This is confusing!!
1911 same address as 1881 but different wife. Says married 19 years so 1892 the year he married Janet Kirk Bleackley. No marriage found to the 1911 lady, Maria. It is Maria who is mentioned in Williams probate that Gins found.

EDIT.....1911 reads Mercia as in Williams Probate

1911

1881...the MMN for both Frank and Henry (+ William 1865). We're all Stowe but I can't find a marriage for William and Penelope Stowe or a birth for her which re death should be about 1843

I see what you mean now .


birthplace - Blackburn and a ""British Subject By Parentage"" the address is Dutton Manor, Longridge.

It appears Ancestry has double up on this family as another 1911 census has the same families put together.

Welcome to the boards, Kenneth.

Have you checked the image to know if it is definitely Thom, or could it be Thorn?

Thanks
