Brearleybrierley family from Rochdale
« on: Wednesday 26 August 20 10:17 BST (UK) »
Hello, I am looking for the parents of Joseph brearley who married Alice hopwood in Rochdale . It says on his marriage info that the witness was James brearley, who I think could have been his brother. When Joseph moved to Salford, the surname spelling changed to Brierley. Also cannot find Alice hopwood parents

As they give addresses have you checked other parish register entries for similar addresses to see if you can locate possible burials of parents or marriages of siblings. 

Do you have Joseph & Alice on later census, you need to tell us where and when they were born

Later censuses show them living in Salford under the surname of Brierley. Birthplaces are Rochdale

Wondering if brearley was a spelling error, and real name is Brierley. Wondering why it was changed when they moved to Salford

You still have not told us when they were born. 

You should not take much notice about changes in spelling, people were often illiterate or names were spelt as they were heard.
