Pat, that's a lovely offer. If you have time could you please look up some marriages in Bury for me?
My old rascal Charles Alexander (sometimes misspelt as Alixander) married 4 times. He is my great-great-grandfather.
1)
Jan 1843 Parish Church of Bury
Charles Alexander to Lavinia Hargreaves (widow) nee Merrick
Any extra details a bonus!
2)
5 Aug 1850 St Mary's Bury
Charles Alexander to Mary Porritt (from whom I'm descended)
Details very welcome here, if there are any.
3)
Mar 1856 Parish Church of Bury
Charles Alexander and Mary Ann Jackson
again, any details would be welcome
There is another marriage,
4) Moss Side, Christ Church, March 1861
Charles Alexander and Ann Sylvester
I have marriage certificates for all these but I'm looking for any extra details.
If you notice any deaths/burials for the first three, that would be great but I don't expect you to look! Charles was unable to keep any of his wives alive for more than 5 years.
If this is too much to do, Pat, don't worry. I'll have to get up to Manchester one day soon myself.
Sorry but I had to look after my poorly grandson early this morning so I couldn't get an early start. You have to get there early to grab a reader. All being well I will go tomorrow
Hi Jen .........There aren't any cemetery records for Salford at Manchester Archives .There are some church registers but you would have to have the name of the church
