Can anyone help?
I'm looking for birth details and parents for Alice Mayor born abt 1766. She married John Hornby 5 Feb 1794 at Garstang, Lancashire. She died 23 Aug 1848 in Lytham, Lancs and was buried at Goosnargh.

Hi,

 

www.familysearch.org is giving a christening date of 30 Apr 1766 in Hutton, Lancashire.

I think it is a submitted record so will need to be double checked.  No mention of parents names though.

This is the marriage from www.lan-opc.org.uk

Marriage: 5 Feb 1794 St Helen, Garstang, Lancashire, England
John Hornby - Batchelor of Garstang
Alice Mayor - Spinster of the Chapelry of Goosnarg
    Witness: Thamas [sic] Harrison; Mary Bradshaw
    Married by Licence by: James Fisher Vicar
    Notes: [Groom signed John Horndy, Bride signed Alice Mayor]
    Register: Marriages 1781 - 1802, Page 124, Entry 507
    Source: LDS Film 1278886

I think even if you checked the original, the fathers names were not recorded back then so I think you best hope is to try and check the original christening record.

You could try Lancashire Records Office at Preston.  If you can't visit in person they will help by email and if they have the record will photocopy it for you but there will be a charge.

Hope this helps.
