It was actually unlawful at the time for a man to marry his deceased wife's sister (until the law was changed in 1907) though in practice it was not uncommon.

Perhaps, however, this was why Joseph and Selina married in the relative anonymity of Manchester Cathedral, rather than more locally where they would be known to the minister.

Hi Selina,
I am researching the Oakes family from Warrington area. Specifically looking for any information on Joseph Ruffle Oakes or his ancestors.
Kind regards

Just received the birth certificate for Selina Oakes born in Styall 26/06/1844. Her father Thomas a labourer, but her mother Ann Roberts, not Jane...
The place of birth fits in with Thomas being from Styall, but not her mothers first name???
