Hi Chez,
That's no problem at all. I hope you're well and feeling better?
I am directly related to John. He's a 5th great-grandad on my mum's side.
The information you've found would explain why we've been struggling to find any info in Bolton!
Are you also related to John and Betty? How did you know to look into Rochdale? This is all very fascinating. I would love to know that if the marriage ban you've found is definitely the John and Betty we are looking for, why their son William was born 1815/1816. It may mean there are other children that died before this date?
Thanks very much for your reply. I hope that this has put us both on the right track. I will definitely be doing further research into this.
Have you tried ancestry.com? I managed to track down some photographs of William and family from the late 1880s/ early 90s. I would be more than happy to send these to you if you wanted.
Thanks again and best wishes,
Adam
