This means Ellen was the daughter of Thomas and Ann Thornley (nee Boulton). She was baptised when nearly 50 and so had no godparents. To have got married at St Wilfrid’s RC Church she would have had to make an oath that she would not prevent her family from practising the RC religion. However, at the time she would not have had to be converted to Catholicism. Something changed her mind in 1872 and it was probably because her son John (born before she married William) married in 1866 as a Catholic and so Ellen also became ‘respectable’ by being baptised. On the 1871 Census John started using the Thornley surname again.
