That's pretty clever to find this one Janet. I don't think it is the right one however as Francis and Nanny Crawshaw did have a son Oddy born 25 Sept 1837, bap 24 Nov 1837, Birstall, St Peter. My Thomas was: Parish of Birstall born 29 June 1837, bap 22 Oct 1837 Thomas son of Martha Oddy Walshaw of Heckmondwike, spinster Thank you for trying Janet...........much appreciated.
