Was William deceased at the time of the marriage?

channel

channel Report 3 May 2009 16:31

No he was a labourer thanks

Julie

Julie Report 3 May 2009 16:32

That's right you don't ,..as i said The 1841 doesn't give you relationship details.

So it could be that Martha is his Mum and she remarried to William Glover

Could Martha Glover on the 1841 census be Isaiah's mother who has married William Glover, and this is who Isaiah has named on his marriage certificate.

If he was just asked "What is your father's name?" he may have just answered "William" and whoever was recording the information assumed that it was William Edge.

I think Julie might be right, and she re-married William Glover as per the above marriage.

DEANE, a village and a parish in Bolton district, Lancashire. The village stands near the Bolton and Leigh railway, 1¾ mile SW of Bolton; and has a post office under Bolton. The parish contains also the town ships of Kersley,<<<<<<< Farmworth,<<<<<<< Little Hulton, Middle Hulton, Over Hulton, Rumworth, Westhoughton, Heaton, Halliwell, and Horwich.
