If you could post or PM a name (or names), I could try looking for it for you in a few Southern California resources.

Cheshire / Re: Living in Wirral but marrying in Liverpool early 1800s
« on: Monday 05 February 07 19:02 GMT (UK)  »
I've noticed the same phenomenon with many of my Barlow ancestors from the Wirral. They also appear to have traveled to marry at St. Nicholas in the same period. Some then remained in Liverpool, but others returned to Heswall or other Wirral locations.

I'm also curious about the reasons they did this. Was it easier to marry in Liverpool? Were they escaping the scrutiny of family or the local parish?
