Dianer - I  have three Thomas Penningtons in my database.
One was a cordwainer from Thurnham who attended the papist sessions on 30/4/1717 at Lancaster (I presume); another also  from Thurnham who was a husbandman involved in a Dalton's rental sale in 1720 and have probate record for date of 14/9/1751; the last was born in 1721and  lived at "Pennington's" Yearly rents 1783, BCL2- Life lease 1776, rents in 1794 for ?Half Driver’s and have burial at St M - old gravestone. I have slipped up slightly in recording one or two entries for St Mary's Lancaster with the same abbreviation as St Michael's Cockerham - oh dear - will have to go through my lists!

We have some Jolleys, from Cockerham and some of them ended up in Thurnham, but the branch I was following moved to Cheshire so I don't know too much about the Thurnham ones, claytonbradley

Hi Clayton. I have 3 Jolleys on my database. One called Peter, born 1775, married Mary Shaw (local name), lived at Bank House (a farm on the shore south of Cockersand Abbey) as a husbandman, on Dalton’s estate jury 1836-wreck and estuary bailiff, married 1800. Wife lived at Abbey. Next one is Joshua who also lived at Bank House, land rents 1794-lease expires 1800. The last is John, again at Bank House, Bulmer’s Tr Dir 1910, Trustee of Thurnham Village Institute 1920.

Pencan - I have Hogtons and Houghtons from my database but it won't send as an attachment. Shall I email you offline from here?

Pencan,

 If it's not too much trouble, I'd be very interested in any Clifton inscriptions you may have at Cockerham.  My husband's ancestors married and were baptised there in the early 1700s and later moved allegiance to Garstang St Helen's for some reason.

Thank you very much, Tortiegirl. Peter Jolleys  was bap 15 May 1774 Cockerham, a twin and married Mary Shaw 5 May 1800 St Mary's Lancaster. His twin sister, Betty , had an illegitimate son, Peter. That Peter moved to the Blackburn area with his uncle John Jolleys, married and moved to Cheshire. Was the Joshua you mention subsequent to Peter 1775? I'm a bit confused because Joshua was the name of Peter's (1775) father, but of course Peter 1775 may have had a son Joshua. Thanks again, claytonbradley
