the name was pronounced when registered.

ABBERLEY, Sarah Wife F 68 1803 Shropshire
ABBERLEY, Sophia Granddaughter F 9 1862 Shropshire

All born Magna Ercall
