the 1872 death of a John age 82 was of John living (and Buried) in Whalley. There is also a probate index record which states probate to Jane Dewhurst spinster daughter, the sole executrix |

Did you search deaths on LancashireBMD site, they have transcribed the age at death (not available on freebmd), they also record the sub-districts. |

Never give up hope Ann, I'm not really convinced that he died before 1861 - we just can't find him on the census records - and that could be for a variety of reasons, he maybe was mis-transcribed or simply the census return is missing. |

I also feel as if he was still around in 1861. But maybe wishful thinking, hoping for another clue. |

goo luck. There are a few possibles. I did try trying to match with a probate but not too much luck. |

Greenwood Greenwood, why on earth would you call someone that, and who would have thought that that name would be repeated. |

Have you checked out William's marriage in 1867 to Ellen Ainsworth (nee Ostick), see how he described his father? |

EDIT: Pretty sure this is the wrong family - different Thomas/Catherine - will leave for elimination purposes. |

A tree belonging to DavePennington1 on ancestry has copies of both of William's marriage certificates - on the 1867 one to Ellen he does not state deceased for his father. |

It gives me so much peace of mind when someone else is helping, when your doing it and getting nowhere, you come to think "have I missed something or have I gone wrong somewhere" |

"Cotton shipper" might be "cotton stripper", which was an engineering job, according to this: |

I'm pretty sure the 1861 census I posted for Thomas/Catherine is the wrong family. There was another marriage in 1855 in Wigan for Thomas Dewhurst and Catherine Bibby - which I think the census relates to. |
