General Notes
NOTE: George and Annie of Darcy Lever also had children (inc Elizabeth A) registered with MMN Pennington.
15 Jan 1860, Thomas Pennington, a warper, son of John Pennington, also a Warper married Martha Mather at St Georges, Little Bolton.
In 1861, Thomas and Martha (22 & 20) were at Back Charles Street, Little Bolton with son John (6 mo)
In 1867, John R Pennington's birth was registered in Little Bolton, followed by Louisa (1870) and Lilly (1875) in Eastern Bolton (all the births show the MMN as Pennington, not Mather). Louisa was baptised at Atherton in 1870 and the father "John" is crossed out, so all these births may be illegitimate, not Thomas's children.
Thomas must have died by 1878 when Martha remarried.
In 1881, Thomas's widow Martha France was with the three surviving Pennington children in Westhoughton.
