Hi Ken, I took a look on Lancashirebmd and found her birth.  Then I looked at possible marriages in Wigan and there are two for a Rachel Ashurst, one at St. Catharine's in Wigan in 1871 and the other at St. David's Haigh in Wigan in 1877.  Don't know if either of those sound right. Unfortunately, I couldn't see any for Upholland.  R.

ps. there was one at St. John's Pemberton in 1906 but though that was a little late although Pemberton is not that far from Upholland.

However i already have her Birth cert & Marr 1877 Haigh & Aspull. I also have her Parents marr cert, Josephs Fath was Thomas  but Mary's Atherton's was un-named/ -
Im Sorry for any inconvenience if had known it had been moved i would have changed the posts wording.

No problem Ken.  Hope you find what you are looking for.  By the way, I have connections at St. David's Haigh so if you are not local and need anything from there that I can help with, just say so.  Regards.R.
