Hello, I am too a direct descendant of Thomas and Grace Duckworth, but through their daughter Grace (Edward's sister). The younger Grace's daughter Mally was first cousin of Betty and Ellen Duckworth. Thomas and his wife Grace had quite a number of children, the christening/baptism records for them show Thomas was a husbandman before he was an innkeeper (he became innkeeper of the Stag in Rishton, later called the Roebuck, in about 1750)
