Hello Folks,

 

Thanks for the replies,have had some attempts at tracing marriages with common names and got a bit discouraged.However will have another look  and see if I can confirm if any are "mine" by trying to check out on later Census returns.Will let you know how it goes,Mike.

 

The reply from the Manchester Police Museum suggested Renwick Place(I had contacted them suggesting it could have been Beswick Place,Jan,my wife,has a collection of Beswick animal figures so I could have been biased).

 

Re my comments about whether William may have been dead in 1860(because the Marriage record doesn't give vital details)is a bit shaky now as we have just received an English marriage record of another of my wifes relatives where it clearly states that the Father is deceased in the Occupation/Profession area.Is this unusual?

 

Best Wishes,

 

Rob
