Hi
Ann. I have place of birth from census. I recently applied for a birth cert but Im not convinced the one I have is the correct one .
Ginny. Thanks for that I will have a look
Kathleen- Anns date of birth was 9 April 1839-I have birth cert. This means she was 20 BUT I am wondering if Mary was maybe a niece of Williams and not their daughter. I am probably going to have to get her birth cert as well
Thanks again

Was William previously married because I would have thought Ann was a little young to have Mary J.

According to Findmypast Ann was born c. 1844.

seeing lots of William White's born 1838 in Cheshire but none in Ince

Hi
My GT GT Grandfather was William White born 1838 in Ince, Cheshire. I believe he married Ann Brittleton born 1839 in Barrow, Cheshire but cannot find the marriage anywhere. I originally thought they married around 1863 and had a daughter in 1864 but on the 1871 census in Runcorn they have a daughter Mary J born c1859. (actually born 1860)
If anyone has a bit of spare time could they please have a look for this marriage please.
Many thanks
Christine
