Baptism names mummy and daddy as Betsy and John 

1841 living Town End Cartmel - just him 8 months and Betsy 30 and John 25 on census.

[Milliepede]

By 1871 he is a stone mason married to Sarah and has 4 young children - John 6 - Sarah Jane 4 - Elizabeth 2 - Mary 2 months.

By 1881 there are 5 more children - Thomas 8 - William 6 - George 4 - Lucy 2 - Dora baby -

and 3 more by 1891 - Charles 8 - Albert 6 - Jessie 3 - so plenty of people to investigate.

Thank you Carole and milliepede for replies. Looking at the number of children they had it was obviously before tele’s had been invented! 😳
Here’s wishing you both a Merry Christmas and a Healthy New Year.

GRO has Thomas W /Janes Mothers maiden name as NEWBY
Cant find a Marriage for John Thompson to a Betty (or Elizabeth) Newby though.

But there is this Marriage though on LancsOPC

No Father named for Elizabeth***
Witnesses: Mary Thompson; Thomas Pennington

Also 1841 Census has;

On Census Betsy Thompson is born c 1805-1808 Cartmel

BAPTISM:

MARRIAGE;

I cant see at this stage why Elizabeth (Betsy) is saying she is single when she married 1838.
