Good spot Reggie!!

Transcribed as Eckles on ancestry, so he was still unmarried in 1851, wonder why they didn't get married??

James Eccles - (X), Servant man, Parish of Aldingham

Note the surname of one of the witnesses!

Sugar, I looked at that one and didn't even twig the witness name! Must be getting old.

I knew I'd found another Postlethwaite connection -

Though haven't a clue how this connects at the moment! Got to take the dogs out, the're crossing their legs and staring at me - not a pretty sight.

OMG you 2 are brilliant I, did get confused with the surname ACKLES, I am so very happy,, Postlethwaite does seem strange as the witness to the marriage. Another strange thing is that there is a George GIBSON on the census...that is the other side of my family that I need to find out---- My mothers maiden name!!!! Many thanks once again x
:-D

Sorry Reggie was the burial you noted 20 Dec 1818 was that for daughter Anne or son James aged 1, if it was James then does that mean they had another son James in 1825?...I know I must sound thick but I fed up with the name JAMES lol maybe you do as well ..certainly patience is needed on this !!!! :-D

The info is on the record I posted

If in doubt, look at the record yourself on the LancsOPC site

thank you and I didn't know of the LancsOPCsite.

Agnes Postlethwaite and Robert Postlethwaite must be related somewhere, ,as that name has passed down through the family xx Thanks for everything :-)

Hello
I am researching the Eccles family on behalf of a friend and came across your messages - amazing what you can find online.
My friend's granddad is Robert Postlethwaite Eccles - so you must be related xtootsy16x
I have got back to 1881 then found all these postings. (My subscription runs out this month so if you would like to get in touch here is my email [email protected]) Thank you.
