Looking at Lancs OPC, abode is Inskip for all the children's baptisms 1787 - 1802. Now there are 3 baptisms at St Michael, Kirkham, before those - William 21 Apr 1776, James 21 Sep 1779 and Alice 9 Feb 1782, with abode Trales. Presumably Treales, which isn't that far from Inskip, so quite likely to be the same family. But my Rawlinsons have an Alice in 1799 so I need to find a burial for the first one. If it is the same family then my estimate of when Margaret was born is way off!

Ah, there seems to have been another Thomas Rawlinson and Margaret, as a Margaret wife of Thomas died in 1808 age 72, abode Eaves, so they could well be the parents of the Trales three but couldn't be the parents of the Inskip ones.

Found a likely burial for my Margaret - 1 Feb 1839 at St Anne Woodplumpton, Margaret Rawlinson age 74, abode Moss House, Catforth. There is also a Thomas Rawlinson buried 19 Sep 1837 age 73, same address. And that's the address where my Betty, daughter of Thomas and Margaret, lived, so it must be the right people! So Thomas and Margaret were both born about 1764. *corrects tree*

Hmm, there is this marriage at Kirkham:

Thomas Rawlinson of this parish and township of Trales and Margaret Willacey of this parish and township of Wharles were married in this church (Kirkham) by licence this twenty eight day of July 1785
witnesses John Swann and J Southwood.

Fits with the dates of my Thomas and Margaret's children's baptisms and not with the earlier Kirkham ones.

There are two possible baptisms for Margaret on Lancs OPC:
Margaret Willacy baptised 4 Mar 1764 St Michael on Wyre, daughter of George Willacy, abode Inskip
Margret Willicy baptised 24 Nov 1765 St Anne Woodplumpton, daughter of Lenard Willicy, abode Catford.
