I still haven't found a marriage for William Walker to Mary Barrett/Lee. I'm wondering about reasons they might not have married.... (I'm bothered when people don't marry at this time in history when there doesn't seem to be an obvious reason for not marrying)
We know that Richard Barrett died, so Mary was a widow, so that's not an issue.
Maybe there was a problem because William was Cof E and Mary was probably RC.
William could have married someone else between 1851 (if that's him single in Wigan) and when he got together with Mary (probably after the death of Richard Barrett) and maybe William's wife was still living.
Anyway, I can't do any more now as I have to go and pick up my groceries.....
