Wow thankyou so much.
Never knew about some of the things you suggest.
Would that information be found at the local library?
I found the jurors lists at Central Library Manchester.
I have tried newspapers with no results.
How would I find leased? Where would I find Quarter session petitions please?

I appreciate all the suggestions but I am unsure as to how I respond directly to each helpful person.
I do not think Phoebe is a sibling to Ralph and Abraham as Ralph was born 1788 but was baptised at Monton Green with his brother Abraham in 1791.
As Phoebe was baptised at the mother church of St Mary The Virgin in 1789 I am wondering why, if Ralph was her brother, he wasn't baptised with her instead of in 1791.
The newspaper article is interesting.
From the jurors lists James appears to have been born in c 1750. The marriage of a James MARSH to Mary Howarth in 1788 suggests this James was born c 1768 not 1750. Of course ages may not be accurate and perhaps, because Mary was 19 he falsified his age!
I did wonder how my James could become a juror if he was a mere weaver as he wouldn't have earned enough to be a freeholder. However the address given on the jurors lists record him as living at Oak Gate Unsworth which is where subsequent members of his family continued to live. It was a hamlet of just a few cottages and his son and grandchildren can still be found living in Oak Gate on several censuses.
If, as the newspaper suggests that James Marsh was a farmer and dealer then this James would very likely be a fredholder. Pilkington covered a wider area than tiny Unsworth although Unsworth was in Pilkington.
The plot thickens....
Garstonite..I have just seen your notification.
I do have those baptisms thankyou. They are indeed all my family but James isn't buried at St George's either.

I have a James MARSH who I have found on three Jurors lists 1799. 1805 and 1809 living at Oak Gate Unsworth Pilkington.
His age suggests that he was born circa 1750.
He had two sons, Ralph and Abraham both baptised together in 1791 in Monton, Eccles .
Seems to have moved to Unsworth sometime after 1791.
His decendants are mostly buried at St Mary The Virgin Prestwich but I cannot find him there. Nor can I find him at St George Unsworth.
Can anyone suggest where he may be buried please?

Is there anyone out there who could find out details of the death of an ancestor in Swann County, Perth Western Australia please? I know he is dead but I cannot find any details. His name was Alexander Bond-Hughes.  Also, his wife Pamela Margaret Bond-Hughes. She also died in Swann County, Perth, Australia. Both would have been in the late 1900's...1990ish? Alex was born in Wales in 1926.

Found TWO weddings ...1 at St Paul's Knightsbridge June 3rd 1931 but also St George's Hanover Square June 1st 1931. Same couple same parents etc. Anyone any ideas as to why?
Many thanks for the above information.
