Appleton, (X) Married by Banns by: C D Wray Curate Register: Marriages 1803 - 1812, Page 207, Entry 786 Source: LDS Film 1885690 In Jan/Feb 1806, there were 51 marrs at Widan All Saints, and 45 in Jan/Feb 1808. Wm Bancks is a witness on 50 of these in 1806, and 43 in 1808. I would term him a "professional witness".

Member Since: July 2005 Posts: 10,667 Send Message	Your link goes to an 1841 census (this version from FMP) not a baptism 1841 England, Wales & Scotland Census Stair Brow, Wigan, Lancashire, England First name(s) Last name Sex Age Birth year Birth place John Yates Male 55 1786 Lancashire, England Tailor Elizabeth Yates Female 20 1821 Lancashire, England Edmund Yates Male 14 1827 Lancashire, England Jane Yates Female 9 1832 Lancashire, England John Nevil Male 15 1826 Lancashire, England Tailor to Labourer or vice versa is a bit of a change So which baptism are you looking at. Have you found him 1851 to give a place of birth and perhaps a more accurate year of birth. Above could make him 55-59 years of age

	I have a john Yates a Labourer/Tailor of Wigan who married Jane Appleton. I am wondering if this could be his baptism although looking at the map (Google) it does appear to be quite far away - in my opinion. The first child of the couple is Richard 1810 of Wigan https://www.ancestry.co.uk/interactive/8978/LANHO107_522_523-0187?pid=5177534&treeid=&personid=&usePUB=true&_phsrc=VXC7091&_phstart=successSource
