Rubber Ball!! What do I do next?

I'll have another look at Sedbergh next time I visit, something to do on a rainy day.
Have you got back to Richard and Jane's names from the birth of a child? or just Richards.?

The Lancashire border isn't too far away, but as far as I know Sedbergh was never in Lancashire - maybe just the closest large city for that part of the West Riding.

Look forward to hearing any news.

Thanks Shelagh, I'll keep you posted.

This marriage is actually 4 years after what I think is the baptism of "their" first child back in Kendal. I know from the baptism of "their" son John in 1750 that he was the son of Richard and Jane, and this is the only marriage I can find that seems likely - i.e. the correct names, more or less the right time & they're described as from Kendal and nearby Strickland Roger respectively.

I thought it possible that they'd go to Sedbergh to marry if they'd already been living 'in sin' and had a couple of children. But, as I said before, it's entirely possible that it has absolutely nothing to do with my couple at all! 

I'd just like to get to the bottom of it all!
