Cheshire Parish Records Marriages only pre 1837

[rosndel]

Hi,

I am wanting to discover what happened to the family of Thomas and Martha Dean of Bollington, whose children were Nancy born 1790, James born 1792, William born 1794, Mary born 1796, Betty born 1798, and Thomas born 1801. They were all born in Bollington and baptized at Pott Shrigley Chapelry.

I am wondering whether any of the above names might appear on the indexes as being married at Prestbury St Peter between about 1810 to registration in 1837.

If this is too big an ask I will understand - but I would appreciate any input. Thank you.

Hi I have just discovered this site am I right in thinking someone out there can look up a marraige for me?  If so any chance of finding one for Kate Reynolds also previously known as Roberts to Alf Williams probably in Eastham Parish Church somewhere between 1881 and 1886.  Family history tells us that Kate's birth surname was Roberts and she is registered as such on the 1871 Census but she married someone with the surname Reynolds who turned out to be a bigamist so the marraige was void.  However on the 1881 Census she is listed as Reynolds and as a widow.  The children's birth certificates show Roberts and Reynolds both as previous names.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Fidgit and welcome to Rootschat,

The marriage that Dee posted is also on www.lancashirebmd.org.uk giving the Church:

Kate REYNOLDS m Alfred WILLIAMS 1884 Our Lady & St Nicholas & St Anne

I'd suggest that you post on the Lancashire board if you want any more information on the marriage and I'm sure someone will be able to help you.

Hi rosndel,

There are pages of DEAN marriages and it isn't possible for me to search by parish.  Why don't you see if any of the males can be found individually on the 1851 census as a starting point - just post on the main lookup board.

Hi Fidgit,

It was quite common for people from Wirral to marry in Liverpool for various reasons.  There was another thread about this recently, here is the link:

Dear Peter,
I just found your reply to Godfrey about the marriage of George Peake and Mary Newton in Astbury December 1822.  Does it specifically give her maiden name as Newton???
You mention that it was in the Bertram Merril index of  marriages.  What is that???  Tell me how I can use that as a source for the marriage???
I would appreciate any info you can give me.  I am new to rootschat so I am just trying to find my way around.

Hi Jean,

Thanks for your reply to my Dean request. I have access to the 1851 census without any joy in finding my names. None of them admit to being born in Bollington anyway.

I have a copy of Bertram Merrill and Phillimore, but is there some other CD I could buy that would enable me to search for marriages in Prestbury Parish? Thank you for your time.

Hi Alane and a warm welcome to Rootschat,

There are a couple of indexes to marriages for the Cheshire area that have been published on CD by the Cheshire Family History Society.   They are an index only so don't give the full details of the parish register entry but do give the date and the church so that you know where to look.  None of them are complete, coverage of some parishes is better than others so it very much depends where your research is.  The entry you are looking at has:

George PEAK, bricklayer m Mary NEWTON p. Sw 23 Dec 1822 Astbury.

I don't know what p. Sw means after Mary's name, p is probably for parish indicating that she wasn't from Astbury.

You could contact Cheshire Records Office for the details of the entry, or order a photocopy for a small fee, their website is: http://www.cheshire.gov.uk/recoff/home.htm

Hello!

My ggg-grandparents, James TRAVIS and Elizabeth (or Betty) WILD were married in Mottram in Longendale on 8 Oct 1825.  I was wondering if the parish register shows names of witnesses or any additional details at all? 

Thanks in advance,

Arkay
