Hi long distant cousin Janet,

I know this post was some time ago but there may be some more info to confuse the issue.....
Mary Hargreaves is listed in the Craven Indexes St Andrews Kildwick as a widow. So it will be her married name that will appear on the marriage register.
I then went hunting in the Parish Registers for a Mary who married a Hargreaves to find a James Hargreaves who married a Mary BAXTER 10.1.1770 daughter of John Baxter and Mary WILSON christened 30.7.1749.
James Hargreaves dies in 3.3.1781 having had 4 children John 23.2.1772, Stephen 11.12.1774, James 9.2.1777.and Mary 13.1.1779 - 14.3.1779
Mary was listed as a weaver when she married James Hargreaves

Mary then marries John Pighels/Pickles 12.7.1781

So this is a possibility for our Mary Hargreaves?? Any thoughts?

The Source used here may then be incorrect as it would have Mary being married to John when she was 14 ( a minor) if the 7 Jun 1767 birth date is correct.
