Hi

Your message is a bit confusing

You describe Wilbraham as your Gt Gt Grandfather and Elizabeth Oddie as your Gt grandmother

Was Wilbraham the father of Elizabeth Oddie?

There is this marriage in Clitheroe - is this your gt gt grandparents?

Wilbraham Crook aged 26 father John Crook
Spouse  Elizabeth Ann Fell age 23 no father shown
Marriage Date: 24 Dec 1898 Clitheroe

 Hi    Found this to add to Carol's marriage being the right one ...

  Elizabeth Ann Oddie 
  William Fell                  on same page Clitheroe March 1894 Q1.  8E 467.

Elizabeth was the illegitimate daughter of Margaret Fell (Margaret Oddie)

Marriages June qtr 1877
 
Margaret Fell/James Oddie    Clitheroe  8e 375

No father shown on her marriage entry above

[lizdb]

Marriage
Jan/FEb/Mar 1894
Clitheroe 8f 467

ELizabeth Oddie
one of grooms - Willam Fell

then marriage in 1898 already mentioned
Elizabeth Fell / Wilbraham Crook

Maybe?

(or maybe not, seeing Carol's findings)

[Necromancer]

apart from it being William (easy mistake to make), I think the 1901 find has all the right ingredients ...... 

but not sure about the 1891 - is Turton sort of Bolton ?

[Necromancer]

here he is - better age match & right occupation...
