Biography
This profile is part of the St Helens, Lancashire One Place Study.
Thomas Heald was christened on 9 Jun 1793 at St Aidan's Church in Billinge, Lancashire. He was the son of James and Hester Heald of Winstanley. [1]
Thomas married Susannah Lyon on 10 Apr 1826 at All Saints Church in Wigan, Lancashire. Both were of the local parish; the witnesses were Robert Banks and Samuel Vizard. [2]
By June 6th 1841, they were living in Church Street, Westfield, Eccleston, with cooper James Ireland, who was presumably a boarder or lodger. Thomas was a labourer. [3]
By March 30th 1851, they were in Westfield Street, Eccleston; Thomas was a cow keeper. [4]
By April 7th 1861, they were in Edge Green Lane, Ashton in Makerfield, Lancashire; Thomas was retired from cow keeper. [5]
Susannah died in 1869 in Wigan district, aged 79. [6]
Thomas died in 1871 in Wigan district, believed to be aged 80 (it was after the census but I couldn't see him listed in the census, on FamilySearch.) [7]
Research Notes
No evidence found so far to support James Ireland being a relative.
Wife
No profile created for his wife because she may possibly have been married before. Please don't add a profile for his wife unless you can find more evidence than I've found so far. She was born in 1792-6 (per 1841) or 1789 (per 1851), 1790 (per 1861 & death age), so would have been at least 30 when they married and possibly as much as 37, plenty old enough to have married before.
I could find no good match for her in baptism records with a Windle birthplace - there was a Susanna Lyon christened in 1798 in Billinge and born in Ashton-in-Makerfield and this could be her if the birthplace of Windle she consistently gave was incorrect (There's also a Hannah Lyon born Rainford). I have sometimes seen cases where it appears from the records that a person believed they were born in the place their family moved to when they were very young, but the baptism record names a different abode for the family. It's impossible to be certain it's not actually the person and not the baptism record that's incorrect in such cases, unless a birth certificate is available, because the child could have been born away from where the family was living at the time of baptism, either the mother was visiting or the family moved between the birth and baptism.
However since significant numbers of people in the St Helens area censuses can't be found in online baptism records - typically because their families weren't Anglican - it seems unwise to assume the Billinge baptism is the correct one for Susanna.
No plausible Lyon - Susanna marriages found (the 1825 marriage in Liverpool of John Lyon & Susannah Stitt had matching baptisms of kids after 1826 so is implausible). There are some possible Lyon - Hannah marriages but none stands out from the rest as especially likely-looking.
