I can add that John Pilling fathered a child with Dorothy Howard, a widow. The child, Lawrence Howard, was baptized at St Wilfrid's Chapel on 14 Aug 1821. It’s not known what type of relationship he had with his biological father, but when Lawrence Howard was married in 1843 he named John Pilling as his father in the marriage register.<br />William Jackson, a tallow chandler, of 115 Church Street, was buried in St Wilfrid’s Cemetery on 10 Aug 1827, aged 46 years.<br />Dorothy (Carr) Howard, of Garden Street, was buried in the same cemetery on 1 Apr 1828, aged 40 years.<br />Glenn Swarbrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14711249250664799097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2311128835825518076.post-56577885283330417072022-04-05T13:02:28.539+01:002022-04-05T13:02:28.539+01:001881 and 1891 Alice Sergeant was Blackledge before...1881 and 1891 Alice Sergeant was Blackledge before she married William!!Joanne Campbell nee Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01029440089532995551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2311128835825518076.post-47358142930895469702022-03-23T12:15:31.791+00:002022-03-23T12:15:31.791+00:00Leonard Wearden is another one of mine!Leonard Wearden is another one of mine!Joanne Campbell nee Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01029440089532995551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2311128835825518076.post-503339354654198142022-03-21T15:07:28.363+00:002022-03-21T15:07:28.363+00:00The Wearden's are mine too!!
