Hi Jen
All the catholic records revealed were their names.They married on the 23rd 1819 at the Wigan Parih church by banns Hugh Hickox and Sam Vizard were witnesses.Intrigued by the two marriages I had a look at the baptisms and found Margaret Hurst born 27th August 1799 baptised30th August 1799 daughter of Thomas and Margaret Mofs[wonder if that should be Moss] Sponsers were James and Ann Hurst I will have to check their surname must have had a senior moment and forgot to write it down but I am almost sure it was Hurst.
Hi DOtty thanks so much for your help!! One cant expect everything to be easy!
Im probably typing this after a tiring day so excuse any confusions i may have

When you say you looked for Margt HURST's baptism was that in the Catholic records??
I did a quick check for a marriage of THomas and Margaret on the IGI, Margaret is listed as MOSS and the marriage occured in Billinge in 1788 so i guess that must be the one then.
Another quicky, what do "sponsors" mean??
Also i dont mean to be cheeky but did you happen to notice any baptism for William HURST abt the time of Margaret Hursts marriage to Robert BANKS??
If you dont have time then dont worry yourself!!
Thanks again though for all your help, much appreciated!!
Regards Jen
