If this is Susan/Suanna from 1861 census:
Births Jun 1855
Riley Susan Chorlton 8c 471
her birth certificate will give her Mother's maiden name.

Where did you get the name Brownhill from?

This is a possible James Riley to Susan marriage:
Marriages Mar 1852
Evans Mary Manchester 8d 386
xxx Gregson Susanna Manchester 8d 386
Rigby John Manchester 8d 386
xxx Riley James Manchester 8d 386

thank you all very much. the name brownhill is the name the family have used 'forever' but, of course , it could be wrong.
Openshaw , Lancashire, Tony, I am also in Australia.
thank you, Shirlock, I don't think that is them.
Astra, thank you that is the family....
Thank you, also, Patricia, I will check that out.
I am so grateful to you all.
