KERSHAW Elizabeth Dau U F 4 Scholar Lancashire - Rochdale

Possible marriage for Thomas and Susan:

KERSHAW Thomas Rochdale 8e 75 <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
STEPHENSON William Gilbert Rochdale 8e 75
TAYLOR Jane Rochdale 8e 75


The 1881 census posted by alviegal shows the middle name Bamford on one of the grandchildren.

Possible death for 1st wife Susan

Deaths Jun 1870
Kershaw Susan aged 36 Rochdale 8e 57





Info on second wife Sarah Jane:


Sarah Jane Irving
England Births and Christenings

Gender: Female
Christening Date: 29 Feb 1836

Father's Name: Thomas Irving
