George BENTLEY
« on: Monday 06 April 20 21:01 BST (UK) »
Hi all

My 4x great grandfather George BENTLEY was born in 1819 in Nantwich. He married Mary Brown who also was born in 1819 in Nantwich. I cant find a baptism for either nor a marriage! Can anybody please help me with this.

Many thanks

Ryan  :)

If you haven't found a marriage how do you know "He married Mary Brown" - where has that information come from?

First census is 1851. No, John was not their first child.

So they were both 25 when the eldest was born.  I suppose he could have already been married so couldn't marry Mary but certainly can't find a marriage to a Mary Brown. 

Finding him in 1841 might help to see who he was living with?  Finding the right Mary Brown in 1841 will be more difficult.

Yes, BROWN is far more common than BENTLEY. Will take a look for 1841

I am not seeing birth of James b. ~ 1844 as BENTLEY or BROWN.

Is he born to a first marriage for Mary BROWN?
