Hi Cathy, Firstly, A Happy New Year. Secondly, I've been doing a one name study on the TETLOW surname for over 25 years. Thirdly, oh dear! My information on Nanny Tetlow who married Abraham Turner may be incorrect. My assumption is based on the information which you have just provided namely that Nanny/Ann was born circa 1803. The Nanny, who I have married to Abraham Turner, was baptised on the 25th of October, 1807 (her date and place of birth is unknown) at St. Leonard, Middleton and was the daughter of William Tetlow and Martha Scholes. The problem is that William & Martha were married on 27th June, 1807! This is 4 years after Nanny was born. Unfortunately of my 19,271 Tetlows in my files, I have no other Nanny/Ann born circa 1803 that is unaccounted for. It is possible that Nanny was born out of wedlock and William & Martha waited until they were officially married before having Nanny baptised however, I find that a bit remote. Do you happened to have the reference numbers of the 1851 & 1861 censuses? I could then have a look/see for myself at my next session at the LRO (Lancashire Record Office). I could have a look at the 1841 census as well. As for the marriage of Nanny & Abraham Turner, the church records were not very informative prior to 1837. The witnesses, John Grimshaw & Abraham Kay were more than likely church officials as the appear lots of time as witnesses. My wife's ancestors, she was a TETLOW and 3rd cousin, 3 times removed from Nanny! They were from the Thornham area and later of Castleton and they were all baptised at St. Leonard, Middleton. If you look at the church records for St. Leonard's, Middleton, you will find that most people living in what was known as Lower Castleton, which was part of Rochdale (actually, it was the other way around, Rochdale was part of Castleton), were baptised at St. Leonard. Those living in Nearer Castleton were baptised at St. Chad, Rochdale. William T. & Martha Scholes had 13 children, Nanny being the eldest followed by Mary, Betty, Sarah, George, Edward, Abraham, Alice, John, Joseph, Catharine Mary, Martha, & Ruth. If you have any queries please don't hesitate to ask. I'll do me best. Regards, Bill Dowdell
