Trying to find any information I can about my 3 x Great Grandparents - William Wright and Hannah Swain. They were married at St Lawrence Church, Biddulph, Staffordshire in 1827. According to 1841 and subsequent census records, William was born in Wildboarclough, Cheshire and Hannah in Gawsworth, Cheshire. I am now trying to find out who their parents were with great difficulty! When Hannah married William, she already had an illegitimate child Thomas Swain (his surname appears as Wright on the census) born in 1823 in Gawsworth. I can only assume that Hannah and William were both working in the Biddulph area hence them marrying there. On 1841 census William's date of birth is 1801 and Hannah's 1796, on 1851 - the same, 1861 - 1801 and 1793. 1871 - 1801 and Hannah deceased 1864. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
