Hello, Having just discovered a whole parcel of Eckersley's in my family i looked up the Eckersley family site and read of your interest on the Lancashire Eckersley's.My Gt.Gt.Grandfather Isaac Newton was married to a Mary Ann Eckersley. Born Oldham.Lancs. On the 1871 Census they are shown as living with her mother Mary Eckersley (greengrocer) at Nubcote StreetOldham.Mary's(senior)age is given as 54..with her are her son James(or Jimmy)Daughters Betty and Hannah. Mary Ann Newton(35) Isaac Newton(35) are there with their children John,Mary Alice,William,James Henry and Richard.. Having checked back to the 1861 Census Mary Eckersley is a widow with children,James,William,John,Betty and Hannah.If you have come across any of these names in your research,i would be most interested.
