Thank you for your message.

I am adding information for you on here and then you have all the information in one place. Plus it is easier to refer back to a thread rather than messages.

Regarding the marriage between William Martin Ross and Mary Ann Shipley.....

Marriages Dec 1907 (>99%)
ROSS William Martin Goole 9c 1609
SHIPLEY Mary Ann Goole 9c 1609

I think Mary's middle name of "Ann" is an error as she appears as Mary Jane Ross in 1911 and Mary J Ross on her death registration...


Name:Mary J Ross
Birth Date:abt 1882
Date of Registration:Jun 1943
Age at Death:61
Registration district:Goole
Inferred County:Yorkshire West Riding
Volume:9c
Page:861

Her birth...

Births Dec 1881 (>99%)
SHIPLEY Mary Jane Chesterfield 7b 644

And Baptism...

Name:Mary Jane Shipley
Birth Date:15 Jul 1881
Parish:Castleford, All Saints
Baptism Date:8 Apr 1883
Father's name:George Shipley
Mother's name:Charlotte Shipley

From the 1911 census..........She named her illegitimate daughter after her mother.

Births Jun 1902 (>99%)
SHIPLEY Charlotte Ann Goole 9c 944

She appears in the 1881 and 1891 with her Grandparents John and Mary Woodall.

John and Mary's daughter Charlotte, married George Shipley in 1874

Marriages Sep 1874 (>99%)
Shipley George Howden 9d 143
Woodall Charlotte Howden 9d 143

Charlotte died in 1887

Deaths Mar 1887 (>99%)
Shipley Charlotte 35 Pontefract 9c 72

Name:Charlotte Shipley
Birth Year:abt 1852
Parish:Castleford, All Saints
Burial Date:1 Feb 1887
Burial Age:35

Which would explain why Mary was living with her Grandparents.
