Esther Isherwood or Pilkington

• Death Notes
  • It appears that Esther died, aged only 30, shortly after giving birth to a daughter (unnamed), that also died.

    HORROCKS    Esther    30    Westhoughton    WH/4/308
    
    The births show the mother's maiden name was GREGORY, so this must be another family (there are several HORROCKS+GREGORY marriages). Joseph Horrocks married Esther Gregory in 1848.

• General Notes
  • In 1854, Esther Isherwood or Pilkington (so probably a widow) married Charles Horrocks.
    
    By 1861, Charles was a widower, so Esther must have died.  The only Bolton death is for Esther Horrocks of Westhoughton in 1855, aged 30.  It appears that this Esther died shortly after giving birth to a daughter (unnamed), that also died. However, this is another Esther Gregory (1825-1855)  that married Joseph Horrocks.  Another Esther Horrocks died in N Bury in 1859, aged 53, but this Esther seems a little old.  There is also Esther that died 1858 in  Blackley, near Middleton, aged 42.  This is further away, but a better age match for Charles.
