In 1862 in Bolton, Ann christened her son Jonathan Routledge. In the 1871 census Jonathan was listed as a Parkin. It is unclear if Jonathan was William's son, born before they were married, or if he adopted Jonathan after the marriage.

Research Notes

In the 1871 census Ann is with her second husband William Parkin with Jonathan Parkin age 9 (born before they were married) and Sarah Parkin age 4 (born after their marriage). Also listed was Joseph J Routledge age 2 of Newcastle, named as a stepson. I think it is more likely he is a grand-stepson, a child of one of Ann's older children.
