I have been trying for years to trace my g.g.grandmother's parents but with no success. Her name was Mary Ann Gough, born circa 1852 and she married William Warner. She died in 1873 leaving her son Richard, my g.grandfather, who was only two. Any information, no matter how vague, would be most appreciated.
With very many thanks.

Buy a copy of the marriage cert. If she knew her father, his name and occupation will be recorded

I can't see birth in Scotland of either Margaret Gough c1848, or Mary Ann c1852.
Of course, it may just be that their births weren't registered.

In 1871 the Barnett family is living in Harwood Street (Cutlers End).

The next street the enumerator came to was Richard Street, where Mary Ann Gough, Betsey Chinn, etc were living.

Might be significant, or could be just coincidence.

Looking at Google Maps, I see that Richard Street joins Harwood Street at right angles.

Cutlers End is now called Lambert End, and is 0.2 miles from Richard Street per Google Maps.

"By the later 18th century there was some settlement at Ireland Green (the area around the present Gads Lane), Cutler's End (now Lambert's End), and Old End (the present Richard Street area)."
