Hello Alan - welcome to the boards!

Where have you been searching for marriage records?

Looking into John and Hannah Pearson, Lancashire, I found a puzzle in their daughter, Elizabeth's, marriage.
They had 6 children
Alice, born abt 1823, George, abt 1825, Charlotte, abt 1826, Elizabeth, abt 1833, Thomas, abt 1836 and Hannah, abt 1838. First 4 born Worsley, last 2 Bolton.
Losing track of John and Hannah I looked for children. Charlotte had married Robert Abbotson so when I found the eldest daughter Alice, unmarried, with her 2 nieces Annie and Mary Abbotson on 1881 census I knew this was correct. Also on the return was Elizabeth Butterworth, sister, married and under occupation it had 'wife of Thomas Butterworth'. Though this was unusual I was glad of the extra info. However, I can't find a marriage between an Elizabeth Pearson and Thomas Butterworth although I can find a marriage between what looks like the youngest, Hannah, and a Thomas Butterworth in 1858. I have found a few likely deaths for a Hannah Butterworth before this census. Elizabeth and Thomas may have just been living together but I would welcome other sugestions.
Sorry this was so longwinded but thank you for reading it.
