Have you bought a copy of their marriage cert to establish their ages and fathers names?  The marriage was at Altham  St James

www.lancashirebmd.org.uk/

Have you looked on the 1911 census for them and then earlier censuses?

Have you checked the 1939 register?

You say the last child was born 1924 so have you looked for a deaths for either of them using freebmd or a subscription site?

The 1911 has 6 entries for John Cronshaw living in Burnley of which only 3 were old enough to marry in 1912

4 Margaret Holgate's - one only just old enough - the other 3 all adults

That info pre-supposes they were actually living in Burnley in 1911.  Some of the entries were already married

Unless you have more info not posted here - you will need a copy of the 1912 marriage cert
