Hi Steven,

Now it all makes sense.

Just wonder if this could be the Marriage, the info is from Ancestry.co.uk

26th May 1820
St. Mary Stockport, Cheshire

Samuel Birch = Ellen Adkinson.

Family Search also has the name Adkinson.

Hi Spendlove,

The Stockport marriage is a possibility. There's also the possibility that they didn't officially marry, and simply lived a morganatic marriage with Ellen taking Samuel's surname. I've heard that such arrangements were far from unusual in those times.

Thanks again for your help,

Kind regards, Steven.

Hi Steven,

Just read on the Derbyshire Boards that it is possible to order free copies of the register image
from Familysearch:-

https://lds.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_9tdS7lqbTCW30kR

The Derbyshire Board on which this information appears is:-

http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=674671.0

May be worth requesting this immage, if you are not near the Record Office where the original
registers are held.
