Thanks Lancashireann,

Hi Lisa,

Don't feel SO deflated !!!

I am 'on the case' and I am sure many others will be - we will get there in the end !!!

I think the two witnesses were just friends and probably not related (they did marry each other a year or two later)

Am following them around for a while and looking for dad 'John'

Have to go out for a while this morning but will be back onto it later.

I Just had a look on family search.org ,there are 9 possibles!!!!!!
Ranging from 1798-1825,where to start!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Guys,well i think this must be the lowest low i've hit since starting this tree about 2 years ago!!!!!!
Yesterday i recieved Robert Jones Whitworth & Ann Parkers marriage cert,it was my "worst case cenario"
Robert & Ann married on 24th July 1842 in Middleton Lancashire
No ages given,itjust says "of full age" so not even a clue as to his birth year!!
At the time of their marriage he was a school master,no address given,just Middleton.
And of coarse the worst news ever for me
his father was John Jones Whitworth,not Samuel,as i believed for the last 6 months!!!!!!!
His father was a "tinner"
Ann's father was John Parker,a watchmaker.
Their witnesses where James Fawley & "Nanny" Smith.
So thats it ,back to the drawing board,although at this moment in time i feel like chucking in the towel!!!!!!!
My aim for this tree was to try & trace my Whitworths back to the town,but at the moment thats looking less & less likely. kind regards a totally de-moralized Lisa xxx

still awaiting marriage cert,will keep you informed.kind regards Lisaxxxxx

Hi Guys,its no good,im gonna get my husband to send for the marriage cert for Robert Jones Whitworth & Ann Parker,then i will know 100%,watch this space!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry guys,i do believe this family is sending me quite mad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ann Parker married Robert Jones Whitworth Ashton &c vol20 p23

Ashton was the reg district for Middleton

the William p55 married Martha Mann

cf lancashirebmd.org.uk

see your post p4 - William was the name of their son b1843

I AM working on it Lisa !!

I really think we have two families here but haven't sorted anything useful yet!!

Will keep at it and come back to you.

Dea x

no problems - good luck with your searching

Thanks for looking Ann,much appreciated,im going to Manchester/Bury in June,got to goo to Manchester records office anyway regarding another line,so i'll take a look then,again thanks anyway,kind regards Lisaxxx

guess which years are missing in Lancs CRO!!!! even though the catalgue says they are there
1816-1820, 1842 & 1855-59
Murphy's law

there are originals I think at Manchester.Maybe it would be worth contacting them.

Hi Ann,yes thats it,im really confused now,as i said above,all census records show approx same ages of sam,so 1801 as a marriage date is way too early,but i cant find another.
