Marriage certificates don't give mothers names and they do not give place of birth groom.

He resided 1947 at Little Neston at Wirral Cheshire on a farm. (Between the river Mersey and river Dee estuaries  & Between Birkenhead and Ellesmere Port) (see a map of the Wirral)

His first marriage gives Richard as his dad, and his first wife lived/died in Westmorland

The census below are the only way to link and confirm

They used both Dowthwaite and Douthwaite surname on records or misspelt by parish clerks/vicars, census recorders at time of writing or miss-transcribed by LDS

Kirkby Lonsdale, Westmorland and Casterton are near same place

There is only one William son of Richard of Casterton in Kirkby Lonsdale born 1870/71

William Douthwaite  d 1952 and Joseph Lawton d 1939 are both buried in the same grave S 127 in Felkirk church graveyard

In my opinion the marriage residence is not always the place of birth. Never forget Workhouse and overseers accounts records of birth

Why don't you try to find the marriage and death for Thomas Douthwaite on FreeBMD - it's free  ;D
Transcriptions and NBI are merely finding aids.  They are NOT a substitute for original record entries.
Remember - "They'll be found when they want to be found" !!!
If you don't ask the question, you won't get an answer.

Looks like Thomas was a draper's assistant in 1891 living in Lancaster - single, but not surprising he was only 17 or so. Can't find him 1901.
Berks / Oxon: Eltham, Annetts, Wiltshire (surname not county), Hawkins, Pembroke, Partridge
Dorset / Hants: Derham, Stride, Purkiss, Sibley
Yorkshire: Pottage, Carr, Blackburn, Depledge
Sussex: Goodyer, Christopher, Trevatt
Lanark: Scott (soldier went to Jersey CI)
Jersey: Fowler, Huelin, Scott

How do you think I've found the other brothers and sister?  ;)
Thomas is more difficult because there a lots of them (that is why I requested help).
