Do you think that this Francis on the marriage to Emma was him?

It's not for us to say.

Just that it's possible.

Is there any other way i could find any more information about him? I have looked for a baptism record for Frances but there is not one for her or her sister and her marriage certificate gives me no further clues.

Also i cant seem to find a death for her mother Mary?

Even if you found a baptism for Frances, it wouldn't help you with tracing her father.

What surname are you using in searching for her mother's death?

Remember, she didn't marry Townsley

Donna

Donna Report 6 Mar 2013 22:22

Looking for Holliday/Holiday and Cairwithen as well

Very little point in looking for the death of a married woman in her maiden name

And you need to check the spelling you are using for her married name.

Your version is not borne out by the records found for her

Thanks both for the help and advice.

Is there anything else you could recommend that I do to find more about her father Francis?
