Title: John Kearsley - Maltster of Chester, Cheshire
Post by: jewelz on Sunday 21 September 14 06:58 BST (UK)

Hi all,
I am looking for the marriage of John  Kearsley (Maltster/Inn keeper of Foregate St, Chester)and Elizabeth ?.  All their children appear to be born in Chester so I assume that is where they married about 1809 but I cannot find a record
Mary  Kearsley  1810 Elizabeth  John  Chester, Holy Trinity 
Thomas  Kearsley  1812 Elizabeth  John  Chester, St Oswald 
George  Kearsley  1815 Elizabeth  John  Chester, St Oswald
Edward  Kearsley  1817 Elizabeth  John  Chester, St John the Baptist
Thomas  Kearsley  1819 Elizabeth  John  Chester, St John the Baptist
Emma  Kearsley  1821 Elizabeth  John  Chester, St John the Baptist   
Edward  Kearsley  1822 Elizabeth  John  Chester, St John the Baptist
James  Kearsley  1825 Elizabeth  John  Chester, St John the Baptist 
Elizabeth  Kearsley  1826 Elizabeth  John  Chester, St John the Baptist
Charles  Kearsley  1828 Elizabeth  John  Chester, St John the Baptist       
George  Kearsley  1830 Elizabeth  John  Chester, St John the Baptist 
Ellen/Hellen Kearsley 1832 Chester

John Kearsley after Elizabeth's death in 1836, next married in 1840 Jane Peacock of the "Blossoms Inn", Chester. Cannot find them in the 1841 or 1851 Census and John Kearsley died 1851. Jane appears in the 1861 and 1871 census records. Edward Kearsley appears with Jane in the 1871 census as a Visitor - Wool Buyer, with stepmother Jane Peacock/Kearsley

any help much appreciated

Hi jewelz,

Have you tried
http://cgi.csc.liv.ac.uk/~cprdb/

I can't see a marriage for John and Elizabeth but can see Elizabeth's death and baptisms for the children baptised at St John.
The marriage of John and Jane Peacock is on there and describes Jane as the "celebrated landlady of the Blossoms buried in St John's Churchyard 1880"

At the time of Thomas's baptism in 1812 his father John is listed as a book keeper. In 1815 at the time of George's baptism John is listed as a clerk in the brewery living at King Street

Thanks for the great tips guys. Looks like the St Oswalds Marriage 1808 must be the one as there don't appear to be any other John and Elizabeth Kearsley having children.
 Thanks Kay
