The above are brothers born in Burnley, Lancashire to Ann E Holgate and Shadrack Duckworth. I have been unable to find deaths with the years of birth or any subsequent marriage for either of them. Any assistance would be much appreciated. I am at a library but am logged on each day at some point many thanks

Could Ann have remarried after Shadrack's death and the children taken on her husband's surname?

There are a couple of marriages for the name Ann E. Duckworth but without knowing more about her it is difficult to decide if one of them might be her.
