I am looking for the marriage of my great, great grandfather, James Arthur Birch to Maria Anna Theresa [surname unknown]. I have searched through the GRO indexes, but found nothing, nor did they register their children. He was born in the Manchester area in 1825 and was quite a well-known figure in his day. I have found lots of information about, even a sketch of him. As well as being a J.P., he was a Town Councillor for St Ann's Ward, Manchester. He died in 1889 and is buried in Brooklands Cemetery, Sale, Cheshire. All I know about Maria is from the census returns - she was born in Birmingham, Warwickshire, about 1833 and died in 1882, also buried in Brooklands Cemetery. Pat, Stockport, UK
