Biography

Birth

ESTIMATED 1755 Lancashire. (25 years before marriage date, but could likely be between 1740 and 1760) ^[1]

Marriage

06 Jun 1780 Saint Mary,Bury,Lancashire, Thomas Knowles and Dorothy Holt^[2]

Death

Not known

Research Note

Uncertainty: 2 Betty Knowles christenings 8 months apart:

Christened 27 Mar 1791 TURTON, LANCASHIRE, Betty Knowles daughter of Thomas Knowles and Dolly ^[3]

Just 8 months before :

Christened 25 Jul 1790 Bamber-Bridge, Lancashire, Betty Knowles daughter of Thomas Knowles and Dorothy Knowles. ^[4]

These are christening dates, not birth dates, so it is possible that these 2 births were in fact more than 9 months apart . . .

It is also possible that there are 2 Thomas Knowles , one married to Dolly the other to Dorothy, and that Dolly is not merely the nickname for Dorothy.

Supporting the assumption that Dolly and Dorothy are the same person married to the same Thomas, are the following 2 records for another child's christening:

Christened 01 May 1785 TURTON, LANCASHIRE, John Knowles son of Thomas Knowles and Dorothy ^[5]

Christened 01 May 1785 Turton, Lancashire, John Knowles son of Thomas Knowles and Dolly Knowles ^[6]
