Thomas Dilworth

Thomas Dilworth, our earliest Quaker ancestor that we can be sure of.
Married three times.
(I have used a combination of the quaker registers to work out some of the names and dates.)
I think he had 16 children altogether.
Presenting the information here in the form of a timeline.
Please check my maths - I often make mistakes.
Dates are given as recorded.

RG6/1004 MM Lancaster

birth Jennet Dillworth daughter of Thomas of Bradley Hall 27.1.1684
burial Sarah Dillworth wife of Tho. of Bradley Hall buryed at Newton 16.4.1687
So after nearly 7 years of marriage Thomas was left a widower with two small girls, Hannah nearly 6 and Jennet 3.

(second marriage)

When he married Mary. Daughters Hannah would be nearly 8, and Jennet 5.
RG6/1210
John Dilworth son of Thomas & Mary was born the 16 of 11 month 1691
Sarah Dilworth daughter of Thomas & Mary was born the 27 day of 10th month 1692
Mary Dilworth daughter of Thomas & Mary was born the first day of the 9 month 1694
??oraty daughter of Thomas Dilworth & Mary was born 25 day of 11 month 1696/7
Lydia Dilworth daughter of Thomas & Mary of Morehead in Wiersdale was born the fourth day of 5th month 1699

Jennet Dilworth daughter of Thomas Dilworth by his first wife of Morehead in Wiersdale died the 13th day of the 5th month & was buried the 15th of the same at Lancaster in the yeare 1699.
(Jennet would have been 15)
Mary Dilworth wife of Thomas Dilworth of Morehead in Wiersdale died the 22d of the 12 month and was buried the 24th of the same in ye yeare 1699/70 buried at Lancaster.
So Thomas is a widower with children Hannah 17, John 8, Sarah 7, Mary 5, Dorathy? 3 and baby Lydia 7 months.

(I have not found any other references to Dorathy?, it is possible she may have died. So I shall leave her   out hereafter.)

RG6/1210
Th.....worth of Wiersdale & Ann Driver married att John Bonds of Dunishaw 15 March 1704
witnesses
William Berket or Becket Junior
Thomas Wright
Elizabeth Winder
Sarah Knowles
Isabell Neales or Wales or Berket?

At this time, Hannah would be about 21, John about 12, Sarah 11, Mary 9, Lydia nearly 5 (brains getting tired need to think about the ages again - confusing with the old dates)
So Ann was taking on quite a family. This was her second marriage and I think (only think, she may have had a son John Driver born 1699, so he would have been the same age as Lydia)

Again from RG6/1210
