Here are 3 hits from http://www.lancashirebmd.org.uk/ of unknown relevance:

If one searches the 1911 via:
http://search.ancestry.co.uk/search/db.aspx?dbid=2352
then there are a number of fields one can use, including:

Sub-registration district
ED, institution, or vessel
Household schedule number
Registration district
Registration District Number
Piece
[In theory, one ought to be able to specify a piece #, like 22948 and a svhedule # like 111 and Ancestry will pick out the household. However, this is partly broken in Ancestry - it only works down south - I forget what south is, but Cheshire/Yorks are not south (nor is Wales)]

I searched for Pennington, specifying:
Sub-registration district = Standish; and
Registration district = Wigan

I found Rose's hit at:
rg14pn22948 rd458 sd1 ed1 sn111

but there's one other possibly interesting hit at:
rg14pn229050 rd458 sd1 ed4 sn93

I don't have an Ancestry sub, but using http://www.1911census.co.uk/ the names are:
Schedule type Last names First names Sex Birth year Age in 1911 District / other County / other
HOUSEHOLD SPEAKMAN MATTHIAS M 1875 36 Wigan Lancashire
HOUSEHOLD SPEAKMAN JANE F 1880 31 Wigan Lancashire
HOUSEHOLD SPEAKMAN JAMES M 1906 5 Wigan Lancashire
HOUSEHOLD SPEAKMAN MATTHIAS M 1908 3 Wigan Lancashire
HOUSEHOLD SPEAKMAN THOMAS M 1910 1 Wigan Lancashire
HOUSEHOLD HOLDING ALICE F 1890 21 Wigan Lancashire
HOUSEHOLD PENNINGTON MARY F 1895 16 Wigan Lancashire

The other h/h that should be checked is:
Schedule type Last names First names Sex Birth year Age in 1911 District / other County / other
HOUSEHOLD CROPPER JOHN M 1884 27 Wigan Lancashire
HOUSEHOLD CROPPER MARTHA F 1889 22 Wigan Lancashire
HOUSEHOLD CROPPER JOHN THOMAS M 1909 2 Wigan Lancashire
HOUSEHOLD CROPPER WINEFRED F 1910 1 Wigan Lancashire
[rg14pn22951 rd458 sd1 ed4 sn227 ]

Perhaps someone with an Ancestry or FMP sub can check out those two 1911's to see if Mary/Martha being sibs of Isaac is plausible.

Three possible children to that marriage, last one called Winifred like Isaac's mother so looks likely...you can find their births using Pennington/Hulme surnames on freebmd.org.uk , could still be living.

David Report 9 Apr 2015 20:09

I am trying to find descendants of Thomas Pennington (Born 1857) and Winifred Walders ( Born 1859). They lived in Standish (Wigan) and Barrow in Furness.

They had seven children:

Rebecca ( born 1879)
John (born 1880)
Timothy (born 1886)
Martha (born 1889)
Isaac (born 1891)
Mary (born 1895)
Annie (born 1898)

Apart from the descendants of Rebecca Pennington, who was my grandmother, I am struggling to get information regarding the families of the other siblings. Any further information would be greatly appreciated.
