Thanks Sue

Still not sure where this leaves me....guess I was kinda hoping there might be an occupation for John mentioned or 'of the parish of.....' or something.  Anything to give me a nudge in the right direction.

If I could find Sarah's death certificate I'd be more clued-up as it should say she was the 'widow of.....' but there's so many to choose from that I don't know where to start

Appreciate you taking the time to check anyway

I understand that this may be too vague as I only have the details from the Boyds Marriage Index

Looking for the details on the marriage of John Bell and Sarah Cornell 1797 Saffron Walden.

I have no idea how many churches there were/are in Saffron Walden in that time period so if this is not enough information, then I do understand

Thanks

Hi Peter

Might be better if I explain what I have which I should have done in the 1st place....apologies!

My 3xgrandmother Elizabeth Clegg married Benjamin Hill at Stockport St Marys on 1st Feb 1856.  Her father is stated as James Clegg, a Clogger

I have Elizabeth on all subsequent census from her marriage to her death in 1903 in Dukinfield and her birth year is consistent with 1836/1837, Hyde or Stockport.

I've located a baptism on IGI for 1835, Elizabeth at Stockport St Marys to parents James and Elizabeth but I don't know if this is the correct one without the entry being checked for an occupation for James.

So...I need to pinpoint a clogger called James Clegg who has a daughter called Elizabeth born about the right time frame.   Or just an Elizabeth aged about 4 in 1841 and 14 in 1851 in case her father was already deceased.

I've trawled the 1861 but there are no Cloggers called James Clegg that I can see so assume he was deceased by then!  I've checked the 1841 Lancashire name index which is now complete and they don't appear to be on that, the 1851 isn't yet complete but nothing so far, so all points to them still being in Cheshire

Thanks a lot for that Peter

It eliminates them as being my family so yes, it helps a lot!  It also helps me to sort out a bunch of baptisms I've found on IGI as there appears to be 2 families with the same named parents and similarly named/aged children, both in Stockport at the same time!

I need to find a James Clegg who is Clogger with a wife called Elizabeth and a daughter Elizabeth born about 1835. 

Not proving an easy task with so little to go on

Thanks for your time
