Note

Thomas Brocklebank's family is a difficult one to interpret correctly. There are 2 possible marriages for Thomas in Dalton in Furness. On 24Feb1827 he was married to Margaret Pearson and on 16Jan1830 he could have been married to Margaret Spencer. This Thomas Brocklebank was a Widower so if there is only one Thomas in Dalton at the time, the first Margaret (Pearson) would have died. There was a burial record for a Margaret Brocklebank on 23Mar1831 at Dalton in Furness aged 36.
Thomas had a son called William who was with him and Margaret ? in 1841 and 1851, aged 10 and 20 respectively. There is a baptism for William Brocklebank on 19Dec1830, parents Thomas and Mary. This could have been a mistake in the baptism record replacing Marg. as the mother but that is not certain. There is a baptism for a James Brocklebank, son of Thomas and Margaret on 11Sep1830 at Dalton in Furness which was before the possible death of the first Margaret Brocklebank (Pearson) in March 1831. James was living with William and Isabella his aunt and uncle in 1841 and 1851 as a Lodger.
Thomas and Margaret 2 (Spencer) also had a son Richard living with them in 1841 and 1861. He was baptised on1Nov1835 in Pennington, Lancashire. He was also an apprentice Waller with Margaret Pearson's brother Robert in 1851.
There was a further daughter Ann Brocklebank who was baptised on 29jun1842 at Dalton in Furness to Thomas and Margaret 2. She died in March 1845.
It would seem that one of the two 10 year old's in 1841, James and William Brocklebank could not be the son of Margaret Pearson. One theory is that James was the son of an ailing Margaret Pearson and William was the son of another relationship of Thomas with a lady called Mary.
All 5 children including Thomas Brocklebank born 1837 have been included as children of Thomas Brocklebank and Margaret Pearson.
