Trying to find Granfather s family

[Qwackers]

I looked at the 1861 ,census for william , his wife's name ann , it says she was born in Shevington which is about 2 and half miles from pemberton , with children peter 20, james 15 ,sam 11 john 2 and according to the tree there's another girl mary . what are your thoughts . ? thanks

Ann is William's wife in 1861 and 1871. She is older than Elizabeth and born in a different place, so William may have remarried. You need to examine the GRO birth indexes to see what the mmn is for each child as well as the marriage records for another marriage. I note there are children in the house older than William's first marriage!

There's a marriage of widower William Cartwright (father Peter) to Ann Twiner or Turner in 1854, so any children born after that should have Ann's surname as the mmn.

Elizabeth was buried 28 Jan 1853 at Wigan All Saints aged 31.

i found the marriage on lancs bmd to a ann turner , so you have found that he was remarried in1854 . so the mystery is solved of the name . he didn't waste much time after elizabeth died .
