No you are not missing anything. They do both have a father named Thomas.Just to clarify at the moment: 1861 Mary (if she is the right one - mother Sarah Williams) was 15 and a living-in servant with a family in Baddiley, Nantwich. While Thomas was already married to Catherine and living in Northwich (if he is the right father). As we have discovered (if he is the same Thomas who married Sarah) there is some query over the dates.There are a lot of 'ifs' so maybe the only way is to buy a few certs. I am doubtful about the Mary whose mother is Sarah, I shall just have to work my way through but I value your comments in the meantime.

Hi Everyone
I now have the birth certs for both Mary born Nantwich and Mary Elizabeth born Witton, which is Northwich where most of the family lived.
Mary Nantwich b.1856 f.Thomas m.Sarah Williams f.occ. Jobbing Labourer.
Mary Elizabeth Witton b. 1860 f.Thomas m.Catherine Clark f.occ. General Labourer.
To just re-cap: Would you say it is safe to say that Mary lied about her age on her marriage cert. and also dropped her middle name because she was well under age ie 15 at the time. William was definitely 19 as I have his birth cert. and although they would have been living in the Northwich area William had relations in the Oldham area and so because of the circumstances they married in Chorlton. Mary has given diff. d.o.b. on each census but on one she does state 1860 and also her age at death in 1930 states 70yrs which again makes d.o.b. 1860. Apart from this, nowhere can I find any mention again of a Mary Elizabeth Foxley, other than on the 1871 census.
Hope all this makes sense.
Looking forward to any replies. :-)
