Today, we would say the year was 1740, but back then, they didn't have new year on Jan 1sr, but some time in March, so they said Jan 3 was still 1739

Thank you everyone

I think I need to settle down and look at what you have all found for me and not go off what other people have in their trees.

Thank you once again

for what its worth i think the marriage posted by alviegal above for agnes lowe to james barker and her subsequent marriage barker to broomhead clears this up

I have been informed by someone who has done research on the Broomhead family that Agnes Lowe was born 1768 to Thomas Lowe and Jane Collinson although they could not give me any point of reference.

I wonder if anyone could give me some advice .

I am looking at the marriage of Thomas Broomhead to Agnes LOWE


Marriage: 21 Oct 1787 St Aidan, Billinge, Lancashire, England
Thomas Broomhead - Husbandman, this parish
Agnes Barker - Spinster, this parish
Witness: Peter Farclough; Alice Lowe
Banns Read: 7 Oct 1787, 2nd: 14 Oct 1787, 3rd: 21 Oct 1787
Married by Banns by: Rd. Slater Officiating Min.
Register: Marriages 1787 - 1799, Page 8, Entry 31
Source: Original register at Wigan Archives

I had dismissed this but i have found that 44 other trees on ancestry have this as Thomas Broomhead marrying Agnes LOWE

I have messaged several of them as to why they have come to this outcome but no reply ..

I can see there is an Alice Lowe as a witness and wonder if there is some confusion over this.

I cant find a marriage for Thomas Broomhead and Agnes Lowe

However there are these 3 children
