I think you should do what Patchem has suggested and buy Matthew's birth certificate to get mother's maiden name.

Hi
Mathew lowes parents James lowes 1840 and margaret lowes 1841 can you help me get Margaret's lowes maimed name
Thanks
Margaret.

Margaret,

Have you applied for any birth or marriage certificates to confirm the information from the censuses?

This one will give mother's maiden name if he were born in 1861.
Births Dec 1861
Lowes Matthew Easington 10a 307

(Birth year/age at death almost fits with 1909 death stated above)
Deaths Mar 1908
LOWES Matthew 46 Easington 10a 314

Hi Margee
Can you let me have more info on James and margaret please :-P

But I thought we determined that Matthew's parents were James & Margaret from the censuses.

Also you're still saying that Matthew was born 1869 when all of the censuses say 1862. Are you not reading the replies?

John Preston Wilson's military records show that he had children before he married Margaret.

Could this be him in 1911? Married under 1 year and no children from the marriage.

(His records do state that he had a son Joseph Preston Wilson b.23.02.1907 and son John Preston Wilson b. 16.07.1897 and daughter Alma b. 16.05. 13 and daughter Ellen Lawes Wilson b. 22.06.1915. They also state that he married Margaret in 1911))
