Hi Allan. I have just started researching my Iddison line. I have a marriage registration for Ann Iddison marrying William Watson. Ann would by my great great grandmother (born about 1847) and living in Kirkby Malzeard. I looked on a 1861 census and found a family consisting of William and Jane (heads) with an Ann (listed as mother, I assume to William) and then children Mary, John, William, Jane, Margaret, Marie, and Thomas. Does this mesh with any of your information.
I look forward to hearing from you.
