I also have a stray MILLINGTON or two. In the Dec Q of 1857, Eliza MILLINGTON formerly SHAWCROFT married John SOULT probably at Ripley. This was, I believe, her second marriage. The first having been on 20 Apr 1851 in Manchester (Manchester Cathedral?), when Eliza SHAWCROFT married a William MILLINGTON. This was also the second marriage for John SOULT. His first wife having been a Mary GREEN in about 1836 or so. She died in 1854. William MILLINGTON and Eliza SHAWCROFT had at least two children: Hannah b.1847 and John b.1855 So there's a further two MILLINGTONs for your assessment. These two were, I think, born across the Pennines in Lancashire. There may be others! -- Regards, Mike Fry Johannesburg
