this is presumably the marriage of your Nicholas & Charlotte - not married until 1848

Marriage: 26 Jan 1848 St Peter, Mawdesley with Bispham, Lancashire, England
Nicholas Bimpson - (X), 25 Weaver Bachelor of Mawdesley
Charlotte Woods - 25 Weaver Spinster of Charnock Richard
Groom's Father: Luke Bimpson, Weaver
Bride's Father: Henry Woods, Weaver
Witness: Laurence Sumner; Alexdr Moorcroft
Married by after certificate from the Superintendant Registrar by: Martin Twiss Incumbent
Register: Marriages 1843 - 1900, Page 15, Entry 30
Source: LDS Film 1526409

If no father named on Henry's marriage certificate it would often indicate that he was born out of wedlock

1851 census clearly shows 2 Henry's - 1 born in Standish and 1 in Dalton.

They seem to have been confused into one on your tree?

Henry Bimson abt 1846 Dalton, Lancashire, England Grandson Dalton, Lancashire

Henry Bimson (parents Nickolas,& Charlot)
abt 1846 Standish, Lancashire, England Son Leyland, Lancashire

I am still looking for info to confirm which is 'your's' !

Hi Dea, yes i have the certificate, the witnesses are Henry Eccleston and Sarah Ann Eccleston whom i presume to be bother in law and sister of the bride. The brides father was William Pendleton, residence for bride and groom are given as Poolstock Wigan. Groom is aged 22 and bride as 28' all signed with a cross.

hi Dea, this all i know;
the henry on my tree was born abt 1846 in Standish but no record of birth,
my tree lists his father as Nicholas Bimson b1823 Croston, his grandfather was Luke bimson b 1787 Mawdesley.
The correct Henry married Alice Pendleton on 3/8/1868 at Wigan Register Office on 3/8/1868 no father listed on certificate so there is nothing to say which family he comes from, later census records say he was born in Dalton which would tie in with another Henry b1845 whose father was also called Henry and a completely different family. I have no idea which is the correct Henry

Alan,

The Henry who you are looking for MUST connect to someone in your family tree.

Can you tell us where he connects please and all the 'correct' info you have on him.

There are a couple of possibles to match your info but we need to know all that you know in order to sort out the correct one for you.

The Henry i am trying to find was born abt 1845 in the Wigan area, probably Standish or Dalton, I cannot find any record of his birth and i think that my family tree which was passed to me by a cousin has the wrong Henry and therfore the wrong family prior to 1845.
