Could she be the Mary Bansston recorded aged 20 in Little Marsden Whalley in the 1841 census? She is a weaver living with the Berry family.

Someone has already suggested on Ancestry that she is Mary Bannister.

my mystery as been solved,parents of Mary Bannister are.
Thomas Bannister and Mary Blackburn this comes from information found in a family members family tree.

Thomas Bannister a widower married Mary Blackburn in 1824 in Colne.  Have you found your Mary’s baptism yet?

[tancor2]

Oh well if that is the case better tell my distant cousin who's tree i got the information that Mary Blackburn is probably not Mary's mother.
Have no information on her baptism.
Well i think it is about time to give up on trying to find these few facts that i need to complete my tree, and call it a day.

[Gibel]

You Mary could come from Thomas’ first marriage whenever that was.

[tancor2]

that is the problem now to try and find a previous marriage for Thomas, so i am back to square one.

I now feel that we have two Thomas Bannisters because i found the following two marriages on Lan Opc.
Thomas married Jane Thompson at St Peters church Burnley on 1 jun 1823.
Thomas married Mary Blackburn at St Bartholomews Colne on 28 Dec 1823 on this it states he is a widower.
I have found a tree on Family search for a Thomas married to a Jane Thompson and they had 7 children the last one born in 1845 and mary is not mentioned as one of their children.
So i now believe that we have a family in the Burnley  area and a separate family in the Colne area. which was Marsden in his time.
And as our family is more in the Colne /Nelson area i think the Colne one is most likely.
I have lived in Nelson all my life and majority of my family are this area

Well many months have past and still cannot find a first marriage for marys father,so this is one brick wall i cannot break, i have run out of ideas to were to look next.
