Help. My head is stuck in Cement because of these Ancestors!!!!

I am also wondering if the "Booth" Grandchild, was from a daughter who married a Booth then died and the Grandparents were raising the young girl? I have been so wrapped up in the Barnes and Pickering names, I never thought that Annie (Mary Hannah) could have married later in life to this Thomas Tierney man. I have a very strong feeling that she never married Emmanuel Pickering but used his name when the children came along for the Baptism records??

Like I mentioned before I will have to order these records and it takes a few weeks to reach me in Canada, but I'm going to really have to be more open to a marriage name later in life, and death.  My Mother-in-law is adamant that she lived in Blackburn so I can't imagine she didn't move around too far from her 2 sons and Rebecca who lived and worked in the Mill in Oswaldtwistle.  Stay tuned lovely people!!!!  You are amazing to help me this much!!

I had thought that Oswaldtwistle death registrations would be Blackburn but when Isobel found that death and I checked Lancashire BMD I saw that the death registration was Oswaldtwistle. Hopefully with son Robert living there, that might be the connection.
The Barnes had no daughters. I wondered if a son might have fathered the child then something went wrong.
Mary Barnes was a King before marriage but I can’t see any marriages with King/Booth or Barnes.
Mary H could be just a child they took in and the enumerator thought they were grandparents or they felt that connection.
The son living at home was married at St Paul’s, the local church, but I can’t see a baptism there.
If she is your Annie, it seems strange that she and Emmanuel didn’t marry.
I do hope all turns out right and that she is the correct woman.

What about electoral registers? All women were eligible to vote after 1928.
Are you a member of Lancashire Family History & Heraldry Society? If so, you can check if another member is researching any of the surnames and you can post an enquiry on their forum.  FH&HS has a research centre in Oswaldtwistle.

If this is the right woman, she is ‘married’ in Blackburn in 1911 and then after a later marriage ceremony is in Blackburn in 1939.
