Surname Taylor help !

The marriage of William Taylor and Mary Lockwood took place on 7th February 1842
William's father was Isaac Taylor. William was 24 when he married.

I wonder if Mary Hall's first husband was a  Lockwood.

In 1841
Mottram in Longendale
William Lockwood 32 b1809 Mottram
Mary Lockwood 30 b1811 Mottram in Longendale
Andrew Lockwood 20 b1821 Mottram in Longendale
Sarah Lockwood  15 b1826 mottram in Longendale

There are several other Lockwoods on the same page, some born in the county(Cheshire) some not born in the county

. . . only thing is is that the Mary wife of William Taylor on the 1851 and 1861 is b 1811 Wooldale/Deal ?,  Yorkshire  . Unless she is a different Mary. Though the area does go over the tops toward Wooldale area in Yorks.  To add to the confusion John Willy b 1877 always said he was born in Yorkshire and in "Otley" of all places ! ! ! Though in 1911 he is b Staleybridge Chesire  (we know its him because of his  wife Margarets ("Maggie") birthplace  and relatives remember the house at Hamilton St , wich is still there )

When I have  time, I'll go to the archives centre in Ashton to  check the marriage in 1842 for William Taylor and Mary Lockwood.
Please send me a pm of any other marriages/baptisms you would like checking if you know the churches.

Hi
Were the family Catholics?

On www.cheshirebmd.org.uk the marriages all seem to be Civil.

There is a R Catholic Church in Dukinfield St Mary's
There were 2 in Ashton, St Ann's and St Mary's

Do you know where any of the family are buried?

Im not sure . I know that Maggies family (who married John Willy ) the Thompsons were Presbyterian and from Northern Ireland (the last family to move to Spring Bank St  about mid 1880s)  but i dont think either of them were Churchy type people . I dont know where they are buried . I imagine its in Stalybridge . Maggie was John Willys 2nd wife . The odd thing is  the way they all move around together. The Taylors (from Ches) , Whiteleys (Yorks) , Coopers (Derbs). They  all start off at Canal St  , wich i understand  would have been an industrial overcrowed  area in 1841 with all the rapid building work and mills going on. Eventually they all move to Spring Bank St 1891  . Then they all move to Water ? St  by 1901  . Is St Mary the Virgin a Catholic Church Church at Eccles where Samuel Hall was baptised  ? I wonder why they moved so much with Mary born "Wooldale Yorks". Probably the mills.   I did find a bapt William 1817 s/o    Isaac Taylor at Gee Cross Unitarian Church earlier and a marriage of an Isaac and Esther Hibbert 1815  St Marys Stockport  but not sure .
