Just go to LancsBMD.........don't specify area. Put in names only.

Put LancsBMD in your favourites..............and make use of it.

Will go on the B.M.D on Rainford church All Saints and see if they are born there or if the Corns are a local name...x

I wonder if anyone has a wee bit of spare time this weekend to help please.
I have been looking for the marriage between William Rigby a watchmaker and Ann Corns...what i know is :
They had a son William born 03/06/1811...family lived in Lace Street Liverpool.... his baptism was in St Peters Liverpool on 28/06/1811...he died in Manchester May 1850 and was buried in Little Crosby 7/5/1850 age 47, he was a farmer in Little Crosby with his wife Agnes Westhead.
I have checked St Peters records 10yrs each way for any other baptisms of their children , none....Also earlier for any Ann Corns baptisms ..none...There are a few William Rigby's...But i have no idea when they were born
The only Ann Corns i found was chucked out of Sutton back to Burtonwood late 1700's, nothing else.
The Rigby family had land in Little Crosby, have looked there but found no link.
Any help would be great, but being the late 1700's might be difficult.
Thanks
Joanie
