Cant thank you enough, I have been stuck on this family , you are a legend :)

I just checked James Oldham and Betty Walmsley marriage it states that James was a Widower.???

James Oldham and Betty Walmsley , I thought having their date of marriage might have helped but details regarding them has turned out to be very elusive.

John William was born on 13.4.1866 and baptised on 29..4.1866 at Christ Church, Blackburn, Lancashire..His parents were James Oldham and Emma Duckworth married 1865
