Thank you all for your assistance, I also think the above is correct. I did wonder if John & Elizabeth had any other children as they must have been mid 30's when they had Ann (Annie) in the workhouse.

I can see Elizabeth also in the workhouse on 1881 info but not John, did try to find him and there are a few John Isherwood as lodgers but it was hard to pin him down.

Without marriage certificate is it possible go back any further or am I at the end of the line now :-(

On the 1881 census for Annie at the workhouse, there is a 72 year old James Isherwood a few lines down from her.

Doesn't help with a marriage but may prove relevant somewhere.

Thanks Lianne - It doesn't appear that she had married previously then.

I will see what I can find.

I see that Anne was still in the Workhouse on 1881 census but with her parents on 1891.

I will see if I can trace them through.

this is the link to the certificate I have, not sure if it will work though.

All it says is Elizabeth Isherwood formerly Martin but it could read marlin or mailin??? tricky hand writing I must say!

Is there any other name mentioned for her mother on that cert Lianne - perhaps she was previously married and they married under her first husband's name?

Lianne Report 16 Feb 2016 17:30

Thank you, to confirm I do have that certificate so I know mother's maiden name was Martin.
I just don't know where else to look for John & Elizabeth's marriage information.
Any suggestions?

Help, I can't seem to find their marriage which will help me with their fathers names.
They seem to spend their life in and around Manchester.
Daughter Ann (Annie) Isherwood was born on 26/5/1876 in Fishpool Workhouse, Farnworth, Lancaster.
John at the time was a stripper and grinder of cotton cards and later on I see he is listed as a grinder. (I am not sure what this occupation is)
Many thanks for reading.
