Hi
The quote Elder or Younger would indicate a second marriage for the elder John, probably by Licence.
Do not know your family but suggest that the marriage 17th August 1746 Manchester
John Renshaw = Ann Holbrook of Stretford married by Licence, is the second marriage for John Snr.
He then produces in Stretford
Henry 1748. No status mentioned
Robert 1752 no status mentioned
(After sons marriage 1755)
Robert 1759 status elder
Then his son John Jnr marries Ann Gibbon 8.2.1755 and produces
Betty 1755 status John younger
James 1757. “. “. “
There is one exception that is a Betty 1756 no status given.
Think the vicar did a good job is separating the children.
There may be other children for both couples, but hope this explains the necessity for elder and
Younger.
