Looking for any information in respect of this marriage please - location and names.

Many thanks

Caroline

Names as entered.  "By publication" = by Banns    Looks like parish of Winwick.

[Pennines]

I agree with BumbleB -- Winwick by Banns. No witnesses or other information given. However the year looks like 1695.

Sorry Pennines, but the image clearly states 96 for all the marriages on that particular page.

Thank you for all your help- maybe this was just too much of a coincidence with the names as the family of Woodnorth/Woodworth are around Weaverham through to Barthomley and weston. I think the location is probably too far north in the county. Thank you all.

[BumbleB]

It's only 14 miles between Weaverham and Winwick

So it is still a possibility then- thank you. I was just thinking that at the turn of the 1700s that was still quite a way to travel- could they have been working on the canals? how would that work? Just a thought.

[queenswood 1]

Might have cracked it! Sankey canal had Winwick key. Sankey canal formed part of the canal link between Liverpool/Manchester into Cheshire re salt and coal- so it may make more sense than i realised. Weaverham is near to Northwich which was a main centre of salt production.

[BumbleB]

Could very well have worked the canals or the rivers.  I'm also thinking that you mention Weston as a location - is that Weston in Runcorn? 

Weaverham - near the River Weaver.  Weston (Runcorn) - River Weaver/River Mersey.  Warrington - River Mersey, or even the Manchester Ship Canal.


Your version is better.
