I am searching for information of the following family that is from Preston, Lancashire. I am searching for any information on a Thomas WHITTLE, occupation "weaver" (as was half of the male population), of Preston, Lancashire, England. He was the father of a Thomas WHITTLE b. between 9 Apr 1830 and 9 Apr 1831 (poss. as late as 1832) in Preston, Lancashire, England, who married on 9 Apr 1854 Preston, Lancashire, England to Isabella CARR, daughter of an Edward CARR, occupation "Tackler". Their death dates are unknown. Thomas WHITTLE and Isabella CARR had the following children: Henry WHITTLE b. Abt 1859 Thomas WHITTLE b. abt 1863 Robert WHITTLE b. Abt 1865 Ann WHITTLE b. Abt 1869 John Carr WHITTLE b. Mar 1870, emigrated in 1889 to Fall River, MA, m. 1893 to Emeline DALE Since I have approximate birthdates, from their marriage license, and there are about 20 Thomas WHITTLEs born in a 5 year span in Preston, what should my next step be in finding the correct Thomas "2" and his father Thomas "1" the "weaver".
