Tricia's Father's Father's Mother's Family

WILLIAM NOLAN (1804?-18??), perhaps married Anastatia ... (Rebecca?). If so, she was some six years younger than him. (This is according to the 1841 census. However, the 1851 census does not confirm this.) They had both been born in Ireland. They had children:

1. CATHRINE NOLAN (1832?-??).

2. JOHN NOLAN (1834?-??).

3. THOMAS NOLAN (1838?-1865?), born in St George's in the East and aged 22 in 1861. See below.

THOMAS NOLAN (1838?-1865?), was born in St George's in the East, and aged 22 in 1861. He worked as a mechanical draughtsman. On 3 April or 2 May 1859, he married Mary Ann Matilda Amos at St Mary ??, in the registration district of St George's, Southwark. He was "of Lambeth". In 1861 they were at 44 Southville, Vauxhall.

Mary Ann had been born in Lambeth in the fourth quarter of 1838, the daughter of William Amos from Witham in Essex (aged 38 in 1851, when he was a coach painter) and his wife, Mary Ann. In 1851 the family were living at the Surprise Beer Shop, between 6 and 7 South Ville in St Barnabas, South Kennington (in the civil parish of St Mary, Lambeth). This was kept by Mary Anne's maternal grandfather, Thomas Holton (aged 66, from Soho), his wife Ann (aged 69, a needlewoman from Yeovil in Somerset) and their 19-year-old son Alexander.

Mary Ann went to board with her parents in 6 New Road, Battersea, and was staying here in 1871 with her daughter Ann. Mary Ann and Rebecca were in the other apartment with their grandmother. In the first quarter of 1875, Mary Ann remarried, to Robert Kidby in Marylebone. Robert was from Ipswich. He was a painter's labourer at 29 Sterndale Road, Battersea in 1881, and a railway works painter at Eastleigh in 1901. Mary Ann had further children from her second marriage. She died in the third quarter of 1909 in the Eastleigh area of Hampshire.
