Vernon's of Little Budworth

[BumbleB]

Plan B  as I think that I cannot post a photograph on a look-up board - so I'll put it on the Cheshire board and cross-reference it to this thread (with the same title).

Hi Lynn
I know that some time has passed but I do have relevant information regarding Joseph Vernon b 1821 whose parents are indeed Joseph Vernon and Mary Towers.  If you are still looking and would like this information (or if anyone else reading this feed would like it) then please post and I'll reply.
Thanks

Hi mrs Anderson, as you say it's been awhile since I've done any family history but any leads are so intrigueing would love to know what you have. I will need to go and have a look at my records now.

Hi Lynn
My interest in the Vernon family is a slightly different angle. My gt gt gt gt grandfather is a Henry Towers.  His birth certificate showed his mother to be a Mary Towers and no father listed.  I thought that my search was over as it's difficult to pinpoint a father to an illegitimate child.  However, Henry's father was listed on Henry's marriage certificate and it was Joseph Vernon !!
Henry was born in 1819, Joseph and Mary got married in 1821 (and she must have been pregnant again with Joseph Vernon jnr !).  They got married in Great Budworth and lived in Little Budworth thereafter.  I'm not sure why they got married in a different place but Henry is listed at Little Budworth for his birth and so I can only think that there may not have been a priest in place at Little Budworth in 1821 for when they got married.
I live three miles away from Great Budworth and have visited the graveyard and found nothing.  Little Budworth is about six miles away and I understand Joseph and Mary are buried there.  Henry Towers along with four generations of my family are in St Mary's churchyard, Sandiway (about eight miles away).
I have three other children for Joseph and Mary (Ann, Martha and Abraham).  If you need any other info, I'll be pleased to help.

My apologies but Great Budworth and Little Budworth are at least 10 miles apart, with Northwich in between    I find it rather strange that two people who say they are born in Little Budworth, lived in Little Budworth and died in Little Budworth, should get married in Great Budworth.  Are you sure you're talking about the same couple - Vernon is a fairly common name in the area.
