	It looks as though Dionysius was a name passed down in the Law family .................. I've found births dating back to 1699 in Haslingden on the web site lancsopc These seem to be the ones most likely to be "yours" , wiht the earliest being a little old and the last a little young. ..............

Mar 1794 St James, Haslingden, Lancashire, England Dyonysius Law - Son of Joseph Law & A__ Source: LDS Film 1068835 EDIT .............. if the death found by safc is correct, then the 1794 birth fits ..... died 1826, age 32 = born ca 1794.

	Noticed that he married Nanny Tunstall. Is Nanny an actual name? Are there records of her dying or did she marry again as the children were so young. Pat
Member Since: April 2004 Posts: 46,062 Send Message	SylviaInCanada	Report	25 May 2017 21:15
	I've answered that question above ....... ....... Nanny and Nancy are interchangeable BUT Nanny was also used as an "actual" name. Nanny is also interchangeable with Ann(e)

	Nanny was baptised Nancy .......... this os possibly her baptism as she had children called Thomas and Elizabeth (and I cannot find a Nanny / Nancy with parents James and Elizabeth born around the correct time and in the correct place) Baptism: 6 Apr 1794 All Saints, Wigan, Lancashire, England Nancy Tunstall - third Daur. of Thomas Tunstall & Betty (formerly Snape) Born: 1 Mar Abode: Standish Parish Occupation: Farmer Mother's Parents: Richard & Mary Snape Register: Baptisms 1779 - 1799, Page 349 Source: Original register at Wigan Archives

	Joseph ............. not really, except it is rather needless duplication ..... personally, I just scroll right through duplicated posts! Equally, I try to always double check to see if any of the information has been posted before I post anything ...... though I don't always succeed in avoiding duplication! I do swear at myself when I do post duplications as it means wasted effort.

	Pat ............ I find it complicates things when you post new information on a prior post! For example, you added a question re whether Nanny / Nancy had re-married or died several minutes later. It's confusing when it is not clea that you have done so. Please either add EDIT:- (new information) if you do that so that it is obvious OR, even better, a new post! You may think I'm being a stick-in-the-mud, nasty or whatever .............. but it does make life easier if helpers do not have to keep re-reading old posts to see if there is new information!
