Title: Blowers
Post by: still-lookin on Tuesday 19 February 13 09:11 GMT (UK)
I am trying to trace a Mahala Blowers, the only info I have is that she was a witness at William Blowers & Ellen Watts ( my great great grand fathers wedding) which was in the Parish church of Middleton 0n the 10th of August 1848. Any help will be very much appreciated

Presumably you mean Middleton in Suffolk?
And not Middleton in Cheshire or Lancashire? ;D

Probably this one?

Looking at 1841 census, the Mahala that KG found has an older brother called William which would tie in with the wedding.  Who does William say is his father on his marriage cert?

Thank you so much, that solves a lot.
The name of the father on the marriage cert was John Blowers, so now the pieces are coming together.
