To confuse you even more on 28 June 1785 at Glossop church Samuel Furniss marries Ann Lingart

He is of the parish of Glossop and signs the register. She makes her mark and I can’t decipher where she is from. It might say if the parish aforesaid.

I found the actual image by ploughing my way through the register book on Ancestry.

If it was my family I’d make  3 trees up from the Glossop and Chapel en le Frith registers of the Simpson, Lingard/t and Furniss families. I’d go from around 1720ish up to 1820ish. That way hopefully you’ll make sense of what is going on.

I’d use the actual parish registers which are on Ancestry and do one family name at a time, extract all those of that surname and build a tree. I’ve done this myself with a confusing family, I ended up with lots of post it notes and physically built trees on the floor before importing them into a family tree programme.

Then take the next name and do the same and so on. Hopefully the links between the two families will become clearer. Maybe also have the OS map for the area so you can see where the families are living.

Thank you.

I've looked at Nanny and where she lived etc and I agree that William and Mary look more likely as they are in the same area.

There's not much for Eilliam and Mary and their details are limited.  I'll keep trying though. Samuel Furniss did look really good and I originally used these details.  I coukd be wrong, but it's confusing. Thanks again everyone

Providing I have the right marriage I think it

either says Mary Trance or France of the parish spinster

One of the witnesses is a George Trance or France.

William Simpson was of the parish of Glossop. Mary was of the parish of Hope where the marriage took place.

Ancestry says her surname is France

Mary Simpson wife of William Simpson of Hope was buried at Hope Church on 14 June 1777.

Mary Lingard married William Simpson on 22 August 1775 at Glossop church.

There are two William Simpsons of Glossop.

I wonder if William and Mary could have had Nanny in Bowden Edge and gone back to Hope.  I'm going to look for more siblings for Nanny to see.

Thank you
