Hi All,
I'm trying to find the parents of my 3G grandparents Edward Traverse and Mary Parkinson. Edward was born in St. Helen's around 1803 and Mary in Warrington (should I post this to the Cheshire board as well? - Warrington was in Lancashire in the 19thC) around 1803. They were married in Warrington on 2nd June 1823.
Does anyone have access to Warrington and St. Helen's parish records?
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Kevin

Hi Miriam,
Thanks for the marriage entries. Interesting that it says Edward Traverse is of this parish, as I thought he was from St. Helens. Also very useful to have the church name and the witnesses.
I think the 1852 entry is one of his sons. The dates certainly work.
Thanks for all your help.
Kevin

He might just have moved to Warrington for the period that banns were being read. As I understand it, if he was from a different parish, then they would have to pay for banns to be read in both parishes.
A great deal of my lot are from the same parish on their marriage certificates, when they very probably weren't really.

When these ancestors were saving money by having banns read in one parish, did they not realise the headache they were causing for their descendants!!
I guess it's all part of the fun of amateur genealogy!
