Robbie: Let me try to interpret that entry for you. If I read it right, it is saying that an Elizabeth Akroyd married a Thos. Buckley and their children were a son, Thomas Edward Buckley and a daughter Elizabeth Buckley. Of course, these might not be yours but wanted to clarify it for others who might, in the future, come across these posts in the archives. Sometimes a person has to really study the entries in the book to figure out what Henry Ecroyd Smith was trying to say.
