I am helping a friend with his family tree. Lancs Online Parish records shows that on 19th October 1845 his GG Grandfather Thomas Whaley/Whalley married Ann Higham in Eccleston. Thomas's father is shown as George. According to the census records Thomas was born 1823 Croston. I found a birth of a Thomas born 1823 in Croston and his mother was shown as Betty, it would seem she was a single mother. I have been unable to fins a Thomas born c1823 with a father George. Can anyone help please? regards Julie
