Hi Peter,
My 3xgreat grandfather, John Caunce married Elizabeth Forshaw at St Michael and All Angels Croston on the 14th December 1773.
They lived in the Rufford area.
Sadly I have no other info to offer you.
Regards
Jeff

My Forshaws come from Burscough and Croston (farmers) then down the generations to Middleforth Penwortham and on to Preston.
What link are you looking for?
