The use of both Cross and Capstick for Ellen's second marriage would usual suggests divorce from rather than death of the first husband, but here you say Richard Capstick definitely died

Sorry jaywit - a small diversion from your query for anyone who doesn't know this. 
The GRO marriage index, at some times, shows a divorced woman indexed both under her previous married name and her maiden name.
 I don't think that widows are indexed this way at any time, although of course the certificate itself will normally give both names.

The UKBMD indexes https://www.ukbmd.org.uk/
(which don't cover all counties) sometimes show maiden and previous married names for marriages, and also birth registrations, regardless of whether the wife/mother was widowed or divorced.  I don't know what governs whether they are shown or not, but I know  that they aren't always.

I'm not sure that it isn't your Ellen Maria marrying Harry Grimshaw in 1927 in Barrow.  Cumbria BMD shows Ellen M. under both Cross and Capstick.

Lancashire BMD shows a Joan Grimshaw born in 1928, indexed with both mother's previous names - Cross and Capstick.

Ellen Grimshaw born 7 January 1900 is at 42 Beaumont Place, Lancaster - married but husband not present - with one redacted person.
Ancestry also has the electoral roll for Lancaster 1939, where Harry and Ellen Maria Grimshaw are both shown at 42 Beaumont Place.

There's a Hannah Lowndes baptised 10 June 1804 at Mobberley d/o Samuel and Ann.
Or Hannah Lowndes d/o Martha 7 April 1805 at Mobberley

If your matches have (reasonably) accurate trees which are linked to their DNA result, they should show up in Thrulines. 
(It can be a bit frustrating when you can tell from  someone's tree how they are related to you, but  Thrulines and the common ancestor feature don't work because their tree is unlinked)

Cornwall / Re: Birth and marriage not found
« on: Friday 19 April 24 14:45 BST (UK)  »
Nothing showing, with connection to Cornwall, in FreeBMD, nor Ancestry for Sydney Tann.  However, there is a death in Cornwall for Thomas Sidney Tann, plus birth and marriage registrations for Thomas S Tann in Cornwall/Devon.



There is a younger man, who appears to be the son of Thomas Sidney Tann, born in 1946.  He died in 2006 registered as Michael Thomas Sidney Tann - although the birth index shows Thomas M S Tann.  He was married in 1968 in St Austell.

Until the 'no-fault' divorce became law on 1 January 1971, only the 'innocent' partner in a marriage could initiate divorce proceedings - or choose not to do so.

I think Caroline is Thomas Wright's wife.  Thomas (being older than Susan) was probably already married by 1841, so the witnesses to Susan's marriage - T. Wright and Caroline Wright would be her brother and s-i-l.

Thomas Wright 24 bachelor s/o William Wright gardener married Caroline Smith 28 widow d/o Francis Saunders at Walthamstow 18 November 1840.  (transcript only - witnesses not included)

Caroline Wright in censuses gives her birthplace as Dunstable, Bedfordshire.  There is a matching baptism of Caroline Saunders d/o Francis and Martha in 1812, and a marriage at Dunstable in 1831 of Caroline Saunders to Thomas Smith.

England / Re: could a will lead to finding great grandmothers grave
« on: Monday 15 April 24 12:57 BST (UK)  »
By chance I have just read a will written in 2002 in which the testator requests that the ashes of her husband be placed in her coffin, along with those of her two dogs, before her own cremation.  After this, she wanted the ashes to be spread "over my garden".

Thank you so much . Did you find Baptist for my relative Mary Ann ? I have found Susan in 1851 census  living with mum , Ann

Not so far. 
I see that Susan Wright is with Thomas and Caroline in 1841 census.
