Are civil marriages listed at Ashton under Lyne records library?

I think I'd go for Andrew and Margaret

Hi Huckleberry,

Don't think it's that one.  He was born end 1877/ely 1878, got his WW1 pension record and worked out his correct age from that??

He looks to be 32 yrs in 1915 so would be born abt 1882/3

Frances Frain birth registered 1912 Easington Durham mmn Scally
John Frain birth registered  1913 Easington mmn Scally

Hello,
I can't see Agnes or John in 1911 indexes, but there is a Martin Frain in Ashton under Lyne
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/XW1L-L28

He would fit with the family Huckleberry found.

Is this John in 1911? https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/XWHQ-1V6
There is an Agnes in same area.

Yes Heywood, it's the right ones

[heywood]

It does look then that Andrew and Margaret are very likely the right parents but as ever - certificates would be best.

Joan,
Does your friend know if the family might have been Catholics?
If they were, I could try to check the marriage registers at the library in Ashton.

I have checked the 2 main RC churches in Ashton and they weren't married there.
