Other marriages:

GROGAN, William

Mary Ann's mother, Margaret, died in November 1880 at the very young age of 23 years (during Childbirth?). Two years old Mary Ann was with her father in Oswaldtwistle when the 1881 Census was taken. In 1891, she is living with another family in Cherry Street, Blackburn and described as adopted.

It looks as though Mary Ann and William Grogan 'had to get married'. They married towards the end of 1900 and their son Stephen was born in January 1901. In March 1901, when the Census was taken, they were living with William's father in Hutchinson Street, which was in the Grimshaw Park district of Blackburn. The marriage was not a success and Mary Ann left William Grogan some time before 1906, when it is thought that her next child, Thomas, was fathered by William Jackson. Sadly, Thomas died within a few months. DNA testing has proven that William Jackson was definitely the father of her next child, who was baptised Thurston Jackson Grogan. It seems certain therefore that all of her subsequent children were with William Jackson.

All of the children's births were registered with the surname Grogan as were their baptisms.

When the 1911 Census was taken Mary Ann is living with William Jackson in Back Friday Street (close to Hutchinson Street). William answered most of the questions truthfully; William states that he is Single, Mary Ann as a married Boarder but the two living children, Stephen and Thurston, were described as Sons of the Head (only Thurston was). Mary Ann's father William is also Boarding at that address.

In 1911, William Grogan was living in a Registered Common Boarding House, also in the Grimshaw Park area, he declares that he is married (11 years) and, truthfully, says he has one child still living.

In the 1921 Census, and in the l939 Register however, Mary Ann and William Jackson are both shown as married and all of William's children are listed with the Jackson surname   No marriage record has been found - the most likely reason for this is that Mary Ann and William Grogan did not divorce.

In 1939, William Grogan was still living in a lodging house in the Grimshaw Park and still stating that he was married.
