Lancashire Record office on Monday
Thank you very much for the offer Ed Officer.
If you have the time and the inclination I would be very grateful for the following marriage look-ups:
David Gregson to Winifred Bilsborough Oct - Dec quarter of 1937 at St Saviour with St James, Preston
Harold Gregson to Phoebe Threlfall Oct - Dec quarter of 1935 at St Matthew's Preston
Prudence Jane Gregson to John Patrick Browne Oct - Dec quarter of 1935 at St Saviour with St James, Preston.
If they are all the children of John Gregson I will be ecstatic!
Many thanks in advance
Barbara

Hi Ed Officer,
Thank you for your kind offer.
If you have some spare time I'd really appreciate any further details on the marriage you found for me on familysearch.org of
Thomas MOYERS married Mary FAIRHURST 19 November 1835 at Wigan
(alternative spelling is Myers).
I'd be particularly grateful for details of fathers names etc if they are given.
I assume the marriage was All Saints Parish Church and as I said in my other post the lanc opc site stops at August 1835 for All Saints.
Many Thanks and have a good trip.

Hi Ed
Thank you for the very kind offer. If you have time could you please give me the details of the marriage of Thomas JONES and Elizabeth PARRY at St Michael on Toxteth Park on 1 November 1830? I've already looked for the information on microfilm at Liverpool RO without success. It should be there but it wasn't!
best wishes
Ann

No.. 7664 !
Hello Ed Officer, can I sneak one in under the wire?
The marriage is Peter Woosey to Mary Forshaw in the Oct-Dec quarter of 1844. It took place at All Saints, Wigan but I think you told me that the records for 1844 are also at Lancashire records office. Any and all information would be gratefully received.
Many thanks for your time and trouble

Hi Ed Officer,
Sorry to hear the Gods are conspiring against you this week.
Hope you have better luck next week.
Could I possibly slip in another request if you have the time. I'd be grateful for any further details on this marriage which I found on the Lanc OPC site.
Marriage: 25 Dec 1866 St Thomas the Martyr, Upholland, Lancashire, England
James Brannan -
Margaret Talbot -
Register: Marriages 1863 - 1882, Page 49, Entry 97
If you were able to find it I would love to know if the grooms father's name is Daniel (occ Joiner). If it is it probably confirms some of my recent Irish research into what might be his brother Martin.
Thanks again for offering to do these things for complete strangers.

Hi folks I actually made it to Lancashire Record Office this afternoon after I'de been to Martin Mere.

Marriage at All Saints Wigan unfortunately they don't have the marriages up to 1844 just the baptisms (my mistake). Marriages stop earlier. The parish registers are at Wigan and Leigh archives or you will have to buy the certificate.
St Matthews Preston
19 October 1935
Harold GREGSON 20 bachelor private soldier 19 Outram St father Robert Gregson fireman married Phoebe THRELFALL 21 spinster 120 Cemetery Rd father Fred Threlfall
witness Robert John Arnorld and Annie Threlfall
Harold signs woth (PTE) after his name
thery were married by the vicar J Redfern
Your other 2 marriages led me a merry dance. Lancashire Record Office has 3 catalogues for churches all on their website. I assumed St Saviour with St James was Cof E and looked in the Cof E catalogue. There was no St Saviour with St James listed. There was a St Saviours so I then got out the next catalogue to fill in the form to order the marriage register. No marriage. So I tried St James (there was a St James Preston). This time I had to sort out a film and guess what no marriage.
So unfortunately with the information given I couldn't find them )I only checked the December Quartes of the years you said). Just out of curiosity where did you find the information that the registers were at Lancashire Record Office?

Thank you soooo much Ed Officer for taking the time to do these look ups.
Well, given the James Brannan marriage details I can rule out that line of enquiry. (On one census he gave his birth place as Kilkenny, which is where I am trying to prove my Martin Brennan was from). Guess I'll have to think again.
Do I take it from your message to Barbara that Wigan All Saints marriages for 1835 are only at Wigan and Leigh? If so, I'll have to try asking for a look up there for Thomas Myers.
Many Thanks once again.

Thanks once again Ed.
Shame there are no father's details, so I can't progress very easily.
INterested to know if your Moyers are connected.

Sorry you ran out of time but thanks Ed anyway, for taking the trouble. I have five possible marriages for my Thomas and Elizabeth JONES between 1828-1831. Just one probable so far, this is one of the others I'm hoping to eliminate.

Hi Barbara
Just relieve my curiosity where did you get the information that St Saviour with St James' registers were at Lancashire Record Office? As I said I tried both St Saviour and St James with no success and they had no registers for St Saviour and St James. I'd just like to know if I was missing something obvious.

Hi Ed Officer
Sorry to have been so long replying but we've been away for a week.
I found the marriages on the Lancashire BMD site which says that the records for those marriages are kept in Preston. I just checked again and confirmed it. Maybe they've been moved? Apologies if I got it wrong and sent you on a wild goose chase.

I don't have any answers for this but looking at the entry and clicking the link for the marriage of David Gregson to Winifred Bilsborough in 1937 and if you send to the local office the address printed on the Application Form is
Superintendent Registrar, Lancashire Registration District, Certificate Services, Quayside Court, Chain Caul Way, Preston, PR2 2ZP
At the dates Barbara was looking at, I suspect that the registers have not yet been passed to the Record Office.

Hi Barbara
lancashirebmd website is referring to the the registrar's copies of the marriage records. These are as it says at Preston (REGISTRAR'S DEPT for Lancashire) this is not the same as LANCASHIRE RECORD OFFICE which holds the original copies of Cof E marriage registers when they are passed over.
