Biography

Ann Jones was born about 1760, probably in Groby, Leicestershire.

She was married to Richard Hooley on 18th December 1782 in Ratby, Leicestershire. ^[1][2]

They seem to have had a child, born earlier that month and baptised in St Thomas' church in Portsmouth - which suggests that Richard might have been a sailor, and that the couple returned to their home-county to get married. It is not as yet clear whether or not their first child died or he was baptised a second time:

Richard Hooley, son of Richard and Ann, was christened on 3 Apr 1786 in Ratby. ^[3]

NOTE It could have been that Ann's husband died in July 1785 and that it was he who was the Richard Hooley, son of Joseph buried at Newtown Linford on 17th July 1785, ^[4] and that Ann, now widowed but pregnant, gave birth the following April.

In 1789 an Ann Hooley of Groby in Leicestershire, married a William Callis at Ratby. ^[5]

And on the 25th of some as yet uncertain month in 1811, an unidentified Hooley, "of Groby" was buried at Ratby.
