HI Peter,
Thanks for your email back regarding my Gt Grandad William Leah,
and thanks for your information back, yes Harriet must have been a misspelt, as I thought that was the dates I needed, so I have just sent off for the marriage certifcate of  William Leah and Hannah Whittle.  so will no eventually who the father was, will get back to you then.
I still have your earlier emails with info about Joseph and Rebecca.

Regards

Hi Peter,
I have at last got arround to getting William Leah and Hannah Whittles marriage certifcate,
and yes you was  correct.  On the certifcate it says William and Hannah was marrried Jan 31st 1870 St Marks church Parish of Bredbury  William is 20 and Hannnah 19, father of William was the Joseph like you said, and John was Hannnahs father , and I believe that to be correct as my third cousin is related to whittles and said  Hannnahs father was a John whittle, so I am very pleased with this result now I can get further back probably , but I  will have to get Joseph and his wife Rebeccas marriage certificate,
I should also get the correct  William Leah's birth certifcate, has I have the wrong one, the one I got was of a William Leah born 1847 Bramhall. I take it the correct William Leah birth certifcate would be born wimslow, 1848 or 1850 going off the census dates.

So thanks again for all your help.

Regards
Barbara Mcvey(Leah)

Hi Barbara 

            Pleased you have the right family now, the CheshireBMD site shows your William Leah born 1849 Wilmslow, the link below is to the application form, as you say it is in Wilmslow.

Hopefully we will find the parents to be Joseph and Rebecca(H).

I would suggest that the correct marriage for them would be 1848 at Wilmslow Joseph to Rebecca Hammond.
Below is the link to the marriage cert application form from CheshireBMD

If the marriage cert confirms the parants of Joseph and Rebecca we can then search backwards to find their ancestors.

good luck
