  • Notes 
    • JOHN PILKINGTON

      Looking at all his censuses & his age at death John was possibly born between 1806 & 1808. The earliest likely being 08 April 1805 & the latest likely being 06 June 1808
      1851 = born Bury
      1861 = born Tottington
      1871 = born Tottington
      1881 = born Tottington Lower End

      Could not sign his name when married.

      Censuses give place of birth as Bury or Tottington Lower End but this could also include Holcombe.

      Possibilities for birth:
      John son of James & Margaret Pilkington born 17 March 1805 Ramsbottom, baptised 19 March 1805 Holcombe Emmanuel.

      John son of James & Betty Pilkington born: 16 November 1806, baptised: 30 November 1806 at Tottington St Annes.

      John son of Edmund (Edward) & Nancy Pilkington nee Holding born: 29 November 1806 Buckden, baptised: 18 January 1807 at Holcombe Emmanuel (Edward married Nancy Holding 23 October 1806 Bury St Marys)

      John son of Edmund & Nancy Pilkington nee Hichen born: 10 April 1807, baptised: 17 June 1807 at Bury St Marys (Edmund married Nancy Hichen 30 October 1792 Bury St Marys)

      John son of Edward & Peggy Pilkington born: 24 July 1799, baptised: 01 September 1799 Tottington St Annes - too early?

      Owing to the names of his children, his parents are likely to be an Edward or James and a Nancy

      Did John and Betty have another daughter - Alice ?

      In 1851 census a visitor was Mary Wild, born in Quarlton.
      Was she a friend of Betty or possibly Betty's mother who could have re-married.
