Thank you all again and thank you heywood for joining in.  I obviously had the wrong Teresa for parents etc.  I'll delete them!

I did have a year for JB and Teresa's marriage but not like the one you sent with the latin or Irish names, so thank you for that.

What is a surprise is the birth record for Emily Ann. I did have Emily Ann in the tree as a daughter of Mary Ann and Thomas Freel (her previous husband although I can't find a marriage for them) but I thought she was with Freel before JB so that would probably be right if Emily Ann was 8 in 1901 but I can't work out where the name Blake fits in!

More information makes for more puzzles.

Hope you had an enjoyable dinner

It looks like there was a previous wife and mother called Blake.  I have a Thomas Freel b.1833 whose mother was Mary Ann Wilson-McMullen.  Maybe John Thomas Freel had another wife before Mary Ann.  He would be grandchild to JB McMullen.

This just gets more complicated by the minute!

Thanks Rosie99, I haven't come across this site before.

It is excellent for Lancashire but is ongoing (done by volunteers)  I gather from a friend who transcribes that they are trying to get Catholic records on as well

Thanks again Rosie99 for the link, every site contributes.  I will be interested in the Catholic records too, I have quite a lot of Irish people in my Tree.

It does seem complicated and I am doubting myself even though it looks right!
