What exactly is it your looking for Sandra..?...did you want help with finding this family on a census...though I would imagine from the info you have that you have that from a census...if so are you looking to go back or forward?

Taking a guess that you don't have Thomas and Sarah's marriage registration as you haven't put a year for them

Marriages Dec 1859 (>99%)

>>>>Pearson Thomas Bolton 8c 369
>>>>Westnot Sarah Alice Bolton 8c 369
Westrist Sarah Alice Bolton 8c 369



as you probably know, buying the certificate will tell you the names of the 2 fathers.
