I can see a few possible siblings but have nothing to pull them together as a family of William and Ann

these people are also married St Wilfrid

Ann King spinster of this parish
Thomas Robinson,husbandman of this parish
witness to marriage Francis Holden King and Thomas Barker
7th September 1793

John King,husbandman of this parish
Betty Berry spinster
witness John Bentham and John Dixon

I suspect Francis the witness to the marriage lives around Cowen Bridge he is a husbandman and uses Tunstall church for the baptism of his children his wife is Nancy

Thank you once again. I suspect  Roberandale is Roeburndale nearby. Off to chase down all my new leads!

Just as an aside to this thread.  A quick salute to my old friend Radcliff who is still helping people with the details in the Melling area.  In one fell swoop he removed a complete brick wall for me in the search for my other half's maternal family in Wennington!
Keep up the good work!

I am a new member.  I am also researching the King family in Caton and Melling.

My 4 x great grandfather William King married Sarah Fox in Caton in 1788.  Witness Anthony King.

John King married Alice Leeming at Caton in 1783.  Witness James King.

James King married Grace Thompson at Caton in 1790.  Witness Anthony King.

Anthony King married Isabella Rathmell in Lancaster in 1793.  Witness John King.

I have been researching William King's family for years and thought that my William was born in Burton in Lonsdale, but I have recently found out that this William married someone else.

All the above Kings had a daughter named Ann or Nancy and a son William, so I wondered if this was the name of their parents.

I have just found a baptism for a William King in 1766 to a William and Ann King at Whittington.

I have also found a marriage for a William King and Ann Roach in 1763 at Beetham.  I wonder if these are the parents of Anthony, William, John and James and perhaps Henry of Melling.

Beetham, Whittington, Melling, Hornby and Caton are in the same area.  I visited them yesterday.
