Hi Elaine (didn't realise who you were)

I assume you still have access to ancestry

the Lancaster St Thomas parish register images for marriages on on there. That is where I got the info from for Thomas & Ann's marriage

so you may be able to find more without having to buy the certificates

Hi Ann

thanks
