Yesterday I found some information which helped me with my reasearch,but of course I would like to get even further back.Please have a look at my reasoning and see if you can tear holes in it!
James Cooton m.Elizabeth ? This couple has children baptised in Tarleton Lancs.between May 1784 and November 1800.I looked for any marriages of a James Cooton to an Elizabeth and found one in Croston,Lancs.10/2/1784-brides surname Iddon.Witnesses Peter Rutter and Lawrence Farrington.
Lawrence Farrington(1761 to Elizabeth Farrington)would be about the same age as the couple.Elizabeth had a sister Ellen who married John Iddon.John Iddon and Ellen had Elizabeth.
The parents of Elizabeth and Ellen are Robert Farrington and Margaret Gaskell.
I discounted Peter Rutter as a relative because he witnessed almost 100% of all weddings.
Lawrence Farrington witnessed 5 weddings in four years-Bateman/Gaskell,Cobham /Heaton,Boardman/Calvert,Farrington/Gaskell.
My head is spinning! Do you think I have got back to the right couple ie Robert Farrington and Margaret Gaskell?
