Looking for any info on marriage of John Todd ex Appleby and Sarah Thorley ex Cheshire about 1864 to 1868
-
Hi
If the marriage is not on any of the partially transcribed websites -you will need to check for it on the full GRO index which is available at your nearest main library or via an Ancestry subscription
As Sarah was born in Cheshire and their first son was also born Cheshire - it's more likely that's where the marriage took place rather than Westmoreland
-
This is the 1871 census for them - the image shows Tod
John 29 b Appleby - Yorkshire
Sarah 22 b Cheshire - Bollington
John 3 b Bollington
William 2 mths b Lancashire Halewood
They were living as lodgers with William & Ann Eastman at Gerrards Lane Halewood
The 1861 confirms Sarah's birthyear as 1849 - her parents were William & Ellen
-
thank you. We have all census info, just cannot find marriage anywhere
-
Two possibilities
They never married
They married a long time after 1867 - possibly if John married between 1861-1866 then left his wife in favour of Sarah. They would have had to wait until she died
