Illegitimate I think likely.

Darn GRO is locking me out so can't check for birth reg for John c 1851

Henry Croasdale had several Daughters that could be his Mother.
I don't see a Son named John or Henry with him.

I don't see a Son named John or Henry with him.

Sadly, although John's birth appears on FreeBMD as below, on the original image the surname has faded which is presumably why I can't see it on the GRO Birth Index

Births Sep 1851

Ahh! - This looks like John Croasdale's birth on the GRO Birth Index - no mothers maiden name

I would like to thank everyone who has participated here and found my Great Grandmother's name (Adeline or Adelina Croasdale).  You have also found the names of 4 of their 13 children who were still at home at the time of the 1921 Census.

I can add another one to that: Emma Elizabeth Croasdale born 29th November 1901 although I am not sure where.  She had left home to marry my Grandfather before the census of 1921. She was my Grandmother and all of the others you found were known to me when I was a child.  So, its 5 down and 8 to go!  I can't give up now!

Amazingly, Ivy's daughter has a photograph of Adeline and has promised me a copy of it.  She didn't know the lady's name but she knew it was her Grandmother.  Like me, she wasn't born until years after Adeline's death and had no personal memories of her.

Once again, thank you all

Neville - on the 1911 census there are;

William aged 36
Adelina aged 34
Emma aged 9 --- born Browney? Durham
Ernest aged 7 born Blackhouse? Durham
'Elcie' aged 2 born Craghead, Durham

This census also tells us that Willliam and Adelina had been married for 14 years. They had had 6 children born alive, but 3 had sadly died.

[Pennines]

In 1901 William and Adelina are in Burnley at 240a Cog Lane - no children with them.

There are records for Burnley Cemetery also.

I will just see if I can find burials for any children born after the marriage in Burnley - who died in Burnley.
