No Ancestry tree
1802. Jane Wilkinson was baptised Padiham 19/9/1802 to William Wilkinson & Phebe, abode Padiham, father a weaver . Actually born 8/8/1802. - FS & LOPC
Cannot find a William- Phoebe marriage 1780-1802 on Ancestry, FMP, IGI or FS . And cannot identify the William Wikinson, her father, in1841C- though there are 3 in Whallley: a William 70, master plumber; a William 65 crofter, and a William 62 stone mason, with a 'wife' Ellen . So, no way of knowing the occupation of her father
1820.Margaret Wilkinson , born 26/7/1820, was baptised to Jane Wilkinson in Padiham on 13/8/1820- FS
1823. Phoebe Wilkinson , born 18/6/1823, was baptised to Jane Wilkinson, spinster, in Padiham on 14/9/1823 - FS & LOPC
1823. Jane Wilkinson married William Bradshaw on 30/9/1823 in Padiham
Odd that babe Phoebe did not just take the Bradshaw name!
1837. Mary Bradshaw, born 1831, was baptised Padiham 1837 to William Bradshaw, weaver, & Jane -FS & also Ann Bradshaw, born 1829, baptised to them the same day-IGI
1839. James Bradshaw, 1yr 4mths, son of William & Jane Bradshaw, is buried 28/5/1839 Padiham . No grave given - LOPC
1840. Thomas Bradshaw was born to William and Jane in Padiham. Burnley Jun/Sep 1840 . Given he is down as 10mths on 1841C on 7/5/1841, he would have been born 5/7/1840 - 5/8/1840 and thus would have been registered in the Sep qtr- should I want to purchase his b.c.
FS - He is baptised Padiham 18/1/1844 to just Jane Bradshaw, date of birth 1/8/1840 - good logic above!- so presumably William dead by 1844, and, likely, by 1841
1841C. Thomas Bradshaw, 10 mths, is living with his mother. Jane, 36, at Gate End Whalley. Census does not state married/widowed

| Thomas | Bradshaw | Male | 0 | 1841 | Lancashire, England | |
| Mary | Wilkinson | Female | 13 | 1828 | Lancashire, England |
1843. This is the only possible death Burnley Dec - but not in LOPC burials - for William Bradshaw late 1839 onwards- thus guess he was just missing from home on the 1841C
1851C. Thomas Bradshaw, 11, is living with his widowed mother, Jane, 50, housekeeper, at Court, Whalley, Burnley - says Padiham at top of census return!!

Think Ann Wilkinson should read Ann Bradshaw
Jane Bradshaw not, seemingly, in 1861C
1858. Jane Bradshaw, aged 57, abode Padiham, died 19/2/1858, is buried St. Leonard Padiham on 24/2/1858 . Cause of death Asthma . Grave 13/53 - likely LOPC
& a Phoebe Wilkinson dies Burnley 1860: not Jane's daughter, but that of Thomas & Sarah, aged 22, who died giving birth. In the same grave though!, 13/53?
Mary Bradshaw 1831 could die 1853, aged 22, cause of death Gradual Decay. Buried 12/5/1853 Padiham , no grave given -LOPC
