Hi Shirley

Have you noticed on the 1841 census there is a William living with them.

People would give a fase dads name on a marriage cert to cover up that they were illegitimate

Have you looked for Martha on the later census,s

Just my thoughts- :-S

re:Miller/Ack*y..I think Shirley and BevW have given very good leads.

Ian- do you have access to Ancestry ?

Look at the Martha/William MILLER (in Manchester).1851
Same address as David gives on his marriage cert.

Hi Maureen
I have now got copies of the census reports and marriage cert
yes they are the same people one problem.
Martha Ackerley is shown as marrying a Henry Miller in 1845 so where does William Miller head of family come in ?
Henry Miller is definitely shown on marriage cert in 1845

Hi I was hoping someone could help with my research question above
Martha Ackerley is shown as marrying a Henry Miller in 1845 so where does William Miller head of family come in ?
Henry Miller is definitely shown on marriage cert in 1845 Occupation twister in
In the 1851 census it is shown William Occupation yarn twister in.

Just out of interest this was my own occupation when I left school in 1968
