This is one of those tangles that just gets more and more confusing the more I look at it.
1871 Lancashire Newton with Scales (or is it Seales?)
Nancy Hornby Head Wid 47 Farmer 90 Acres Lancs Sowerby
Thos. Hornby Son Unm 17 Horseman Lancs Newton
(loads of other children)
John Parker cousin Wid 47 Ag Lab Lancs Sowerby
In 1861 and 1851 John Parker is married to a Molly / Mary Rawlinson. John's mother was a Nancy born about 1792 at Sowerby, and I'm thinking she is probably Nanny Rawlinson who was baptised 12th May 1793 at St Michael on Wyre, parents Thomas and Margaret, and that there is probably a family connection with Molly Rawlinson. (John Parker's father was another John Parker).
I was hoping that this Nancy Hornby would help me to prove that Nancy (John Parker's mother) was Nanny Rawlinson (I can't find the John Parker / Nancy Rawlinson marriage; their first child I know of was yet another Nancy, born about 1813.) But on the 1851 Nancy Hornby's husband is William Hornby, and the most likely marriage for them is William Hornby / Nancy Germain 1850 Preston, and then there is a Nancy Germain on the 1841 with a Thomas and Agnes who look likely to be her parents - Thomas Germain married Agnes Whiteside. But how does John Parker get to be this Nancy's cousin? Or am I barking up the wrong tree?
Hoping a fresh look at it can help sort out the muddle while I cook the kids' dinner...
