I think the maiden name of Mary Ann Towers was Leyland but I'm still working on that to find a marriage. I've found 14 of the 15 children. (Poor woman)
Can't find out as yet who's aunt she was as yet. Margaret's or Edwards.
Thanks for the help

(between FMP and Ancestry, there is probably a lot more for families, if you have a subscription to either)

Thanks Chris for that. No wonder I couldn't find ithe marriage as the name as Mary's name is down at Laylon. I use Lancashire bmd as most of the families come from the Preston area.
Later in the day I will study it.
