Am I able to see the register for the marriage of Charles and Elizabeth? I've been fluffing around FindMyPast
and others, please where do I go.

[Janelle]

Yes the image available on FindMyPast is the one original with his actual autograph and her mark.

Wonderful to have these for the price of the sub. I have collected lots for my own research 

Salute

I see by 1861 Elizabeth is a Widow again, living with her Mother Elizabeth Ashworth.
Elizabeth Mary Stocks married Henry BLAKEY 1867
1881 her Mother Elizabeth Ashworth is with her age 86
Elizabeth lived to a good age also, still alive 1901 under Blakey

In case you dont have the 1871 Census;
Henry Blakey   44
Elizh Blakey   50 born Brughaw, Yorkshire (sic)
Harvey Blakey   17
Thos Blakey   15
Susanna Blakey   13
Ellen Stock   14

You may already have this but may help others in the furture.
