Hi Christopher
Don,t know what religeon they were Just asuming they were Protestants, but they could have been anything as it seems my Gr Grandmother had a torrid time worked in the mills of lancashire had a child before marrying my Gr. Grandfather (as Catherine Dougherty ) can,t find her son William who took the name Highton/Huyton
only on the 1871 Prescot census did they say born in Longford but I believe that Alice was an unusual first name in Longford Just going on census ages John would be b.1810/12 Alice 1809/11 the first child recorded John b.1835
so I,m asuming a marriage about 1832/6 so needle and haystack springs to mind the sad part they both died in the Prescot workhouse
Regards George
