There is a marriage at Manchester cathedral (parish church) on 5 Feb 1787.

The Bride; possibly Sophia Massey baptised, Mobberley, Cheshire in 1764, shown with various surname spellings on FSo.
..
The Groom; William Shackleton.-unknown

I can find no children or burials for this couple, in later years, except a burial at Salford- Sacred Trinity in 1807 of a S. Shackleton, could be male or female.

They may be non conformists.

Any suggestions please?

How did you work back to them if they didn’t have children?
