Henry WITHERS married Harriet RUSSELL Dec qtr 1845 at Macclesfield. In later census, Harriet states she is born c1827 at Kings Somborne/Sombourn (Hampshire) but I cannot find her in 1841.

Can someone please look for the marriage to see if her parents are named and if she was a spinster or widow (unlikely as she seems to have been only 18 at marriage)?

No other information required at this stage other than to confirm her parentage.

Thank you.
Sandra

They were married 26th November 1845 by licence at Macclesfield St Michael. Her father was William Russell, Woodman and she was a spinster and Minor (under 21). He was living at Froyle in Hampshire at the time of the marriage and his father was Richard Seward Withers a Yeoman.
