John Barrow died three years after the marriage in 1845.
By 1851, Happy had lost her first husband and was living with her daughter Maria and parents, Samuel and Alice. 1851 census has her as Married, not Widowed, but she probably was.
Happy's father Samuel died in 1854. It appears that Happy of Rose Hill,.was in attendance at her fathers death (but it looks like Harry Shuttleworth on the certificate).
By 1861 Happy's father Samuel has died. Happy has remarried Phineas Shuttleworth, and is now living at 167 Lever Street, Little Bolton, still with her daughter Maria and mother Alice Mather.
