Wasn’t there a site specifically for Lancs wills? I know I got some early ones ages ago. I didn’t have FMP at that time.

Thanks.
I'll add the suspect to my list of wanted certs. As I don't know his age or where exactly he was living and have a 20 year time frame for the death I need an informant or occupation to be listed to know if it is him.

Libby - it's John Walter.
He lived in Manchester, Lancashire. He married Frances Saxon on 1 Dec 1813 at St Mary, St Denny and St George. He was married previously, wife unknown but I suspect it was in 1791 to a Sarah Nicholson, but I have no proof and can't see the original image. He had 8 children, starting wit Sarah in about 1815 and finishing with James in 1832. He doesn't appear on a census with his family but Frances is not a widow until 1861. Daughter Ellen Louisa b 1830 is OH's direct relative. She married Isaac Newton in 1848, who disappears and she is with Thomas Henry Thompson by 1856 when they have a daughter together. Ellen is missing on the 1851 census so I have no idea if she is with Isaac or Thomas at that point. There may be threads about some of this but a new sub had me looking to fill in John's life and I've failed miserably.

The John WALTER who died in 1853 was 60 if that's an help. Makes a previous marriage unlikely.

It's surprising that the John Walter aged 60 in 1851 (prob the same one who died in 1853!) b Ireland and with two sons born Ireland at a date that should preclude him from being anything to do with Frances, is also living in Manchester and is also a shoemaker! Of course he is also too young if the first marriage was in 1791. Have you found children from the first marriage and traced them forward?
