Hi Christine As Sarah ALMOND is consistently registered as being born in Disley in the Censuses and her baptism can’t be found on FMP’s website during the inconsistent dates given (FMP supposedly have fairly complete baptismal registers for that area – but of course you can’t be 100% sure of that fact) it would appear highly likely that she was not baptised in a CofE church. Methodism and other non-conformist branches were ‘hot’ in that area at the time. An enquiry to Chester RO where original documents are held might clarify exactly what non-conformist registers they hold for the Disley/Stockport area and they might be willing to do a look-up if some have been donated later to the RO and after the LDS filming. I did note that on Sarah’s marriage certificate it says she is from Siddington to the west of Macclesfield – presumably where she was working at the time. I found this reference ** to a James HUDSON on the A2A website. James has been variously described in other documents as a Husbandman and as an Ag Lab. As your James was born in Rainow, near Macclesfield, this document may well refer to him – it depends on how many other James HUDSONs there were in the area at that time. Again you could enquire of Lancaster RO about it. It may tell you nothing - or it may tell you much more about his working conditions, employer, type of work in which he was involved, rates of pay, etc. Sometimes this kind of document is brilliant for showing context and background to ancestor’s lives. Worth a punt anyway IMO. **  Parties Names: Mr. Wright on behalf of Lord Derby. Messrs. Jas. Hudson and Jos.
