Many trees on Ancestry say that the Richard Worrall who died in 1847 was born 1784, the son of John Worrall and Margaret Hazelhurst and was married to Hannah Walley/Whalley. Of course these trees could all have been copied from the same one.

Hi there, and a good Saturday afternoon to you all,

I descend from a Mary Worrall (baptised 1813 in Frodsham, Cheshire), daughter of Richard and Hannah (nee Whalley) Worral who married in Frodsham in 1810. Can you help me work back over?

I noticed there was a Richard and Hannah Worrall seem to be living in Frodsham at the time of the 1841 census, with some of their children. There is a burial for a Richard Worrall in 1847, making him born c. 1784 and there is a baptism for a Richard Worrall in 1784 in Frodsham to a John and Margaret Worrall but this Richard seems to have been buried in 1800 (the original burial record states he was the son of John and Margaret Worrall of Overton).

A lot of trees on ancestry have the 1784 Richard Worrall as being the father of my Mary/and/or her siblings, but surely this can't be the case? Is this a situation of people merely copying family trees without their own research?

Would you on here be able to help me work back over, or at least confirm this situation one way or another?

Kind regards,

Peter
