Bryan, Many thanks again - delighted to have Sarah Ellen's maiden name.
The dates you sent me in your first E-mail about Jonathan have raised a few questions i.e. Jonathan Cronshaw b 1824 married Jane Wigglesworth b 1825 in 1855. The person I thought was their first child, Christopher, was born in 1846! The other children I have found are Sarah - b 1861 and William - b 1864 which is rather a big gap for those days. I am wondering whether it was a second marriage for Jonathan when he married Jane Wigglesworth? It is possible, of course, that Christopher is not their child - I am confused. When I started all of this in May this year I thought Cronshaw would be easy because it was an unusual name - I now know it is not, at least in Accrington and its surrounds.

Thanks for the clarification about the New Jerusalem!

Delighted to hear you are still "digging". Sue C
