There was a John Ecroide baptised 5 June 1621 in Burnley.  At this point the Quaker religion had not yet come into being so his parents were of the Established Church.  This John married a Mary Wilkinson in St Peters Burnley on 14th April 1645.  Some consider she also went by the name Elizabeth who was born 1626 the daughter of James Wilkinson of Monks Hall Extwistle Burnley roughly 5 miles from Folds House.

There was a child of the marriage namely John born 18th Nov 1649 baptised St Peters Burnley. There would only be one child of this marriage as John the father died 10th Sep 1649 with the family story being that he was returning from Gawthorpe Hall in Burnley and was found dead in Swinecarr Woods but it is not reported if this death was a natural one, a crime or an accident.
