Mary Ann Hales  - my great, great grandmother

Mary Ann was the daughter of Thomas Hales and Elizabeth Dobson (Thomas Hales was the son of William Hales and Mary Hayes). Elizabeth Dobson was born 1801 in Windsor, Berkshire to John Dobson and wife (name not known).

Elizabeth Dobson and Thomas Hales were were married in London in 1819. Witnesses to the marriage were William Hoare (Elizabeth's brother-in-law) and Elizabeth Sedwick.

Thomas Hales died in 1838, aged 50.

In 1841 the census shows Elizabeth Hales, a widow aged 41 with 5 children: Mary Ann aged 17; Thomas 15, a hairdresser; William 14; Benjamin 9; and Elizabeth 3 all living at Tower Hamlet in Shoreditch. Missing from this record is Thomas George the twin of William. As Thomas George does not appear in any later enumerations it is presumed he did not survive childhood.

As can be seen from the actual birth dates of these children census information is often inaccurate.

International Genealogical Index records or Ancestry records

  •  Thomas George and William James (twins)  - born 13 Sep 1829

By 1843 Thomas Hales was deceased and Benjamin (aged 10) and Elizabeth (aged) 4, have been taken into care because their mother Elizabeth was a prisoner in the Millbank Penitentiary. The information confirming the parentage of Benjamin and Elizabeth was provided by Eleanor Hoare (Elizabeth's sister). The children became wards of the Parish of St Leonard's, Shoreditch. Ref:London, England Selected Poor Law Removal and Settlement Records, 1698-1930 (Oct 1841-Jun 1844).


There is no record of Elizabeth Hales in the 1851 census. Mary Ann is married to Potter Samuel Oyler (a porter). They are living at 8 Fashion St in Spitalfields with their 6 eldest children: Harriet, Thomas, George, Elizabeth and William.
