It looks like she was born Briercliffe 1844. I wondered whether her mother was Leaver and she (Mary) was born before the marraige. But I haven't found the marriage at all. Maybe I need to track it from another angle and find her birth. |

Well there were two Mary Emmots born in the Burnley area in the same year, but both registered as Emmott, so my last theory goes out the window. I wonder whether she just lived with a Leaver and was known by his name? That would have to have been between the last census and her death and I would have thought that a bit unusual in view of her age. Wonder whether the will would throw up any clues? |
