After a long gap I dipped back into my family history this morning and found this website, and your post. I was thrilled!
Jennet Nicholl is my three times great grandmother (female line right back). Until today I didn't know who here parents were. 20 years ago, I found in censuses that she was born in Scotland but when I tried that IGI I found too many possible Jennet Nicholl births in Scotland to follow them up. Later, I found she was baptised in the Burnley area but never followed this up by hunting for her parents there. Presumably this is what you did.
You write that you have researched many of the descendants. I don't know if you have found my line. In brief:
Jennet Nicholl m Joseph Stanworth (Burnley, 1819)
Margaret Stanworth m John Whitaker (Worsthorne, 1843)
Alice Whitaker m John Thomas Bannister (Burnley, 1883)
Mary Martha Bannister m Herbert John Hall (Barnoldswick, 1906)
My parents: Annie Hall 1908-60 (aka Hall Hartley or Hartley following her adoption) m Norman Henry Midgley 1903-1991 (Colne, 1934), two children:
My brother: Donald Edward Midgley (born Colne, 1936) m Margaret Rose Abrey (Crouch End, London, 1967)
Me: Eileen RUTH Midgley (born Colne, 1946) m David Frankland Harding (York, 1995), no children
My elder niece: Catherine JANE Midgley (born Yeovil, 1969) m Robert J. Simister (Winchester, 1996), no children
My younger niece: Laura Susan Midgley (born Yeovil, 1972) m Stephen Fietta (Tintagel, 2004), two children:
Alessia Holly Fietta (born London, 2007)
Sebastian Joseph Fietta (born London, 2009)
I hope you revisit this website and that my information is of interest to you. Thank you again for your post. I have lived in London since 1967.
