Thomas
SHORROCKS married Emma CALDWELL
on 2 October 1867 at Manchester Cathedral. He was a 25
year old bachelor living at Varna
Street, Openshaw and worked as a boiler maker, as
did his father, John SHORROCKS. Emma was also 25 years
old and lived near Thomas at 3
Lees Streeet. Her father John
CALDWELL, was a plumber. Both Thomas and Emma could
write, as can be seen from the digitised version of their
marriage certificate. The witnesses were John STOTT and
Mary HOLLINGWORTH.
