Michael SOLLY
Set As Default Person -
Name Michael SOLLY Relationship 
with Teresa Ann GOATHAM Born Abt 1806 Northdown, Margate, Kent, England
- From the 1861 census where shown as aged 53 (suggesting 1807-8), the 1871 census where shown as aged 65 (suggesting 1805-6) and the age in the death registration index (suggesting 1805-6)
Gender Male Occupation From 1836 to 1841 Labourer - When his daughter Mary Ann was baptised and at the time of the 1841 census
Occupation 1851 Mariner Residence From 1861 to 1881 Cottage, Northdown House, Northdown, Margate, Kent, England
- Shown as living in a cottage in the grounds in 1881, simply shown as a cottage in 1861 but listed immediately after the lodge to Northdown House, in which the coachman, Henry Watson, and his family were living. Although all are simply shown as 'Northdown' in 1871, again the Solly family are shown after the Friends at what is clearly Northdown House, and the Watsons at the lodge.
Occupation 1861 Northdown, Margate, Kent, England
Ag Lab Occupation 1871 Northdown, Margate, Kent, England
Labourer Occupation 1881 Northdown Mansion, Northdown, Margate, Kent, England
Gardener - Shown in the census as living in a cottage in the grounds of the mansion, so it would seem that was where he was a gardener. (Two more gardeners lived in another cottage in the grounds, and a groom in another).

Family Mary Ann HERITAGE, b. 4 May 1809, Reading Street, St. Peters, Broadstairs, Kent, England
, d. Yes, date unknown Married - Both the censuses and the baptism registers suggest Michael and Mary Ann had just the two children, or at least just two who were baptised. Given the long gap between Sarah's birth and baptism and the high rates of infant mortality it is possible they had others who died without being baptised. (I have not checked the burial register)
