Just in case it's yours
There's a mrriage licence John Greatbach and Hannah Ash married at Leek 10.11.1800.
He is a hairdresser from Bolton Lancashire and she is age 20 from Leek
Her father William Ash consents to the marriage as she is a minor.

wit Thomas Hillard and William Ash

And it looks like the witness John Greatbach married 11.2.1822 Mary Lawnds .witness Francis Hillard and Joshua Dale.

So it looks like possible parents and brother if  they are yours.
ps John Greatbach widower married Sarah Washington widow 28.11.1820 wit Francis Hilliard and Samuel Weston.

Francis seems to be at every wedding not just theirs.

                   That was quick!! thank you very much..I'm trying to help a friend, there are baptism's
at Bucknall cum Bagnall for both these names Wlm Boyer 1805 + Mariah Greatbatch 1807, (ages fit
with census)...do you know if Bucknall is very far from St Edwards Leek.

Google maps is usually pretty good at finding out where places are.

Bucknall is about 9 miles south west of Leek, and Bagnall a little closer at 7 miles.
so I would think perfectly possible they might go to Leek to get married from there.
