Re the marriage of Adam and Nancy / Nanny ................
Marriage: 1 Mar 1829 St Mary the Virgin, Blackburn, Lancashire, England
Adam Wood - (X), Washer, Widower, Blackburn
Nanny Law - (X), Widow, Blackburn
Witness: Thomas Eccles, (X); Joseph Fairbrother
Married by Banns by: S J Allen
Register: Marriages 1827 - 1829, Page 192, Entry 575
Source: LDS Film 1278807
I've looked at the original image of the Bishop's Transcript on ancestry.
1. I think it says WORKER and Widower for Adam, not Washer
2. The witness Joseph Fairbrother appears to be what is called a "professional witness", ie someone who is paid a small amount to act as witness for marriages ......... such a person is usually a member of the church, eg sexton, choir member, etc.
I say this because he name appears as witness on 9 out of 10 records on the 2 pages of the Bishop's Transcripts that I can see
Similarly, James Bolton appears on 5 out of the 6 records showing for Dionysius and Nanny's marriage ....................
Marriage: 27 Jun 1814 St Mary the Virgin, Blackburn, Lancashire, England
Dionisius Law - Weaver, bachelor, of this parish
Nanny Tunstall - (X), spinster, of this parish
Witness: William Guest; James Bolton
Married by Banns by: W B Winstanley, Curate
Register: Marriages 1813 - 1815, Page 183, Entry 548
Source: LDS Film 1278807
This means those two are no use fro tracing any family connection to the bride or groom.

I posted this at 21:25, and it looks as though this is the correct Nanny / Nancy ........
Nanny was baptised Nancy .......... this os possibly her baptism as she had children called Thomas and Elizabeth (and I cannot find a Nanny / Nancy with parents James and Elizabeth born around the correct time and in the correct place)

I'm just thinking aloud here .............
A Nathan Tunstall was a witness to Thomas and Bedtty's marriage .......... could this be Nathan's parents??
