EDIT Sorry my geography for that part of the world is pretty poor. Is it this place or Bedford in Bedfordshire.

I have a marriage between peter Hampson and Catherine Ennicy married 09/09/1823 .
They had children Ellen/James/Mary .

Do you still think Peter was born in 1800? That would make him older than his dad who was born c 1806.

Could you say how you got back to Peter, and if it was not through his children then how do you know that he married?

Thanks

Possible, married in same church as Jethro:

Marriage: 28 Nov 1827 St Mary the Virgin, Leigh, Lancs.
Peter Hampson - (X), of Leigh Parish
Ann Woodward - (X), of Leigh Parish

Married by Banns with Consent of Parties by: Jonathan Topping Vicar

Witnesses are not connected - they appear on a number of marriages and are probably connected to the church.

How do you know that he was born in a Church?

Flip

Flip Report 1 Jan 2014 23:10

Ancestry is trying to link Peter Hampson to Ann Appleton, but I don't think this is correct as it is in the wrong area of Lancs. So personally I think you can discount this one for now.

Also now looked at the other marriage to Catherine, and that was in Wigan - quite a long way from Leigh.

However you have to make your own decisions.
