In 1843 there are two Oliver Wilsons born in Lancs (LAncsbmd) but the one born Prston does indeed have MMN as Nightingale. (Other one is MMN Ball).

OC, the other children that Merry mentioned in the 1851 census also tie up to mother maiden name Nightingale (the ages for Grace and Jane accidently swoped though), William also married Ellen Nightingale in 1843 (Also Lancs BMD), the year Oliver was born. Just wish I could say for certain it is her. Will have to see what the RO replies with regards the reformatory stay I suppose

I was bothered that the first Margaret was baptised just a short time before Oliver, but I wonder if she was born before the marriage and baptised just after? The marriage was Q1 1843 and Margaret's bap 16th Aptil 1843, Oliver was bap 3rd Sept 1843.

My gut tells me this is the right one, especially since she is the only one that comes up on Family search with father William, born Preston at about the correct time.
Just that when you to a search on LancsBMD there are a few Margaret's born in Preston around that time and who's to say she didn't lie (being sceptical after all the other white lies told by previous generations) also when her youngest son Joesph died she claimed he was her only support but her other son John (probably out of town..for a while i.e. until he died) was still alive.

I am in my usual condition of confusion, but I can only see (on Lancsbmd) two Margarets with MMN Nightingale, one in 1850 and one in 1856. Can't see one at all in 1843 (or 42)?

OC there is a Margaret 1843 but MMN is Ashworth so she probably belongs to another family as you said earlier the other Oliver's mothers MMN was Ball. Which means that Merry and my gut are probably correct......*she says hoping not to have to retract*

Merry, I think she is the right one perhaps have Allan's granduer in my head from a previous post:

BY THE WAY a bit late to ask, but what were the reformatories for i.e. are they like the ones today?

Oh, hang on.....
Lancs BMD: WILSON Margaret Preston Preston TITHERINGTON PRES/22/57 FreeBMD: Births Jun 1843 Wilson Margaret Preston 21 591 So the above registrations (they are the same one) could refer to the first Margaret because the parents are another Wm and Ellen! Marriages Sep 1841 Bryce William Preston 21 374 EWBANKE Ann Preston 21 374 HULMES Margaret Preston 21 374 Parkinson Richard Preston 21 374 TAYLOR John Preston 21 374 Titterington Ellen Preston 21 374 <<<<<(misspelling??) WILCOCKSON Ellen Preston 21 374 WILSON William Preston 21 374 there are birth regs with mmn Titterington and Titherington, so I don't know which is right!! Anyway, it doesn't matter as long as they didn't have a living Margaret in 1855ish. Have to go mix a cake with dau now......
