Peter Brough Marriage 1777 Stanwix
« on: Saturday 28 February 09 23:06 UTC (UK) »
Would it be possible for anyone to look up the marriage of Peter Brough and Elizabeth Purdon, which took place (according to IGI records) 03 Sep 1777 in Stanwix (Carlisle)? I have no other information on this ancestor except this record and so I hope that it says something about where he was from, what he did for a living,  and who the witnesses were. Thank you a million times if you can help me knock down this brick wall.

Dear Deborah,

Thank you very much for looking this up for me!! I greatly appreciate it!! I knew he came from Rockcliffe by the parish record (which I did find a transcription for eventually) but it didn't mention that he was a yeoman, which shines a light on his standing in the Rockliffe community. I am going to try to find him on some manor rolls or other such items now that I know he had property.

Thank you again!

Best regards, Wendy

You're welcome.  Sorry it wasn't as much help as it could have been!
