Dorothy Fenton marries John Pye in 1861. Could Dorothy be related to Mark Fenton?

Hi Flip,

Yes - I have Mark + Margaret's marriage cert and I have Mary Jane's birth cert which shows her mother as Jane Fenton formerly Woodroffe.

Thanks Ginns - I will see if I can follow 'that' Margaret through now..........

Not finding anything for Margaret, but a possible for Jane in 1871? But she has no children.

Thomas appears to have dropped 5 years off his age in 1881 and is with new wife Mary Ann.

Mark's father was George, whereas Dorothy's was Thomas so it could follow that Dorothy was Mark's aunt.

The Margaret Fenton on the 1871 with the Pye's was born Bolton - does that fit?

Still with the Pye couple

Looks like we can forget about that girls then, if she was born a Fenton

Father's Name:John Fenton <<<<<<<<<Labourer

Mother's name:Nancy Fenton

Reference Number:

Looks unlikely Dea. I wonder if Mark/Jane never married because he was not free to marry?

He marries Margaret in January, but by the time of the census was living with his mother - maybe Margaret just up and left, and ended up living with someone else as well - just a thought.

Thanks Flip - You are probably right :-(

It was worth a try though Ginns . This has puzzled me for many years now and I keep going back to it but I don't think I am ever going to sort it out :-(

I will keep looking............

Thanks to everyone for your help. <3

Dea

Who were the witnesses on Margaret and Mark' marriage cert?

They were 'his' relatives Ginns - George and Emma Fenton.

No help there then.

Dea x

Witness'e to Margaret and Mark were George and Emma Fenton.
There is a copy on a Ancestry tree.

If Margaret was born 1853 she would have only been 15 when Thomas Fenton was born in Manchester.

Maryb.

Thanks Mary - that is a copy of 'my' cert. The person originally had the wrong wife for Mark so I sent a copy through to him as proof.

Both Margaret and Jane would have been very young at the time of Thomas's birth.

No Ginns - that is a different Mark + Margaret Fenton just to confuse matters.

Dea x

Going back to the mother's marriage to Peter Statham in 1864 - they both gave the address of Temperance Street, but weren't there on 1861/1871 census - I can't find Peter in 1861. He'd been married 16/2/1839 to Charlotte Rogerson, then 4/8/1844 to Ann Booth.

However, the point is there is an Alex mcLoughlin (1821) with daughter Margaret living at 18 Temperance St in 1871, although she is a bit old at 22. Just wondered if there could be some connection.

Thanks Flip,

Margaret's father was John but I will look further into that one just in case.

Have to go cook lunch now or hubby will explode.

Will be back later.

Thanks to all who are trying to help.
