Hannah Snelson
F, #1655, Deceased, b. December 1816
| Consanguinity | 3rd great-aunt of Adrian John Snelson |
Parents
| Father | William Snelson (b. about March 1776, d. 20 June 1833) |
| Mother | Elizabeth Fairbrother (b. April 1785, d. 29 January 1846) |
Main Events
| Also Known As | Hannah Snelson was also known as Hannah Jones. |
| Biography | In 1841 she was living with her widowed mother and is named as Hannah Snelson, daughter of Elizabeth; there is no notation in the 1841 of marital status BUT the name is recorded as "Hannah Snelson". Hannah Snelson is said to be aged 20 years although her age is actually 24 as she was born in December 1816. Note, in the 1841 census, the age of persons over 15 was supposed to be rounded down to the nearest multiple of 5. For example, a person aged 19 would be listed as 15, a person aged 22 would be listed as age 20, and a person age 59 would be listed as 55. In practice, many census officials either did not round down at all or only rounded down for higher ages, such as over 20, or (less frequently) rounded down ages below 15. In general, the age of a person under 15 is probably accurate to within a year or two. For persons over 15, any age that is not a multiple of 5 is likely also to be accurate – for example, if a person is listed as 27, he or she probably really is 27 or thereabouts, rather than 25. The area you have to be careful of is persons over age 15 whose age is a multiple of 5 – they may be up to 4 years older than their census listing shows – so if your ancestor is listed as 50, remember that he or she is likely actually between the ages of 50 and 54 inclusive. This, of course, does not even take into account the errors made by census officials and family members reporting the ages of others ! Finally, if the age of a person was unknown, children were supposed to be recorded as “under 20†and adults as “over 20â€. I used to believe that this is the Hannah that married Edward JONES in Holt ( see the Hayes index ). This appeared to be supported by the solid evidence in Jonathan Gill's will ... " to my niece Hannah Jones wife of Edward Jones of Bretton ". Yet, she is shown as Hannah SNELSON in 1841 Census, even though she appeared to be be married Edward Jones in 1836. This does not make any sense to me. So, I had the wrong Hannah methinks. I now believe that the Hannah Snelson who married Edward Jones us in fact Hannah Snelson [1544] the daughter of John Snelson [822] and Elizabeth Unknown [821]. She too is a niece of Jonathan Gill [80] and this scenario makes more sense to me (at this stage). The two Hannahs [7] and [1544] are cousins. |

| User Reference Number | Samuel Fairbrother; 5555 |
| Birth | He was born about 1755. |
| His father William Fairbrother died after 1760 in Standish Gate, Lancashire. | |
| Occupation | Samuel Fairbrother was a brewer about 1779. |
| Marriage | Samuel Fairbrother and Mary Snelson (Soreton?) were married on 19 November 1782 in Tarvin The surname is unclear. The marriage record looks like her name is Mary "Snelon" or something like that. It is certainly not Staunton, Soreton or Storeton. The entry has been written I think by Thomas Smith, the curate as his name appears on many of the entries. On this entry, he writes that Mary is illiterate and cannot write her own name as he records that she makes her mark between her christian name and her surname. He has had to ask her what her name is - and then try and write it down. He just does his best with the spelling - and when he hears her surname he writes whatever he thinks she says. Further, the transcript published by Ancestry.com says that her name is "Sarah Toreton". This is a shocking error but demonstrates how errors can be made. In this case. both names are wrong and poorly interpreted. How anyone could read "Mary" and write "Sarah" is just recklessly irresponsible. As for what looks like "Snelon" being repcorded as "Toreton" is just hopeless. Well,...  |

His mother gave him what would be the Free County of Burgundy around Dôle in 982. Otto also inherited the duchy of Burgundy on the other side of the Saône in 1002 from his stepfather Otto Henry the Great. The duchy then corresponded to the diocese of Besançon in the Holy Roman Empire. He was also Count of Mâcon in France. Burgundy was annexed to the crown of France by King Robert II in 1004. Determined to be sovereign ruler of his own lands, Otto revolted against the Emperor Henry II in 1016. This was after Rudolph III of Burgundy, the last king of that realm, had done homage to Henry at Strasbourg making him his guard and heir. On Otto's death, the Free County fell under the suzerainty of the German emperors. His first wife was Ermentrude, daughter of Count Renaud of Rheims.
