Title: Leeds marriage 1826 - Santon, William
Post by: doctortim on Sunday 09 August 09 18:08 BST (UK)

I was wondering if anyone had access to records which would help me find out a little more about William Santon who married Charlotte Blackstone in Saint Peter, Leeds, Yorkshire in 1826? I'm trying to find out the names of William's parents - I think that he was born about 1804 in Carlisle, Cumberland.
I would be most grateful for any information relating to this marriage.
Thanks so much! :)

I can only see one extracted record on the IGI for a Wm Santon but he is ch.12.1.1801 Wainfleet All Saints, Lincoln.

Hi,

I checked that marriage record for you at Leeds Archives today.  I'm afraid it won't help you much, because as I had expected it didn't include the parents names. 

Their marriage was on 16th Oct, 1826.  William was a tailor.  Charlotte is entered as Charlotte Blakestone and the witnesses were John Gill and Robert Hargreave.

I have taken a copy for you and if you pm me your email address, I will send you a copy.

Best wishes,

Elin

I have just noticed that Robert Hargreave is witness to the other two marriages on the same page and so was probably connected to the church in some way.
