If you took Mary's age from the census, it could easily be wrong. People of more than 15 years of age had their ages rounded down to the nearest 5. But location-wise the baptism is a problem. Eccleston and Heskin are west of Chorley and southwest of Preston. Have you proof that she was born at Thornley?
