Manvers Main Colliery was a coal mine, sunk on land belonging to the Earl Manvers and was situated on the northern edge of the town of Wath-upon-Dearne, between that town and Mexborough, in the Dearne Valley, South Yorkshire, England.

Swinton is just south of Wath upon Dearne and both are around 10 miles from Hemsworth where the family show in the 1881 posted above

hmmmmmmm

was her father Elijah???

Where did you get the place of her birth from? I'm wondering if Binley Hall could be an error, a mishearing or mis-spelling.

This is the 1881 Census

Name: Susanah Tennant
Age: 22
Estimated birth year: abt 1859
Relationship to Head: Daughter
Father: Elijah Tennant
Mother: Ann Tennant
Gender: Female
Where born: Brierley Hill, Staffordshire <<<<<<<<<<<<<
