A Joseph Hassall married Elizabeth Garratt in Wrenbury, Cheshire in 1811- IGI. Wrenbury<10 m NE of Adderley
1841C . Cannot find her, nor her father in this in FMP. She, 25, servant, could possibly be in Northwich, but says b. Cheshire- which might be true, just baptised once the family moved to Shropshire. There is a Joseph, wife Ann with daughter Ann,but born 1826 living Frankton Ellesmere, Shropshire- a long way to the West - near Wem. Another in Northwood, Ellesmere- also near Wem.
An Elizabeth Hassall, 50, independent is living with Elizabeth 25, William 25, miller, and Eliza 20, both girls dress makers, in Nantwich Cheshire in 1841C. She born Cheshire, the children not - this fits with the Wrenbury marriage and the children baptised in Shropshire . So, her father dead, likely ~1827
