Robert Worthington

[sid bird]

Hello,
My ancestor Robert Worthington was born in Much Hoole on 19th Sept 1788. I am trying to work out if he married Ellen Parkinson at St. Leonards, Walton le Dale in 1814 or Ellen Cunliff at St. Laurence, Chorley. Can anybody help? Their first child as far as I am aware was Richard born 1815, in Preston.
Nor can I find a record of his death anywhere which must have been between 1861 and 1871.
His wife Ellen died in 1864 and was buried in St. Johns Preston.
I await in hope.

The March qtr 1864 death could be him - aged 75 www.freebmd.org.uk

What was his occupation - the one that married Ellen Cunliffe in 1809 was a Saddler.

Added Richards 1815 baptism gives fathers occupation as Grocer

On the 1814 marriage to Ellen Parkinson - Robert is a grocer.  1841 - printer

If it's the Robert Worthington with an Ellen on the 1851 census in Preston, born Much Hoole - then wife Ellen was born in Chipping.

You can check for the births of the 2 Ellens you have identified to see if either match her birth year and location.

Marriage licence (on FindMyPast) to Ellen Parkinson states that Robert was a Grocer

Sorry I see Carole has already posted that

The Robert in 1851 is an accountant if it is the right Robert and Ellen.

In 1861 Ellen's birthplace has changed to Longridge! (Again - only if it's the correct couple). He is born Much Hoole, so you would think it was the right pair.

Well thank you everybody...I don't know his occupation. I am leaning towards Ellen Parkinson but that is only because nobody in the family has had anything to do with horses!!
