I agree with Beverley but you need to get her marriage cert to see if her fathers name and occupation matches up

Why do you say 'nothing definite', Robert?

It looks clear that Mary Ellen was born in March 1866 as a Rawnsley. Her parents didn't marry till December of that year at which point she took the name Hirst.

Well nothing definate here, but thanks to all.
