Thankyou Chris :-)

Wigan World free cemetery records have grave F501 non Con in Wigan Cemetery Lower Ince containing Thomas Curran aged 82yrs buried 22Feb 1941 also Mary Ann Curran aged 78yrs buried 9th july 1941 both died in billinge Hospital but their address at time of death is given as 21 Baron Street. Also in the grave is Thomas Curran aged 21yrs died Red Rock "drowned in canal"buried 31 August 1916. May be of interest to you Regards Su

p.s James Martin mentioned on census above also at 21 Baron Street is buried in a communal grave E181 on 5/12/1898 Aged 64 yrs - there are lots of other Curran graves listed - also linking with family above is F500 adjoining giving Samuel Leonard buried 21/11/1968 aged 65yrs of 8 Meadow Street, Rupert Aged 65yrs died Whelley Hospital buried 1/11/1971 of 78 Beech hill Avenue and Robert James aged 73yrs died Billinge Hospital buried 5/11/1971 of 151 Beech hill Avenue.

Leticia Anna aged 7 days of 34 Platt Lane buried 3/10/1896 in communal Non con
I532
Jane Curran aged 2 and half yrs buried 12/12/1896 also of 34 Platt Lane

On Lancs on Line parish clerk records of baptisms of all above children 34 Platt Lane is address given - Also in Wigan cemetery records at that same address is a Jane Martin aged 58yrs of 34 Platt Lane buried 13/9/1892 in Communal E95 Non Con (perhaps wife of James Martin - looks like both born c 1834?)

On the 1881 Census for the Martin family in Platt Lane visitor is Elizabeth Watson Aged 26yrs born in Scotland with her daughter Sarah Jane born Wigan 1879 . Lancs BMD have birth of a Sarah Jane Watson in Wigan 1879 mothers maiden name Martin.

Also the son James Martin born Wigan c1867 Lancs BMD have one in 1867 with mothers maiden name given as Barton but also one in 1866 with mothers maiden name Hannah.

1871 Census has James and Jane Martin in Wigan with Children James aged 5 born Wigan, Eliza J (Elizabeth above?) aged 16 born Scotland, Agnes aged 13 born Ireland ,Mary Ann aged 7 born Scotland and Susan Aged 0 born Wigan. Lancs BMD have a Susan Martin born in Wigan in 1870 mothers maiden name Hannah which matches in with the James Martin born 1866 Wigan mothers maiden name Hannah - may be worth looking for Mary Ann c 1864 and Elizabeth Martin c 1855 with mother JaneHannah both births in Scotland ?

Mary Ann Martin 29/6/1863 Cambusnethan Lanark Scotland Mothers maiden name Jane Hanna ?

Also William John 8/5/1856 and Rachel 23/2/1858 both same mother and place as above

Jane Hanna to James Martin 25/07/1853 Bambridge Down Ireland
Fathers names John Martin and Joseph Hanna ?
