Title: George Chambers marriage
Post by: Bunbury125 on Friday 08 May 20 17:30 BST (UK)

George Chambers (b near  Green Row Cumberland c1780) married Elizabeth and had 3 daughters  Martha, Mary and Sarah all born between 1810 and 1815. The baptisms took place in  Cockermouth.
George and Elizabeth are living in Cockermouth in 1841.
The baptism records that I can find so far do not list Elizabeth's maiden name. I have seen a family tree on FindMyPast which says Elizabeth 's maiden name was Woodburn but  does not give any source details and I don't want to assume it's correct.
Online as far as I can see there is no marriage between Elizabeth Woodburn and George Chambers.  I think They must have married in 1808 or 1809 but so far no joy in finding that or any other likely marriage in the area.
I suppose the must be local Registers which aren't online yet.
Has anyone else come across this family?

Many Thanks
B
