Hi Richard, Isaac did not marry Margaret in 1732, or then again? I have found no marriage for him anywhere, but his son Thomas Banke was baptised 17 April 1725 at Broughton in Furness, According to the parish register any base born child would have had that applied to them, so it stands to reason he was not born out of wedlock, Isaac may have been married before, but there again no proof of it. We also have to remember that at that time boys married at about 28 years of age because the father wanted a lot of work out of them before they flew the nest, especially if they were farmers, as was Isaac. William Carter died before 1774 as Grace remarried to Jeremiah Heartly at Beckside that year. Regards, Jim.
