[haney]

HI List
    I'm wondering if it is possible to find the actual parents names listed for this marriage please.

  I'm now collecting information on this couple.  Many thanks Dianna

Marriage: 21 Oct 1822 St James, Haslingden, Lancashire
James Whittaker - Newrow near Love Clough
Matty Pickup - Love Clough in this Chapelry
    Witnesses: John Dobson; Thos. Wilding
    Married by Banns with consent of parents by William Gray Minister
    Register: Marriages 1822 - 1831, Entry 53
    Source: Original Parish Register

Marriage by banns. Parents not named.

I would suggest starting by looking for them in the census to see their place of birth.

Hi Neale 1961
     Thanks for that.  LOL I didn't think it would be that easy.

I have on the 1841 Census in Habergham Eves Twp James Whittaker age 35, wife Matty age 35.  He is a Colour Mixer I think.

That occupation is listed on some of the baptismal records of the children.

I've tried to attach the census but it will not work sorry

OH It worked that time.  Good.  My aim is to find out who this Matty's parents are.

There is only one record (haven't seen it though) that suggests her name was MARTHA ALICE  and that is on the marriage of her daughter Elizabeth WHITTAKER to William PICKERING in 23rd APRIL 1863 at West Gate Chapel in Burnley.

Maybe some one has the actual marriage certificate for Elizabeth and Wiliam.

Witness's Martha Alice WHITTAKER and Jonathan (Elizabeths older brother) Many thanks Dianna

Hi maddys52

I'm not sure really! I found two baptisms for a Mary and a Susan.  Will try and attach here.  It's possible considering the description of the husband.  Would he not be head of the household though?? Many thanks Dianna

[maddys52]

James WHITAKER is not with the family in 1851 or 1861 - will keep looking for him.

There is the "odd" baptism for James Pickup Whittaker at the age of 23.  Mums name is Martha on this record in Habergham Eves. 

Oh Wonder where James was?? Dianna
