Mary Ann Lyons 1880 - 1965?
Mary Ann Lyons 1880- 1965?. Eldest child of Michael Lyons & Mary Ann Dillon. Do not have her state b.c. Mary Ann Lyons born to Joseph & Mary Ann[nee Dillon] Lyons on 7/03/1880, baptised 28/03/1880, gps John Murphy & Mary Ann Foley, in Our Lady of Salette, Melior Street[ from parish records, seen there Aug.,2009]. This is almost one month before her parents married in the different Catholic Church of St.Georges !. Maybe Michael decided to change his name to Joseph on this b.c. & his m.c. for anonymity. By 1881, he has reverted to Michael in the censuses and on future b.cs. of his children.
1881C. Aged 1, living 1, Albert St., Bermondsey.[ A fair way from Freemans Lane but not far south of Sards Rents where her mother's family were. Think this has disappeared -maybe even by 1891, but, it was north and parallel to Abbey Street, which is an eastwards continuation of Long Lane] .There was one other family in the house as a separate household. Micheal (transcribed incorrectly) Lyons,19, waterman lighterman, wife Mary Ann,19, and 1 yr. old Mary Ann Lyons , all 3 born in Horsleydown.

1891C At 12, Curlew St, Horsleydown, in 2 rooms, Michael Lyon 29, waterman, Mary Ann 29, Mary Ann 11, Stephen 9, John 6, Michael 3, all born St.Johns. 3 other families in the house.

1901C.At 12, Curlew Street still, aged 21, single, a bookbinder folder.

1901 Dec 1901,1d.549, St Olave Bermondsey Mary Ann Lyons married Jeremiah Cokeley. He born 1874 St. Olave. Jeremiah Cokeley , 26, was in 1901C, was a general labourer
1911C, living in 3 rooms at 12 Curlew Street [same house as her parents: another family Langhelt of 4 in the same house in 2 rooms] in St Olave, Jeremiah Coakley, 36, leather warehouseman, Mary Ann 31, married 9 years, 3 children, none died, bookfolder, John 8 b.Mar 1903, Helen Agnes 6 b.Mar 1905 , Bernard Jeremiah 2 b.Dec 1908.

1915 Mary J Cokeley, mother Lyons, was born Jun. Died Mar 1916
1917.Joseph Cokeley, mother Lyons, was born Mar
1921. William P Coakley born..The surname seems to have continued as Coakley. She, Mary Ann Coakley, and her husband, with the 2 spellings of Cokeley, are in Rotherhithe Electoral Roll books up till 1939, with children John, Helen Agnes and Bernard . Oct 2009: none of these Cokeleys on Genes Reunited. Fate of any of her children?

Bernard J, mistranscribed, was a 'Buyer Tin Box ?Makers?'. Likely her mother, Mary Ann Lyons who was born 30/11/1861.
1945. Mar Deptford a Jeremiah Coakley dies, aged 70: this ties up with her husband's age in the censuses
1946-1957 Mary Ann Coakley with Helen A and Bernard J at 208 Malpas Road Lewisham in 1946, plus a William P Coakley in 1947, the same 5 Coakleys 1949-1955. Last listed there in 1957, without William P. or Joseph but John back!
1965. She could possibly die, Mary A Coakley, est.age 83 Stepney
John Coakley moves out of Curlew Street by 1935. Kathleen M Coakley probably marries Joseph Davies in 1938 Bermondsey. William P Coakley maybe marries Rochelle Coakley in 1959 Paddington . No other probable/fairly unique marriages for her other 6 children.
Sep. 2011: No matches on Genes Reunited for the Coakley family. And none on Ancestry.
