Dear Dottie

Thank you for all your time and effort.  I really do not have a lot more detail.  Only the census record in 1851 when she is married, living in Birmingham, with her place of birth shown as Blackburn, Lancs.   

I am searching for her marriage registration to William Davis, either in Blackburn or Bham, as this would give her father's name and her address at date of marriage.  If I come across anything I will contact you.

Thanks again

Hi Dotty, Thanks very much for taking the time to look for me anyway.

Hi Dotty, please would it be possible for you to try another couple of churches that have been suggested to me for my John and Sarah Steeple's marriage the next time that you are at the Lancashire Records Office. They are Oldham St Mary's and Bury St Mary's. Just to recap John and Sarah's first child was born in 1808.

Would be very grateful for any help you could give me.

Dottyave you got Joseph and Elizabeth on the51 and 61?

Hello Dotty - I have only just seen this thread and maybe too late. If I am - please don't worry.
My G.Gt.Grandfather was born in Wigan in 1825 and married a Mary Ann Farrell. Their first child was born in Rouen - France in 1846.
I have searched all over for a marriage entry for them without success and thought they might just have been recorded in the Lancashire Record Office for a marriage c1845.
As I say - if you are unable to look  I understand.
Kind regards.........

Hi Dotty

Thanks for replying. I have Joesph and Elizabeth on the 51 and 61 Census. Robert and his Elizabeth on the 61 Census. Robert and Elizabeth then went to Australia but the rest of the family seems to have disappeared, they dont seem to be on the 71 Census am not sure if the census was compulsary. I have Joseph Dying in 1876 courtesy of the Free BDM's site.

Thanks

Kristy
