Member Since: July 2007 Posts: 60 Send Message	Thanks I thought that. It doesnt say he is deceased and the witnesses were either Pte John Gratrix or Stephen Gratrix (hard to make out , and Jannett Sotherne

Member Since: July 2008 Posts: 18,042 Send Message	Lesley, it may be because all of the Nicholsons were from Droylsden that it was assumed Margaret was born there, too. On the marriage certificate, did it say if her father was deceased? Who were the witnesses?

Member Since: July 2007 Posts: 60 Send Message	The Thomas is definatly my great grandad but dont know why they would be in Heywood to marry. She actually died in Droylsden and He is named on the death certificate in 1883, wonder if there is a mistake on her place of birth on census poss.
