Hello Marj
Thank you for your reply and interest.
Yes, Edwin Billington and Elizabeth Moss did marry on 29.12.1857, the ceremony took place at St. Marys, Nantwich, Cheshire not Prestbury.
I do have three with the surname Winstanley on my tree, parents May Crompton and Thomas Winstanley, Brian, Thomas and Sylvia.
May Crompton's mother was Sarah Ann Crompton (Jenkinson), when her husband James Crompton died, Sarah Ann Crompton remarried an Edwin Billington in 1923 at Chorlton Register Office. Without purchasing the certificate, I am finding it difficult to locate Edwin's father. I have been trying to find out if this Edwin Billington is connected to the Nantwich family of Billingtons.
Sarah Ann and Edwin Billington had three children from their marriage: Edna M., Edwin F. and Ethel Billington.
Would you remember if your cousin mentioned May Crompton's brothers and sisters from her mother's second marriage?
