A 1918 marriage in Church Kirk
« on: Tuesday 21 November 17 15:13 GMT (UK) »
Hi
Does anyone know if St James, Church Kirk has a register that can be viewed on line? I have found this entry for a marriage in 1918, and just want to check if it's the John I'm looking for, son of Catherine Ann Snape and William Thomas Butterworth.

Marriage Dec 1918:   Ellen TATTERSALL to John BUTTERWORTH   1918   Churck Kirk, St James Church   Preston   CE37/7/345

Thank you!

Marriages from St James, Church Kirk Parish are only available on Lan-OPC until 1894.

So you'll have to visit Lancashire Archives, I think?

that's helpful thanks. I can pay on line, i've now worked out it's in the Altcar area, but wondered if it was somewhere else I could look too. the archives are in Preston aren't they? Manchester would be more accessible for me as I could send my daughter...
thanks again

Hi there

'My' John was born in Halliwell in 1893 according to the 1901 census, and his mother Catherine Ann Snape was born in 1868 in Withnell.

John's father was William Thomas Butterworth, my great grandfather, a bit of a mystery figure. He married Catherine in 1892 but around 1900 left Lancs for Chatham, Kent, with my great grandmother, Sarah Ellen Yates, together with her mother Ann and 4 out of 5 of her siblings. My great aunt Margaret was born in 1900, and my grandmother in 1902, then a great uncle Berty in 1904. He disappears after that, there was some family story that he died in a brawl. My great grandmother remarried (or probably married for the first time) George Thomas Waghorn in 1906.
I would love to find out what happened to John and William Thomas Butterworth, although so far haven't tracked down anything for WT after 1902.

Any ideas?!

I'm confused as well, but the marriage was registered in Blackburn district, which includes the parish of Church, which is the name of the village.
