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

both age 21

Thomas = fireman, father Robert occ miller
Ann = cotton weaver (of Skerton) , father Thomas occ mason
Ann signed record as Gameson so probably the correct spelling

Thomas's sister Mary married the same day
