I would love some help in trying to find my Great Grandmother Mary Young, she was born in c1864 and according to the 1891 Census she was living at 1 Back Moor Street in Blackburn and had three children, John aged 6 (my Grandfather), James aged 5 and Edward 12 weeks, (alas Edward died before he was one) it also states that she was born in St. Helens but I'm not too sure about that. Her fathers name was John Young as stated on her Marriage certificate to a Thomas James Walton on 8th December 1894. What puzzles me is WHO was the father of her three boys? as she was a 'spinster' when she wed Thomas. I would really appreciate any information no matter how small, if it helps me to move on to the next stage. I have my grandfathers birth certificate but there is no mention of a father, so I have come to a dead end. If there are any Walton's out there who think they may have any clues please feel free to get in touch. I expect everyone has a skeleton or two in the cupboard at some point, please help me to find mine. Thanks, Love Sue Smith (nee Young)
