Title: The Unitarian Chapel, Renshaw Street, Liverpool - Look up request
Post by: Chestergirl on Friday 15 February 13 16:13 GMT (UK)

Hi there

I wonder is there anyone kind enough to do a look up for a marriage deemed to have taken place there around 1799 - 1820's??  Bit vague I know but family history has a William Campbell marrying Jane Elizabeth Roscoe reputedly the daughter of William Roscoe.  I am aware that William Roscoe did indeed have a daughter Jane Elizabeth but she certainly didn't marry my several XG Granddad!!
The family law is quite specific about the place just not the date.  I am told William came from Scotland to Liverpool and married Jane on his way to Chester.
Here's hoping anyway!!  Many thanks in anticipation.

I can tell you that the marriage would not have taken place at any Unitarian Chapel.  All  English marriages between 1754 and 1837 had to be performed in a Church of England Parish church by a member of the Church of England clergy regardless of religion apart from Quakers and Jews.

Thank you for that - it is most helpful.  Unfortunately you have confirmed that the marriage is all an illusion!!

Many thanks indeed.
