First Child Isabella was born 1818- I cannot find her birth details. Thomas was a shopkeeper.
I also cannot find marriage details of Thomas and Isabella which would include maiden name.
Any help would be appreciated.
I wonder if Isabella was baptized elsewhere although she married
St John's Preston and
daughter Mary Ann Pierce 1848 bapt was at St John's
her sister Grace in 1861 & brothers Edward 1845 & John 1847 married St John's Preston
brothers Thomas 1848 St Mary Manchester, George 1849 St George Chorley, James 1856 St Peter Bolton and William 1866 St Peter Blackburn

This is the only marriage I can see before 1818 but doesn't give Thomas' occupation
