The Common Room / Re:Parish records query

Hi Chris

Thank you for your quick response to my query. It looks like I will have to do a bit more more delving, I am hoping that Rochdale library may be able to find the marriage of Benjamin & Mary from the surrounding parish records although without the mother's maiden name this could prove difficult because you can bet there will be more than one Benjamin Travis married a Mary, I hope that I am not looking for a needle in a haystack.

Also, I do not know whether Joseph was their first child. he could have been one of many children in which case I could be looking for a marriage about twenty years before Joseph was born.

I do wonder whether other people have this problem where parish records give so little detail, how can you know for sure that you have put your ancestors in the right family?

I would be interested to know how others have managed to solve this dilemma.

Thanks again

dinkey ::)

I need to pick some brains!

I have a baptism record for a Joseph Travis born 1812 to Benjamin & Mary Travis at St Thomas Church Milnrow nr Rochdale Lancashire. Without Mary's maiden name how do I find a marriage for this couple. I have checked the IGI but there is no record of a Benjamin Travis to a Mary anywhere in Lancashire. It occurrs to me that they could have married anywhere in the country and then settled in Lancashire but without Mary's surname how do I proceed.

If anyone can point me as to where I can look next I will be very grateful. :-\

Lancashire / Marriage Dalton/Sanders
« on: Sunday 21 March 04 22:12 GMT (UK)  »
Can anyone help me find the marriage details of John Dalton to Ann Sanders. John ws born in Overton Cheshire 1839 and Ann was born in Woolton Lancashire appx 1846. All their children were born in Widnes Lancashire. Their first son Samuel was born appx 1868. I have checked BMD for the period between 1864-1868 but no trace.

This quest has been bugging me for ages but now I have found this site I am hoping that someone out there can bring this search to an end.   :'(
