Thomas PILKINGTON; Church Thomas of Withnell burial 17 Feb 1824 Thomas the ancestor here died 28 Feb 1824. Local research indicates however the address 1775-1809, Fogg's Farm, . Samuel b. 1775 is at Foggs Farm in 1841,this indicates he took over Foggs after his father died. Samuel in 1841 born at Sharples. It is possible Thomas and his wife moved from Sharples in 1775. This assumes that Samuel gave is correct place of birth This indicates an event in 1775 to prompt such a move. The spouse of Thomas is not confirmed, however Johanna appears as the name of the mother in the Lee Chapel records. None of the main issue have birth records on the IGI. The family is Unitarian.
