1851 census for Priscilla's birthplace/year.

Doesn't help much, but note her occupation of cotton winder, same as for Sarah in 1851.

Despite saying she was a widow in 1851 (so as not to admit to the shame of being an unwed mother?), there is this baptism for a Sarah Crosley in Newington, the birthplace given by Sarah in the 1851:

Name: Sarah Crosley
Record Type: Baptism
Baptism Date: 10 Nov 1822
Father's Name: Robert Crosley
Mother's Name: Elizabeth Crosley
Parish or Poor Law Union: Newington St Mary
Borough: Southwark
Register Type: Parish Registers
Father a cheesemonger.

Different area, and no father's occupation given.


Name: Martha Crossley
Baptism Date: 1 Nov 1812
Parish: St Mary, Stratford Bow
County: Middlesex
Borough: Tower Hamlets
Parent(s): Robert Crossley,
Elizabeth Crossley
Record Type: Baptism
Register Type: Parish Register

Any chance that Martha Crosley Bacon and Sarah Crossley aka Hutton were sisters, making Elizabeth Martha Crossley's parents first cousins as well as husband and wife?

EDIT: Unfortunately I can't find a baptism for Priscilla Crosley, Martha's marriage witness .

So this is a bit nebulous at the moment.

Thanks for all the information. Lots of checking now I think :-D :-D

Sarah Crowley (Crossley?) was supposedly a widow in 1851 census (but was that a face saver?) and born Newington, Surrey, which had changed to St Lukes by 1861.

Father's Name: Joseph Crossley
Mother's Name: Sarah Crossley
Parish or Poor Law Union: Shoreditch St Leonard
Borough: Hackney

This one is interesting as on the image, Joseph's forenames are written Joseph William , then what looks like Hut, which has been crossed out. There's even what looks like the start of the upward stroke of the second 't' of 'Hutton', before the word is scored through.

Born 22nd Feb 1848. Address Bull Leas Court. Mother (?) a worsted ??????

EDIT: Also, on the image, father's name Joseph has been crossed out as well, though included in the transcription.

Maybe there's some issue as to whether Joseph William's parents were married or not?

A tree on Ancestry has


Joseph William Crossley
Birth abt Jun 1848 in St Lukes RD, Middlesex
Death abt Dec 1916 in Islington, London


Susannah Rachel Bacon
Birth 30 Dec 1843 in St Luke, Middlesex
Death abt Dec 1913 in Islington, London

Same tree has Susan's father as William Bacon?

Marriage same district as Elizabeth's baptism.

I am looking for information regarding ancestors of my great grandmother. She married Christopher Penny in 1902 and I think her parents names were Robert and Jane. Can anyone help with information regarding her parents? Thanks
