	Hi William Thankyou for your message. It is best to reply on here so that other members can see your reply. What leads you to believe that James's parents are not the above William and Martha? Just so we can rule that one out. Prickles.

Member Since: July 2005 Posts: 10,667 Send Message	PM from William Thank you for your reply. I think this is the correct line to follow. Ann died at the age of 28. William is shown as a lodger in the 1871 census. What happened to James he is not on the 1871 census but he is mentioned in the 1881 census as a lodger with a family in Manchester. Thanks again William

	Well spotted Prickles. So looks like William is Sarah's brother-in-law. So probably Ann has died? I just wonder if the age on the death posted earlier for Ann Parkey is correct?

It would make her born 1837/8, a similar age to William found by Rootgatherer, but not for Ann Schofield Civil Registration event: Death Name: PARKEY, Ann Registration district: Ashton under Lyne County: Lancashire Year of registration: 1866 Quarter of registration: Apr-May-Jun Age at death: 28 Volume no: 8D Page no: 405
