Hello Linda,
I've had a bit of a root around today and may have something of interest for you.
Starting with Luke F. born 1744 in Aughton; there is a marriage at St Cuthbert's, Halsall to Mary Thomson (of this parish) on 18 Dec 1763
Marriage reg 1754 - 1787; Pg 28; Entry 111.
As has been previously posted, there was a marriage at St M's on 15 September 1730 between a John and Margaret King.
However, - not a million miles away - there is a marriage on 1 Jun 1739 at St Helen's Church, Sefton, Lancashire, England
John Fairclough & Ellen Heys, both of this parish, published.
If John was working / lodging within the parish of Sefton, only one set of banns would be needed. Just a thought . . .
There is a much later entry for Maghull; interesting because the father is a tailor:
Marriage: 27 Dec 1865 St Andrew, Maghull, Lancashire, England
John Fairclough - (X), 22 Farm labourer Bachelor of Halsall
Mary Bond - 20 Spinster of Halsall
Groom's Father: Thomas Fairclough, Tailor
Bride's Father: Matthew Bond, Labourer
Witness: James Bond; Margaret Bond
Married by Banns by: Joseph Lyon Incumbent
Register: Marriages 1837 - 1919, Page 106, Entry 211
Possibly two generations later
Well it's getting to be late, so I'll sign off for time being
Hope the above is of interest and doesn't muddy the waters too much!!
