Personal Information | Event Map | All | PDF

Name	Ann Ferbert Challener
	Baptised 17 Jan 1800 at Clutton, Somerset. She was daughter of William Challener and a Mary but no surname entered for mother. Investigated possible marriages of William and Mary within a relevant timeline and found William Challener was married to Mary Hooley on 4 Jan 1792 @ Chester. Moving on to William's birth, found 2 possibilities: William born 1766 @ Tutbury, Staffordshire and William born 1768 @ Birmingham. Both Williams have a father William! Found 12 possible birth dates for Mary Hooley between 1766 and 1775 but dismissed the last 5 as thought she would be too young Picked the 1771 date to investigate further as she was born at Chester, the daughter of James and Martha Gatley Having investigating both William's back to 1630 and Mary's line back to a similar time, there is no sign of a Ferbert/Ferberd anywhere ! My conclusion is that this must be an example, yet again, of the name being borrowed, but where from, there is no clue. There are 6 more Mary Hooleys to investigate but have taken 3 afternoons on this already so will shelve for now. The other ones to investigate are: 1766 Cheshire daughter of William and Ann 1768 Cheshire d of Thomas and Martha Hurlbutt 1768 Cheshire d of James and Mary Hulse 1770 Cheshire d of John and Phoebe Norburg or Norbury 1771 Macclesfield d of Jonathan and Betty Boyer 1772 Leicester d of William and Elizabeth My Heritage reports an Ann Challener (no middle name) baptised 02 Nov 1800 but her father is given as Samuel and mother Isabella. I suspect this is a bad match
