Thomas Lancaster C1850 - Macclesfield
I am trying to verify the parents of Thomas Lancaster born approx 1850 in either Macclesfield or Biddulph. He married Ellen Bailey (Bayley) on 12/2/1872 and had a least one daughter Hannah (my great grandmother) born 1874. Thomas's trail has been difficult to follow as, depending on which census you look at, his birth is from 1846 to 1852 !! he also appears to be unsure where he was born as the early census give him as Macclesfield and the 1901 as Biddulph. Unfortunately the discrepancies mean there are two possibilities for his parents. Any information which could give more information would be grately appreciated.
