dear audrey, thanks i've finally found a date 11th november,1844 for James Unsworth and Elizabeth Chantler.

Kate and John

Here are the details you asked for
Marriage at M/c Cathedral on 4/6/1835

John Barlow Jnr, bachelor of this parish and township of Ardwick, gentleman and Alice Turner spinster of Cheetham were married by licence.
Both signed the register.
Witnesses Mary Barlow, Richard Doncaster ?Harriet  ?arder, John Barlow, Ann Barlow and Thomas Warner.

I have never seen a marriage with so many witnesses before and am not certain that Richard's name was Doncaster but that is what it looked like, likewise harriet's surname, couldn't make out what the first letter was.
Unfortunately, no fathers name was given in early registers but it does show where both parties lived. Hope it is of some help.

 Unsworth & Chantler.
Found nothing on the date you gave me but found it on 24/11/1844.

James Unsworth - full age - bachelor - joiner - 20 Portland St - father James - wheelwright
Elizabeth Chantler - full age - spinster - 16 Booth St, Chorlton on Medlock - father Thomas - miller
James was literate/Elizabeth was not.
Witnesses George heap and John Howgate who were both literate.

Hope this helps you both a little.

It does give her father's name and occupation, it was Thomas and he was a miller. I think you were so excited you missed it.
Audrey
