Thomas Cole

I'm trying to find the marriage of Thomas Cole (sometimes spelled Coal) to Jane ???. Thomas was born in 1792 and he and Jane had four children - Anne, Joseph, Rachel and Ester. Anne was born about 1820 and she's the eldest, so I'm guessing the marriage was within a year or two of that but I can't find anything. Thomas was born in St. Helens, Lancashire, but I've no idea where Jane was born.

Thanks.

Thanks safc. That's the correct family but I can't find Thomas and Jane's marriage anywhere.

Thanks, but not the right family. The Joseph Naylor and Ann shown in the 1841 census are my ancestors. Ann is Ann Cole, daughter of Thomas and Jane.

Thomas is living with Elizabeth Cross (Housekeeper) in 1851. Could she be his mother in law?

Thanks Christina. It's possible but since their first child (that I can find) was born about 1820 then marriage date seems a bit far out.

Thanks Christina, with the baptisms of the earlier children you've added it now makes more sense. Looks like you might be right about it being Jane Cross.
