James McLaughlin Eccles Lancashire 1880's

[Aileach41]

Never seen so much information on a marriage from rootsireland, that's lucky. Also never seen the marriage witness also called a sponsor - I have only seen sponsors for baptisms.

I have drawn a blank in the 1881 & 1891 censuses for any James McLaughlin & variations born 1845 +- 10 yrs Ireland living in Eccles, which will presumably lie in the Salford area.  There is a James McLoughlin born ca 1843 Ireland living in Salford but he is a plasterer, 1871 RG10; Piece: 4026; Folio: 32; Page: 20, 1881 RG11; Piece: 3975; Folio: 112; Page: 12.  Sorry....

I agree with you about the marriage. I couldn't believe it. Than you for your help. Regards.
