Marriage lookup please

[Finch]

Can anybody help with the marriage records of a JOHN HEAPS to a HANNAH. John was born about 1816 and Hannah about 1826, both in Macclesfield. I believe this may have been a second marriage for John as He had a son Thomas born about 1837 in Macclesfield and Hannah would have been too young to have children. There was also two more children that I know of, William born about 1842 and Richard about 1846, I'm thinking that Richard may have been Hannah's child but I'm not sure about William. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I was just going to suggest the marriage Trish has posted.
The children might not be hers or they might have married later??

I think Finch knew there was an earlier marriage Pam - from the age of Hannah on the 1851 census (a 25 year old is unlikely to have a 14 year old child). I've been searching 1841 to try & find the name of Wife 1, but I can't find them anywhere - must have been hiding under the bed again 

Can you see them in 41?

Hi Trish & Pam,
Yes, I think the marriage you found is probably the correct one, so I will assume (for the moment) that the children are from a previous marriage. Thanks so much for the web site you sent, I've had a look and have already found a marriage for one of the children of John. Hopefully, somebody will be able to help with the previouse marriage as it looks like it took place before 1837. Thank you both for looking for me.
Regards, Joan

Hi

    This may help, found a marriage indexed as John Heaps a tailor and Mary Lomas sp. at St Peters Prestbury 12/March/1836 both of Macclesfield. Sutton was a township within the Prestbury parish.

    Mary Heaps died in Sutton 1848 aged 33.

Hi Peter and Joan

I saw that death indexed & wondered about it (but wasn't sure re the location of Sutton) - but I still can't find the family in 1841

Hi Peter,
That's brilliant, it fills in a lot of blanks. Thanks everyone for all the help.
