Not a problem. If there is anything else I can look up for you at Manchester Library please let me know. As long as you know the date I will gladly do it.
Glad it helped.

Does the library have records going back to 1827?

Looking for the marriage of George Wilson & Sarah Taylor married on January 5, 1827 in Manchester Cathedral.  I would like to know if the record will give me the bridesgroom's birth location or county and maybe his father's name.

Thomas Sweeney - minor - bachelor - sawyer - lived Newton - father - Michael Sweeney - labourer

Ann Corcoran - minor - spinster - lived Newton - father John Corcoran - labourer

Thomas signed his name/Ann marked with a cross

Yes it should give the address of the father but not where born only where lived !

Yes these records are kept at Manchester although the earlier marriages do not have the father's name.
I am not sure when they started to include this info  but will look for you next week.

Hi Aud,
I have read your info re Manchester Cathedral marriages.
My gggrdparents on my Moms side were married there. I have tried to get the certs but being in Canada and that do not take phone requests I have been reluctant to send my Visa etc #s to them.
If you are going to search there and if it is convenient, I would like to ask you if you could look up the marriage record.  I am most interested in the parents of the groom and bride, I understand usually the father only is listed.
the couple are.
John Dolan  and Elizabeth Merner  married 1840
Manchester Cathedral
Reg. at Manchester.
ref CATH/14/51

If you could do this I would be very grateful, if you dont have the opportunity dont worry about it, and thanks anyways.

Hi Audrey,
I was wondering if you could do two lookups for me at the Cathedral whenever you get the time. I would really like the copies of the certificates if possible.
When I contacted the records department I was told that they weren't able to do any lookups at the moment and I can't get there myself unfortunately.
The first one is a marriage on 23rd October 1810 between Thomas Duxbury and Jane Baron, and the second is the baptism of their son William on 28th July 1813.
I know that the earlier records don't have much information on them but I would really like copies if possible as I know for certain that Thomas and Jane are my gggggrandparents.
I am willing to reimburse to you for any expenses you may incur as well as travel expenses to and from Manchester.
Meanwhile, if you need anything looking up in Liverpool, please let me know.
Regards.
Viv.

Ted and Viv
Will look these up for you with pleasure and let you have details.
Viv
Copiers are a bit hit and miss as to whether they work or not but if possible will get a copy of marriage certificate. The baptism will only be from parish registers so won't be as detailed as a birth certificate.
Will get details this time and if you still want a copy will get it again.
