Hi all,
Could anyone possibly help trace a Charles Davenport of Acton/Barr bridge please.
I suspect he may be the father of my 3x G Grandfather James Davenport (b. 1801 in Haughton Moss) - Charles appears on James' Marriage certificate along with a Thomas Davenport. It took place on 29/12/1818 at St Boniface's Church, Bunbury, Cheshire.
I have also found a marriage for a Charles Davenport to a Martha Raddler (think I have read her surname correctly!). This marriage certificate is dated 2/07/1791, in the Parish Records for Bunbury. I understand from the assistant at the Records office that the marriage was not by Banns (by licence?), and therefore more information may be available. It was suggested that this may because one or both were very young when they married so perhaps a birth date of approximately 1773 (+/- 5 years) for Charles?
Present as witnesses at Charles' marriage were Thomas W Davenport and David Davenport - I presume some link again (might it even be the same Thomas?!?!)
It seems to me that there is a good chance there is some link between the people above, but so far I cannot find any hard evidence for it. I have looked at the Records Office (and hopefully will get back there later in the month) but am struggling to progress this any further, so any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Kwiffboy
