Maddie,
Marriage cert. states Joseph Richardson occupation was Coach Maker and his
father, John was a Basket Maker

also

Susan states Elizabeth's address was Springfield Lane Manchester but cert. clearly states she was living Salford.
I know it's same area, but could make a difference when searching.

Hi all thanks for your help but the main family i am after is the Holt side elizabeth holt father john holt a bookkeeper in 1844 do not have the family before marriage to Joseph Richardson
I also dont know mother of Elizabeth i have gone through a lot of births for Elizabeth holt but so far nothing that is why i was wondering if anyone else is doing holt family
If john holt was a bookkeeper when Elizabeth married what would the chances be he was at Elizabeths birth ?
