That is fantastic mgnv - didn't know Cheshire BMD had such information.

Interesting though that although Margaret was married as PERRY she was recorded as WALKER on her children's births.

Strange.

Peter

Who registered the births Peter? If it was her husband he may have just assumed that was her name....as that was his inlaws name

No checking back then, One of my gt gt gt grandmothers Is down as a married women on her 8 childrens birth certs and no mention that she had been married before.....did eventually marry the childrens father...26 years after the 1st child was born

Perhaps but I suppose he would have known from when he married?

The only certificate I have is for my ancestor Harriet, born 1843 - and it states:

First of January 1843 at Runcorn
Harriet
Girl
Samuel Thompson
Margaret Thompson formerly Walker
Labourer
M Thompson, Mother, her 'X' mark, Runcorn
Eleventh of January 1843

Chris :)

(FMP has quite a bit Cheshire)

Thank you Chris! After my ancestry sub runs out I intend to join FMP.

In my first post, I meant to say:

Using one of the local indexes at: http://www.ukbmd.org.uk/local_bmd
In this case http://www.cheshirebmd.org.uk/

but I forgot to add the first URL.
The split betweeen Lancs & Ches is the modern one, not the historical one - similarly, Lancs in Furness is under Cumbria here.

Thank you mgnv.
