Sorry about the spelling of David's surname. It should read COCKERTON. It doesn't look like Margaret was a widow at the time of the marriage. She was born in 1865 so would have been 16. -----Original Message----- From: derbysgen-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:derbysgen-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Chris Andrew Sent: April-18-13 11:08 AM To: derbysgen@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [DBY] Margaret HARDWICK and David COCKERTON The Derbyshire Registrars Marriage Index has the following: 1881 Margaret WITHAM David Elijah CROCKERTON Dronfield, St John the Baptist

Margaret HARDWICK was born in 1862, so not much older and unlikely to be a widow. But her name is not uncommon. Luckily for me, she's not a direct ancestor, but it would be good to pin her down.
