Although the 1861 census states she is unmarried, it turns out Hannah was the widow of William Bates who had died in 1860.

She married Irishman Martin Burke in 1863 and the Bates children are recorded as Burke in 1871 census.

1842 YATES Abraham ROLINSON Ann West Bromwich, All Saints Sandwell Register Office 22/2/187

I did get the certificate and it turned out her father was John Rolinson, coal miner, confirming that she was the sister and not the cousin of my 2G grandfather.

I have written a blogpost about them here http://kaysfamilystories.blogspot.com/2010/08/abraham-yates-and-ann-rolinson.html

flagging now to archive this unless you need anything else Kay
