The will for Abel Buckley has arrived.

His daughter was Eliza, born 1812 in the Dukinfield area.
She married twice, firstly to Henry Crompton and secondly to John Rugg Lewis, a solicitor.

Henry died in 1845:

Wow, thanks! I have been trawling FMP newspapers but didn't find this!

Eliza's father Abel Buckley is OH's 4x-great-uncle.

Thanks, Kate.

Eliza was an only child (as far as I'm aware). Her mother Ann died young.

Here is John Buckley Crompton's baptism record:

Baptised 9 Jan 1840 at Ashton Under Lyne, the son of Henry and Eliza Crompton of Moss Lodge, father's occupation gentleman.

Then strangely enough, there is an entry for him in the National Probate Calendar for 1862 saying he died 16 Jul 1840 at St Helier's, Jersey:

I already have this saved on my computer as many of OH's family feature!

I should have searched it.

Moss Lodge was a residence of the Buckley family.

re Jersey
How could Ann of died 25th february 1811 if Eliza was born 1812 ? or am I completely mis reading this ?
although born the Duknfield area - their abode was ASHTON - is this now known as Ashton in Makerfield ?

Baptism: 15 Oct 1812 Providence Independent, Dukinfield, Lancashire, England
Eliza Buckley - [Child] of Abel Buckley & Ann
Born: 23 Aug 1812
Abode: Ashton, Lancaster
Baptised by: T. Bennett
............
so - am I reading that Ann died 1811 correctly ?

Well spotted, Allan! The dates from the gravestone are confused.

I suspect that the gravestone was incorrectly transcribed.

A marriage licence was granted on 22/11/1811.
The marriage of Abel Buckley and Ann Wright took place on 28/11/1811.

Eliza Buckley was born 23/8/1812 and baptised 15/10/1812.

Ann must have died on or after 23rd August 1812.
I suspect she died 25th February 1813 and not 1811!

The memorial stone was probably erected some time after Abel's death and the information would have come from a family member, therefore it is quite possible some of the facts are wrong.

[garstonite]

and - Ashton - is Ashton under Lyne ( says Line on post 1 ) so that's sorted - do you have info on Ann Wright ? was she from Lancashire ?

[ElizabethHerts]

The locals spelt it both Line and Lyne in those days.

I know nothing about Ann's parents, but I haven't really looked.

Abel's sister Hannah is OH's 4x-great-grandmother.
