If the 1851 family I posted earlier (at 17:36 ) is the correct one for John 1849 with mother Mary and siblings Elizabeth, Margaret, and Hannah, then the mother Mary seems to be in the workhouse in Blackburn 1841, with children Elizabeth (1) and James (2).

I don't see an illegitimate birth for James c1839.

BUT . . .

There is a Hartley/Spencer family in Haslingden, with children of the same names and similar YOB's


The John with mms Spencer is one of them (birth posted already)

Siblings:

(and others)



There's also a family of Hartley/Hindles, below, again with similar names and YOBs:

Mary Hartley

Registration district: Haslingden
Sub-registration district: Haslingden
ED, institution, or vessel: 12
Household schedule number: 67

I won't post all the Hartley/Hindle births - I've found them, but my brain's frazzled!

All too confusing!

All of that is very promising - again I'll print it off and take it from there. I can't thank you both enough - you've been very supportive.
