It looks like my original thoughts that Elizabeth Hilton married William James Wright have been well and truly shot down.    johnhood and Tall Al have said all along that it was James Johnson she married and from what I have discovered they have been proved correct. On Ancestry there is a Public Member Tree called "Fillingham Family Tree" and pretty much all the same information I have been given here is on there. The icing on the cake though to finally convince me is the fact that I have now got a Death Certificate for Elizabeth. My cousin has been looking through a box of old photo's and post cards that belonged to my grandfather and she found it there.  Tall Al was spot on when he said she could have died in 1941 in the Biggleswade district. She died 9th May 1941 at Three Counties Emergency Hospital in Stotfold. Her daughter-in-law Ann Johnson was present at her death.  It also shows the address that Ann lived in, in Arlesey, but I don't know if I am allowed to give that information on this site. All I have to do now is find out which son married Ann and I can progress my tree some more. Any Takers??
Thanks everyone

johnhood, Tall Al, wivenhoe, It will take me a couple of days to get my head round all that information and try to find someone who has access to Find My Past.

 amondg.   Thank you for the information about how you found the children although I am no wiser as to what the GRO index means. You ask who my grandfather is. I don't have his marriage certificate to quote who his father is but I have his death certificate. Thomas Hilton b1892 at 74, Petticoat Lane, Ince, d1972 at 9, Engineer St. Ince. I do have the marriage certificate of his parents, John Hilton and Susannah Unsworth. Married 4th Nov 1867 at St. Patrick's, Wigan. John was 22 and Susannah was 21. Both resided in Petticoat Lane, Ince. Both fathers, John Hilton and William Unsworth were miners.
 wivenhoe,  Thank you for that marriage, I will follow that up.
 Tall Al, those deaths are correct, Susannah Hilton and her son John Willie and I believe her father William Unsworth are all buried together in the one grave. There is also a two day old son of my grandparents Thomas and Ann Hilton in the same grave. John Willie died in a mining accident at what I believe is the Spring Pit in Hindley. I have a report of the inquest from the Wigan Examiner dated 20th Jan 1906. The cemetery index's for Wigan, Ince, and Hindley are available on the "Wiganworld" website.
 johnhood  Those three names are in my family tree.Thomas was my grandfather and Joseph and John Willie were his two brothers. See my answer to amondg for your other answers. Thank you for the information as to how you found Emily. Also for your info that the Elizabeth Hilton who married William James Wright is not John Hilton and Susannah Unsworths daughter. Must check on the possible marriage to James Johnson in 1894.
CaroleW  The person who is helping me with my family tree and has access to Ancestry came up with that marriage. I did say in my request for help with my family tree  " If I am correct........". It looks like I might not be correct.

I would appreciate any help to progress the family tree of one of my grandfathers sisters.
  Elizabeth Hilton was born in 1872 in Ince, the daughter of John Hilton and Susannah Hilton (nee Unsworth). If I am correct Elizabeth married William James Wright (b1872) at St. Peters in Hindley in 1896. The 1901 census shows them living at 16, Lord St. Hindley, with a daughter Hannah aged 1, and Ann aged 75, who I assume is Williams mother.
  The 1911 census shows Elizabeth living at 5,Back Granby St. Hindley with three children, Hannah aged 11, James aged 5, and Nellie aged 2.  William is not shown on the census so it is possible he died between the birth of Nellie and the 1901 census. I have looked for a death for him on Lancashire BMD and LancsOPC but I can't find one.
It is also possible that Elizabeth remarried, but I don't know how to find that information.
Thank you for any help.
