Mary Ann Byram 1835-1910
(Mormon Records) show two possibilities for Mary Ann
Mary Ann Byram, father William (no mother recorded) born 14 Nov 1833, christened 10 Mar 1834 at the Independent Church, Ashton in Makerfield, Lancs in 1834 (no mother recorded, so she may have died in childbirth). The Independent subsequently became Congregational.
However, a Job Byram with wife Susan christened a Mary Ann Byram at St Peter, Leeds, W Yorks 18 Sep 1836.
Mary Ann Byram was the second wife of William Patterson 1816. They married at Halifax in June 1863 (BMD).
She was recorded In the 1871 census as living at 36 Calcutta Street, Bowling, West Yorkshire, in the following household -
William Patterson 55 Plasterer, born Clayton West
Mary A Patterson 36 Weaver, born in Horton
Martha E Patterson 7, born in Shelf.
Wallace Patterson 5, born in Shelf
Albert E Patterson 2, born in Shelf
Mary J Gorry 20, boarder, Weaver, born in Liverpool
Charlotte Whittleston 19, boarder, Weaver, born in East Ardsley, Yorks.
Annie Dyson 18, boarder, Weaver, born in Huddersfield.
She was recorded In the 1881 census as still living at 36 Calcutta Street, Bowling, West Yorkshire, in the following household -
William Patterson 66 Plasterer, born Clayton
Mary A Patterson 45 Worsted Weaver, born in Bradford
Martha E Patterson 17, Worsted Weaver, born in Shelf.
Albert Ernest Patterson 12, Doffer, born in Clayton
Mary Rosalie Patterson 7, Scholar, born in Clayton
Florence Patterson 1, born in Bradford, Yorks.
She was recorded In the 1891 census as living a few doors down Calcutta Street, at number 15, in the following household -
William Patterson 76 Supported by family, born Clayton
Mary A Patterson 56 born in Bradford
Albert E Patterson 22, Worsted weaving Overlooker, born in Clayton
Mary R Patterson 17, Worsted Weaver, born in Clayton
Florence Patterson 11, Scholar, born in Bradford, Yorks.
She was recorded In the 1901 census as a widow, living in the family of her son Albert Ernest Patterson. Her husband therefore died between 1881 and 1901.
Mary Ann had 5 recorded children
Martha Ellen 1864
Wallace 1866
Albert Ernest 1868
Mary Rosalie 1874
Florence 1880
In 1901 she was living as a widow in the household of her son Albert Ernest Patterson at 21 George St Shipley, a house that still exists.
This BMD record suggests that she died in Bradford in 1910 at the age of 71. My cousin Brian Brown (the son of Doris Patterson & Richard Brown), in a letter (18 March 2006) told me that she lived with the family of her son Albert Ernest Patterson at Rushden near Bedford, before Albert Ernest moved to Luton.
