 I have little to hand other than the documents I gave my cousin. I think its Katherine Bradshaigh  and James or John Bentham. My gut feeling is they did not get married in Wigan because of the obvious embarrassment this was causing for Sir Roger. I think they married outside of Wigan. The only timeline I have is when she was of an age to marry.

 I think the term blacks is short for blacksmith or collier. Probably the latter.

I am quite prepared to fight a libel case as its the truth. The Dublin firm disappeared without a trace with all our paperwork. Would love to hear from them . Libel  challenge or no.
I was more concerned for the reputation of RootsChat.

okay George I will leave your post for now,I asked you, for a simple timeline for the lady in question,I can not look into any church or archive records without a timeline for the birth ,even a simple search would bring up hundreds of unrelated documents in Lancashire archives,and I don't have the time or inclination to look at each individual reference as they cover hundreds of years,
Good luck with your claim and fingers crossed you find the documents that you seek

Possibly African servants/slaves? Upper-class households had them at the time.
