The only known information that I have about her parents is that her father's name was Jeremy.
I have posted previously about Edward Woolley and family (X00042). Mary Woolley is living with that family in the 1841 census. As well, I have posted about Thomas Woolley and family (X00399). Thomas' granddaughter, Martha is listed as a neice of Mary Woolley in the 1871 census.
Since, then, I have also come across a baptism record for a Catharine Wooley who was born about 1805 in Montgomeryshire, Wales, and is the daughter of a Jeremiah Woolley.
Other possible connections that I have found - a John Woolley and family that appear on the on the same page as Edward Woolley on the 1841 census and a Joseph Woolley who appears on the same page as Mary Hannah Woolley on the 1901 census.
So, here is the current list of possible connections to investigate:
| Individual | Birth Year | Birth Location | Connection to Mary Woolley |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mary Wooley | ca. 1809 | Heapey, Lancashire, England | |
| Edward Woolley | ca. 1791 | Lancashire, England | Mary Woolley living in same household in 1841 |
| Thomas Woolley | ca. 1801 | Llanidloes, Montgomeryshire, Wales | Granddauther Martha listed as niece to Mary Woolley in 1871 census |
| Catherine Woolley | ca. 1805 | Montgomeryshire, Wales | Has a father named Jeremiah Woolley |
| John Woolley | ca. 1806 | Lancashire, England | Appears on same page as Edward Woolley in 1841 census |
| Joseph Woolley | ca. 1841 | Blackburn, Lancashire, England | Appears on same page as Mary Hannah Woolley in 1901 census |
Joseph Wooley is not from the same generation, but the others could all be siblings to Mary Woolley. Edward Woolley is the only one old enough to possibly be from the generation before, perhaps a brother to Jeremiah Woolley?
So, there are a lot of potential connections to investigate further
