Hello,
I have the marriage certificate for Fred HOWARTH and Miranda CLITHEROE.

Marriage took place at the Trinity Wesleyan Chapel, Tellon Lane, Halifax, on 22 June, 1907. Bride was 26 years, groom 27 years.

Brides's father Samuel Clitheroe; groom's father William Howarth.
I know the groom's mother was Susan BERRY.

Can anyone tell me any more about these families?

There is a marriage on freebmd in Halifax in jun qtr 1865 ...the year seems feasible and more realistic ...for
Samuel Clitheroe to either a Mary Ann Bark or ANN Wood  ....the only possible marriage I can find ...so if it is them ...no children from 1865 to 1876 ??.....11 years ...

this looks a bit suspect...I wonder if they died in a fire or from disease ?

SNAP Rosie...as I was posting...what do you think of those 4 babies all dying Halifax /dec qtr 1870...not a common name in Halifax...they are the only 4 deaths from 1865 to 1876 when Minnie was born ??

Charlie, Fred and Harry were all christened at St Thomas, Charleston, Halifax 24th July 1870 parents Samuel and Ann.  Samuel and Ann are on their own in 1871.

Sorry can't post any more details at the moment OH has just put my dinner on the table.
