He died before 1851, as in the 1851 census, his wife was listed as widowed. In 1851, Jane Pennington (57) and Thomas Pennington were living in Ashton in Makerfield, Lancashire.[11][12]
His wife's name was recorded as Jane in the baptisms of the first six children; in Betsy's baptism, it was Jenny, matching the marriage record. I've seen Jenny used before as a nickname for Jane in records (-Morris-18630)
