Title: Marriage Banns - Saddleworth - Winterbottom
Post by: DixieFamily on Thursday 23 October 14 00:40 BST (UK)

Hello

I have information that Abel Winterbottom married Lydia Brookshaw on 29 March 1815 via Banns
in Saddleworth.  I would like to know if other information is available re this marriage, in particular names of fathers and witnesses.

Hopefully then I can work back further to establish marriages and births on both sides.

thanks

Dixie
