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.
:-D

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.

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.
