If I could get to you I'd kiss you!!! LOL.  You don't know how long I've been looking for this information!  I truly appreciate you taking the time to look this up for me. 

I am trying to scan all documents that I can, is there any paperwork that can be scanned or sent to me?  Or am I pushing it?

If you need anything from Canada, please let me know!

I am looking for information on one of my ancestors, Mary Ann Barber.  Her father John Barber (b. about 1790-1800) was a gardener who lived at 5 Lord Street, Chorlton upon Medlock as of 1837 (per Mary Ann's marriage certificate).   On the 1861 Census, she was listed as being born in Scarboro, Yorkshire.  She married Thomas Chorlton in 1937, b. about 1817 and had at least one child Catherine Chorlton.  At some point they must have moved to Manchester.

I am looking for birth information so I can try an locate her Mother's name and/or marriage information about John (father).

I received a bit of information from another person on this chat site, Andrea as follows:   "On the 1871 census her middle name is Jane - quite clear.  Is that right or should it be Ann as you put?   Again it says Scarborough as place of birth and husband Thomas, a chimney sweep.   It might be worth asking for a 41/51 look-up on the Lancashire board to see if they are still in Cholrton and her parents might be there too."

Any assistance you can provide would be appreciated.

Thank you,

I am trying to locate more information about my ancestors John Roberts and Elizabeth Rowland.  Below, I have found information about their marriage, but because it occurred prior to 1837 I have been having a hard time getting a copy through the normal channels.  The main thing that I need to find out is their parents names and information so I can look further back.

Parish of Hinton St Mary  MARRIAGES 1732 to 1847

Transcribed  from the Bishops Transcripts and randomly checked against Parish Registers  to 1805, by Lynda Mudle-Small,
December 2002. The parish registers record marriages from 1581.
1808 John ROBERTS bachelor & Elizabeth ROWLAND spinster both of this parish were married 6-Dec by banns (BT)

John was born in about 1788, Elizabeth was born about the same time.  Their children include:  Luke, Matthew, John, Mark Rowland, Ester and Louisa Jane.  The brothers immigrated to Newfoundland, Canada in approximately 1849 where Mark and John settled in Bonne Bay, Newfoundland.

I also cannot find the same information in any of my other search sites (Ancestry.com, Family Search, etc.).  I would appreciate it if you could advise me how I can go about ordering a certificate or if there is someone in the area that can scan a copy and email it to me. 

I am stuck on these two people and cannot go further until I can get their marriage certificate.
 
Any assistance would be appreciated.
