Name Emma LORD Relationship 
with Teresa Ann GOATHAM Born 8 Jan 1868 Shawforth, Lancashire, England

The baptism was shown as "Sub conditione" i.e. a conditional baptism, suggesting there was some uncertainty about the validity of her original baptism (since her mother was still living presumably she could have checked with her as to whether she had actually been baptised)

Her godmother was one Bridget Morris.

Family 3 John William CROWTHER, b. Mar Q 1865, Shawforth, Lancashire, England
Married Bef 1900 - John and Emma were living as man and wife at the time of the 1901 census. The reason they had not actually married may have been because Emma's husband Butterworth Gregory was still living (and divorce not readily available).
The birth of their son George William had been registered the previous year by Emma alone, who gave her true name at that time, and John was not mentioned on the registration (he would have ahd to be present for that to happen), but George was with John's mother by the time of the 1911 census.
