Hi maureen,

Regarding Magaret, well i hope so, they are going to let me know!!

Also asked about WTW i think i have to say that WTW was married to Betty had a Amelia, then a fling with Sarah, Sarah had Eda, sarah and Eda then went and lived with John Donley and thats that.

I bet the Whittaker family don't know about it!!

They may if they ever read this thread Ups!

Nice to hear from you and Dea again, have a great weekend, hope Dea is feeling well.

Hi Maureen.

Yes i think you are correct, Lord seems vey a very common name in Lancashire around the mid 1800's.

I also could not find any more info on the WTW ? Sarah and Louisa.

the thread seems to be going a little cold with info on WTW and Sarah, without finding a marriage it will be hard.

Regards Simon.

Hi Barbara.

Thank you.

Yes thats the one, but i think now someone i think Dea had said she was matched with Calderbank.

Also just gone back and noticed on page 4 of this thread June found a Louise born to parents Whittaker Thorpe Whittake and Sarah Whittaker, at that stage it never clicked, this must be them, i can't imagine another W THORPE W.

This may be a good one to trace backwardsand forward, "can anyone help" me with this please.

Kind regards Simon.

Evening Maureen,

How are you, yes i noticed next door yesterday, If we end up not finding a marriage, i think the link is Betty! not sure why, i just get a feeling!, i am sure on one search i did Betty or Elizabeth was a Lord!! i can't find it again though!

Thank you for keeping on the trail, it's very kind.

Hello to All.

I have found WTW on the 1871 census living with Betty and daughter Amelia, she must be named after her mother, i will see what i can find 1881.

Good Evening barbara.

Thank you, that looks like the chap, as i put him at around 35 when Eda was born, and i can't imagine another WTW.

I wonder if we can track him, i am sure i did find a WW married to a betty Lord but not a Sarah.

Hope you are well.

Regards Simon.
