Hi,
Could someone please lookup the parish register or Bishop Transcripts for Great and Little Clifton? I am trying to find the marriage of Joseph Miller and Margaret Shilton sometime after 1851. Their daughter Elizabeth was born 27 May 1855 at Bridgefoot, Cumberland.
On the 1851 census Margaret is living with her parents William Shilton and Margaret Murray at Clifton.
On the 1861 census Joseph Miller gives his birthplace as Gosforth in 1833 but he isn't listed there on the 1841 census. There is a Joseph Miller in Clifton in 1841: Ref: HO107/159/4, folio 6 page 22. Living with a Richard Miller, 65 Weaver, Jane do 25 and Joseph do 6. All born in county. Is this him? I can't move any further without his marriage to try and find a father's name.
I have searched the GRO marriages and can't find them - help......
I am really grateful for any help on this one.
Karen
