Hi - I would be very grateful if anyone with access to Great Budworth records could check a BMD for me.
IGI has Mary Dickens marrying Theophilus Whittaker on 3 Nov 1829 in Great Budowrth. It would be really amazing if the marriage record has useful things like abode and occupation in it..... ::)
Now Theophilus, who may well have been a waterman, dies before 1835 - I can not find any record of his death though, and wonder if that is also Great Budworth. (In 1835, Mary Dickens-Whittaker remarries - to Thomas Dutton, in Liverpool.)
On Ancestry, the following Whittaker records came up for baptisms in Great Budworth: William 9/11/1794, Thomas 16/9/1798 and Sarah, 12/7/1801. All of these are children of a Theophilus Whittaker. I do not think this is the same Theo. who married Mary, but it could be his father. Any info. appreciated.
Thank you very much, Lesley

Most pre 1837 marriges only give bride and grooms name, status, date, whether of the parish and witnesses.

Thank you so much for your response to this - I didn't know that Familysearch have the "beta" site up and running - last time I tried I couldn't get in using Safari, but could with Firefox - now it seems both work, and as Great Budworth records seem to be well covered, I won't have to bother you again! Thanks once again.
