Cheshire / Jane Crank / William Griffiths
« on: Friday 30 January 09 11:55 GMT (UK) »
Hello there - first time poster here on Rootschat so please be gentle with me 
If I've posted this in the wrong forum or in the wrong format apologies in advance....
I am trying to find details on my Great Grandparents William Griffiths and Jane Crank of Barrow in Cheshire. They were married on 5th July 1887 in Barrow and lived there up until 1911 (found them in census records for 1891,1901,1911. However, I'm unable to find either of them prior to 1891. According to the census data they were both born in Cheshire (William Griffiths in Barrow, Jane Crank in Utkinton). Jane's father is shown on the marriage certificate as John Crank - Labourer) and Williams father is shown as Henry Wilkinson - Labourer). According to the marriage certificate they were both 21. Despite all of this information I've drawn a blank so far on finding any other records for them.
If anyone on this forum has come across them (or indeed has them in their family tree) I would be very interested and grateful to hear from you...
Kind regards and thanks in advance,
Bill
