I have been looking for Margaret Cooton in 1841.I know she married Thomas Radley in December 1841.They say they are of full age,but she was 20.She was born in Tarleton,Lancs.,and he was born in Tarbock,Lancs.On the marriage cert.they both say that they live in Tarbock,and he is a labourer.
I could not find Margaret under the name Cooton nor under the name of her supposed father(Twist),nor could I find Thomas-BUT-I have found Thomas Radley(25)Marg.(don't think it's Mary)with Ann(9m)living in Liverpool.
I know that lots of people pretended they were married.
I looked for any Thomas Radley with a wife Margaret or Mary in 1851.There were two with wives Mary Ann.Both these Thomases were born abt.1822.I think he was born abt.1820,but his death cert.indicates he was born in 1814.
The problem-The Thomas in 1841 is 25.
It looks as though Thomas and Margaret say they were born out of the county.
There is no sign of Ann in 1851,nor can I find a death for her.
Thomas says he is a mariner.
Could these people be the ones I am looking for? Is there anything else I can do?
Thank you for reading.I hope I have been clear enough.
