John Jackson (3xGG) born in Chorley 1794 parents Ralph & Mary Fisher. I have found a marriage in Chorley for a marriage 19/12/1784 which fits, Ralph is an Innkeeper and a widow so I have been trying to find a previous marriage for him in Chorley but drawn a blank.
Then I found this Marriage Bond
ENGLAND, CHESHIRE, MARRIAGE BONDS AND ALLEGATIONS, 1606-1900
Name Ralph Jackson Event Type Intended marriage
Event Date 18 Dec 1784 - Event Place Cheshire, England
Gender Male - Age 21 - Spouse's Name Mary Fisher - Spouse's Age 21
Is this him and does that mean that Ralph didn't live in Chorley or was it Mary? The bond was taken out in Cheshire but they married in Chorley 1 day later, if it is the same persons. I don't know much about bonds except they were probably in a rush to marry. I cannot find a previous marriage in Cheshire for him so I have hit a brick wall.
I have also found a website that refers to a Ralph Jackson being an Innkeeper, would there be any recorded information anywhere that I could look at?
"The Jackson's Arms was first recorded on the 1881 census but it is likely that there was an Inn on this site as far back as 1793 when a Ralph Jackson was recorded as an Innkeeper in Chorley"
