John married Ann Grounds on 04 Nov 1855 in Salford. Ann (daughter of Thomas Grounds and Hannah Millington) was born between 20 Jun 1831 and 19 Jun 1832 in Moore, Cheshire; died on 19 Jun 1891 in Radcliffe, Lancashire. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

John and Ann seem to have become estranged in the late 1860's, after the death of their son John Millington, although in 1861, Ann was living with her father in Salford and John was lodging at Ashton under Lyne. They must have have been living together after that as Esther Ann was born in 1863. In 1871 Ann was living with her sister and brother in law at Dunham and John was living with another woman at Gorton. In 1881 Ann was still living at Dunham and John was living with a different woman in Hulme. There were three children living with them, Thomas, Jane and Elizabeth but, although they have the name Wright on the census, there are no children of these names born to John or John G in the indexes for Manchester or Salford. They may therefore be the children of his partner only, who have conveniently been given the name Wright.

Notes:

Thomas Wright was baptised at Stretford, 06/10/1793, father Samuel Wright, mother Ann.
Burial register says 'of Chorlton on Medlock'
Not in 1851 census

Thomas married Jane Davies on 07 Feb 1815 in Bowdon, Cheshire. Jane (daughter of Living and Living) was born in 1797 in Ashton on Mersey, Cheshire; died on 30 Nov 1866 in Ashton on Mersey, Cheshire; was buried on 04 Dec 1866 in Ashton on Mersey Parish Church. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Probably died in Altrincham district, 1866, age 69 (Cheshire BMD).
Likely that she was the base born daughter of Hannah Davies of Ashton on Mersey, baptised at Bowdon 03/12/1797.

Notes:

Marriage entry gives a witness John Goodier which identifies it as the correct entry.
No sign of family in Altrincham area in 1851 census except sons Thomas and John Goodier. May have moved to Manchester/Salford.

Notes:

Death not Thomas Grounds age 85 at Runcorn J-1885
No death found otherwise. Was alive for 1871 census but not apparently for 1881 census. Likely to have died at Dunham Massey as that was his residence (farmer) in 1871. Not listed in parish burials.

In 1874 Manchester directory, Mr. Thomas Grounds was listed with John Grounds, tailor at 31 Frances Street, Chorlton on Medlock.

A Thomas Grounds was buried at Phillips Park Cemetery, Manchester on 02/04/1885, Grave no. 1048, position 21 in the non-conformist section.
