Mary Kendall

She is listed as being 11 years old in the 1851 census. She was living with her uncle and his family in addition to her siblings at this time.

She is listed as being 21 years old, unmarried and a house servant in the 1861 census.

She is listed as being 29 years old, unmarried and a general servant in the 1871 census.

She is listed as being 39 years old, unmarried and a charwoman in the 1881 census. She was a lodger with Hannah and John Ryder, living with her son Ernest Kendall at the time.

She is listed as being 49 years old, single and a charwoman in the 1891 census. She was a lodger with Hannah and John Ryder, living with her son Ernest Kendall at the time. Their last name is listed as "Kendle" in this census.

She gave her older son James to John Morfitt and Martha Sutcliffe Morfitt to raise. James is initially listed as their nephew in the 1871 census, but in the 1881 census, he is listed as their son. It is unclear if there is a biological connection though or if the term "nephew" is used loosely. There does not seem to be any evidence that Martha Sutcliffe Morfitt and Mary Kendall were sisters.

It appears that Mary Kendall kept her younger son Ernest with her and was unmarried and living with him when he was 6 years old along in the 1881 census with Hannah Sutcliffe Ryder (Martha Sutcliffe Morfitt's sister) and her husband. They were also boarders with them in the 1891 census. In later years, Ernest is living with his wife along with Hannah and Hannah is listed as being an aunt. Again, it is unclear if there is a biological connection or if that term is used loosely. There does not seem to be any evidence that Hannah Sutcliffe Ryder and Mary Kendall were sisters.
