If you'd looked at Lancs OPC you would have seen their children were baptised at St Helens and they lived at Sutton. From the 1851 census Mary Owen was born about 1801 in Kirby, Lancs.

Was he a widower when he married Agnes? Or are there two Thomas Dentons?

agnes dennison ,married thomas denton in 1826 ormskirk ,i looked on family search 1841 , and they have changed the format and it doesn't give as much info , only children . so i don't know if it's the same person or not . On th banns it says there both from burcough

So, if you can't tell whether the Thomas Denton marrying Agnes in 1826 is the same person who married Mary Swift in 1822 from the marriage records (the groom signed and no condition given for the groom either time), you need to see if a Mary Denton died between those dates and, if there were any burials, do any of them look likely to be the wife of Thomas?

I checked burials all i could find is children and babies .

OK.

EDIT - Oh, there's this one:

Burial: 6 Sep 1824 St Cuthbert, Halsall, Lancashire, England
Mary Benton -
Age: 22 Years
Abode: Burscough
Buried by: Rich.Loxham Rector
Register: Burials 1813 - 1844, Page 61, Entry 488
Source: LDS Film 1849658

Note the abode. I looked at the image on Ancestry and it's def Denton not Benton. So, I would think this is Thomas Denton's first wife and she is a bit young to have been baptised in 1795.

So..... that's the Owen and Denton ladies eliminated. Were there any others?
