BETTY8 DOWBIGGIN (THOMAS7, JOSHUA6, THOMAS5, JOHN4, THOMAS3, JOHN2, THOMAS1) was born 1795. She married (1) MATTHEW COOKSON. She met (2) JAMES ELLERSHAW 23 October 1830 in Tatham, Lancashire. Notes for BETTY DOWBIGGIN: Since she is listed as a widow at her 1830 marriage to James Ellershaw, I am now beginning to wonder if this is perhaps not the Elizabeth Dowbiggin who married James Ellershaw, and who bore him a son four years previously. I do have her married also to a Matthew Cookson, though I have no further details. Is it possible that this is the correct Elizabeth, and that she reverted back to her maiden name after her husband Matthew Cookson died? I still don't know, as I need to obtain more information about her marriage to Cookson, and see if this was before or after her marriage to Ellershaw.
