mgnv: it was really this John Waton I was interested in:
Marriages Dec 1852
HEDLEY William Stockton 10a 110
OUGHTRED Jane Stockton 10a 110
? Ritson Eleanor Wright Stockton 10a 110
> WATON John Stockton 10a 110
but I think I disposed of that by finding Eleanor Wright Ritson, who pretty plainly isn't our Eleanor.
Any thoughts about this one?
Marriages Mar 1860
Jackson John Cockermouth 10b 585
Park William Cockermouth 10b 585
Pennington Margaret Cockermouth 10b 585)
Pennington Margret Cockermouth 10b 585 )
Ritson Eleanor Cockermouth 10b 585
Tinnion Mary Cockermouth 10b 585
I guess it's more likely there's a spare bride than that there's a groom missing. Either way, the Eleanor there could be the bride with the missing groom ... I checked at Ancestry, and 10b 585 is definitely correct for her. So it would appear that that Eleanor Ritson married either John Jackson or William Park.
One down: William Park married Margaret Pennington; in 1861:
William Park 30
Margaret Park 27
John Park 8 Mo
James Pennington 57
George Pennington 21
Robert Pennington 19
Mary Pennington 14
Civil parish: Cockermouth
The only Eleanor Jackson with husband John in Cumberland in 1861 was born c1826 and has a slew of children. There is one in Crosscanonby, born c1835, who is a mariner's wife, husband not to home. Also there in 1871, now widowed. Aargh. Oh, okay, her brother is a Younghusband - yup, Eleanor Younghusband + John Jackson marriage 1858.
So that leaves the Eleanor Ritson who married in 1860 still in the wind, possibly having married a John Jackson.
But -- our Eleanor had a child before then with Mr. Aitkin:
Births Mar 1859
AITKIN Henry Liverpool 8B 100
... unless Henry was William's child but not Eleanor's ... but she was with William in the 1861 census ...

Janey - Sorry for not getting back, I got involved in the evening's movie:

So you were right to rule that one out.
Unfortunately, I don't know of any online local BMD indices for Cumbria - LancsBMD doesn't even have anything for Ulverston RD (i.e., the Furness bit of Lancs).

Wow! what a can of worms ive opened, Eleanor seems a mystery,
I have a birth cert for for 2 of their children William b1863 and Henry b 1859 on both cert its says mothers name Aitkin formely Ritson ,
I sent for a marriage cert at one time im not sure if it was the one mentioned i did state that husbands name was William and gro sent me a part of my payment back as that Eleanors husband was not William,
Henry and Rebecca mentioned were Williams Parents i have those details and some certs,
ive also got Eleanors death cert d 20/6/1889 it says Eleanor Aitkin wife of William Aitkin so they must have married, but lt could be and looks like she could have been married before, well thanks again to you all, youve certainley given me a lot to digest and think about so i will get my head round the info and see what comes up .
Margaret.
