Find Ancestors

This is very helpful Mike.

I have Mum's direct family, item 1, but can't work out where these other folk fit in. I assume they are related! I've not managed to find them all together on any census. I sort of assumed that each of the 'item's' were a sibling of the deceased Mary Pennington.

I may be going over ground you already have.

What are you looking to solve ?

Don't know, maybe he's a son of another of Mary's brothers.

Yes that is the correct family in the census, Thomas had 2 sons, William died age 20ish, unmarried I think. Samuel was Mum's father.

So who is Samuel number 2 ?

So were there two Samuels?? That's how it reads

No, Samuel in 1 just had the 3 children.

Right family for reference ?

Is the Samuel in item 2 not the same as the one mentioned in item 1 ?

Nearly complete now! See update at end.

Initial query.
The persons 1-5 appear to be siblings, could someone please check on the census for me? I believe there were 8 of them originally.
Their parents are Samuel Pennington 1806-1867 and Sarah Dixon 1807-1866

I have an Estate Account from Mum's papers.

The estate of Mary Pennington deceased DOD 15 July 1954

I have not been able to find out where Mary fits in with the family.
As this appears to be from Letters of Admin, the standard beneficiary rules will apply

I thought I had managed to make a tree out of them, but it doesn't add up, or match with records.

Could a fresh pair of eyes have a go please? The Penningtons came from Ulverston/Dalton/Barrow in Furness area.
