Hi kathleen, the witness dont help at all they are Richard Charles Cockton and Mary Mulholland, no clues there.

Hi Elouise, thanks for anwering, no siblings only have the two names, from the marriage certificate.

Who were the witnesses on the marriage certificate? Do they give any clues?

I wouldn't take ages on death certificates to be definite either, as it all depends on the informant's knowledge and memory. I have death certificates where the age is out be 5 years - even my grandmother's headstone has the wrong age on it!!

Hi Kathleen
William was 76 in 1933 when he died, so William the sailor is not of the right age, and it says definitly he was a tailor ob Margarets marriage certificate,
The 2 Williams born in Lancashire open a possiblity.
but thank you so much for your time.

Thanks Linda, will keep an open to see if there is a connection

Hello Pam, had a quick look on BMD, and couldnt tie her with any there

Is it possible that all the Regan's came from Ireland and that is why they are not on the 1901 census?

Margaret Regan, aged 23, father William Regan occupation Tailor, living at 92 Stenhouse St, Workington, Cumberland, married Thomas Starkie aged 27, father William Starkie (deceased) living at 33 Blackburn St, Workington.
l have William Regans death aged 76 in 1933 so his birth was around 1857 but were??
l could not see the Regans in this area in the 1901 census.

Any Help or advice would be appreciated
A happy Christmas to everyone, from Canada
