Looks like a second marriage for both of them. Also Annie also known as Nancy?

Andy

ok guys...so am i reading this right.

thomas cowburn's mother was Elizabeth who remarried Thomas Holcroft? so was Thomas's father ....so confused.com :- :-(

\Thanks Andy...so annie moorfield and thomas cowburn were both married before...so annie had willie.....but did my grandfather John come from another mother?

Andy is there anyway I can give you access to view my tree as i am incredibly confused now

Deborah, it would seem that Thomas Cowburn's mother Elizabeth was not married when she had Thomas, as on the 1911 she had been married 13 years and Thomas was 19

Andy sorry to keep asking questions but do we know what elizabeths maiden name was please

Likely baptism for Thomas

Baptism: 5 Jun 1892 All Saints, Hindley, Lancashire, England
Thomas Cowburn - [Child] of Elizabeth Cowburn
Born: 17 Sep 1891
Abode: Bridgewater St
Occupation: Pitbrow
Baptised by: C.J.Buckmaster Vicar
Register: Baptisms 1886 - 1893, Page 179, Entry 1427
Source: LDS Film 93748

Elizabeth's name is Cowburn, she wasn't married before her marriage to Thomas Holcroft as it states she is a spinster on the marriage.

i actually think i have got into a total pickle..... :-| :-| :-|

Just looking at your tree Deborah, and sending baptisms for John and Joseph and then working back,
