Thank you Erika and Maddie. I believe that Cannon is in fact Agnes first married name and that William Quiggin Greenlaw from 1841 is her fourth child with her second husband William.

That is Eleanor with the man I believe to be her half brother in 1861. I believe that John and Eleanor Wasdale mentioned on the 1841 census are Agnes parents and that this is her maiden name. I believe John and Eleanor Wasdale are living with their daughter Eleanor and her husband Joseph and their grandson Thomas who I think is Agnes first child with her first husband John Oswald Cannon.

I have ordered Thomas marriage certificate to confirm who his father is.

Thank you for Agnes birth and death.

Thank you for the 1851 census and death Maddie. William was William Quiggin Greenlaw. Quiggin was his mother’s maiden name. Thank you also for confirming Janes death.

William and Agnes married in 1837 and I believe it is Agnes second marriage. I believe that her youngest daughter Eleanor is working as a servant for her half brother in 1861. I’m waiting on the certificates to confirm this.
