Hello Ros,

Well Riley is certainly a Lancashire name, it thought to originate around the Burnley/Blackburn area.

If you are a little stuck why not tell us a little more so we may help you.

What year are you interested in ??  Smiley

Dear Ros,

I have found the following Marriages for Robert Riley which took place in Preston which could be worth some investigating !

Marriages Mar 1852
Riley  Robert     Preston  8e 509

Marriages Mar 1868
Riley  Robert     Preston  8e 685

Marriages Dec 1868
Riley  Robert     Preston  8e 785

Marriages Dec 1873
RILEY  Robert     Preston  8e 831

Marriages Sep 1874
Riley  Robert     Preston  8e 832

Marriages Sep 1878
Riley  Robert     Preston  8e 852

Marriages Jun 1883
Riley  Robert     Preston  8e 844

Marriages Dec 1891
Riley  Robert     Preston  8e 896

These records would be held at Bow Street Preston where you could view the records to identify the father. This is easily in walking distance from the train station.

A possible connection to Preston and Pendleton could have been the cotton mills ! It would be interesting to know of Roberts trade during this time.

I feel it is quite possibe that Robert's father would have travelled for the Wedding in Pendleton.
