The address doesn't tally with 1871 census...........

Think betty was born out of wedlock I seem to remember. Not certain if Thomas was dad or not.
It's a difficult one. I'm not sure I'll ever get to the bottom of it...Thomas or Ann...but I keep going back to it. :-)

Yes..Thomas had second marriage to Agnes. But think then it was 1881 when he was living over towards Pendle. I think it was with one of his sons. But he actually died in Burnley where he was living with another of his sons. Think Agnes had recently died but not sure.

Just checked...Agnes died 1881 so perhaps that's why he went to live with either son or daughter Jane.

Oh maybe Thomas and Agnes fell out because he was not living with her in 1881 . She died in December quarter did Agnes. Thanks for finding her in 1881 .....I didn't know s h e was living up there with the briggs. Cheers for that. :-)

They must not have married but she took his name anyway. Wonder why they never married. Strange.

Thought I'd seen a wedding. It is down as Thomas duxberry and Agnes fairburne in 1867. Burnley. :-)

Yes...married Agnes fairburne/fairburne in 1867 in Burnley.

Kicking myself...........forgot to tick the 'phonetic surname search'. :-(

As her father's name was not recorded, and he was 'deceased', you will probably have to accept that she didn't know who he was.

Immanuel records on line start at 1837.

S,o to get any further with this, you'd need to visit the Records Office in Preston. Or contact them, and ask whether they carry out searches.
