Mary Ashcroft was born in Orford, Lancashire, England.
Mary was the 6th child and 2nd daughter of Isaac Ashcroft and Alice Allen Haslehurst. She was christened at Christ Church, Padgate, Lancashire on 31st July 1870.
[1]
Like most of her siblings, Mary remained single and lived and worked on her parents' farm at Long Lane, Orford, Lancashire
[2][3][4]
and later at Brook House Farm, Penketh, Lancashire.
[5]
where the family remained after their father's death.
[6][7]
Mary died in 1912 and was buried at Thelwall, Cheshire on 25th May 1912
[8][9]
Research Notes
Mary is not named on the family gravestone, but it is likely that she was buried in the family plot, which from the old burial plan at the church and visible evidence in the graveyard appears to be a double plot
