Hi everyone

Just wondered if anyone had Rochdale Parish Records for St Chads. I know a lot of them are online, but I'm after a marriage between Lawrence Lord and Mary Whitworth which took place on 29 July 1804. I can't find it online and want to see if there are any extra details on the parish records.

Thanks in advance
Belinda

Hi West Country Lass

I found Laurence and Mary's children on the Rochdale online parish records and it had a lot of details. It had their birth dates, Laurence's occupation (which was shop keeper) etc.

I wondered if the occupation would be on the parish records as this would totally confirm I have the right marriage of a Laurence Lord and Mary. I was also hoping that one of the witnesses may be a family member, but realise this is not always the case.

Thanks for your reply
