Thanks, Kate.

Thanks, Kate.
Yes, I have noted her father is probably Joseph White.
I've noted the marriage licence too. I need to enter a few more details for her.

Most trees have the wife as Lydia Bolton, whom a Joseph (probably this Lydia's husband) married at Birstall. However, I found her in the burial register shortly before Joseph's marriage to Lydia White.

Yesterday I receive the will for one Joseph Fearnley, who I correctly calculated was the father of Mary Fearnley who married Jonathon Porritt, Joseph's father. Luckily Mary was already married when Joseph Fearnley died, so he mentions his daughter Mary Porritt.

I'm drowning in information on this family.

Edit: It's not cheap ordering from Borthwick. Thank goodness the will was for my ancestor Joseph Fearnley as I had to pay £13.50 for it.

Lots of duplicate names - Joseph, Thomas John, Jonathan, Samuel, Obadiah etc. It's quite a task sorting them out!
