Sally: would you please get in touch with me? Donna Collinge Martens Muskegon, Michigan DJMFLAG@aol.com

Hi Donna Crisp's Marriage Licence Index is available to Ancestry.com subscribers, BUT, the records are for marriages carried out in London. I copied over all of the spouses I could find that were residents of Lancashire at the time of the weddings in London. I'm very behind in answering some correspondence and I notice that you'd written to me about the entry of a birth for John Colling in Radcliffe, so I'll answer that query here... This was the entry I found: Name: John Colling Gender: Male Baptism/Christening Date: 19 Jan 1800 Baptism/Christening Place: St. Mary's, Radcliffe, Lancashire Father's Name: James Colling Mother's Name: Betty I came across this on the Family Search Beta Website: https://www.familysearch.org/ If you click on the link and enter the details as above on the search page, you should be able to see the transcript of the entry for yourself. Hope it helps.

Great work Sally. Many thanks.

Thanks for that Sally.

Sally, I am a member of Ancestry, will I be able to look at these marriages, as I would love to find a marriage of a Margaret Horrocks, also a John Ainsworth in the Bolton area around 1740/60. They were the parents of my ancestor John Ainsworth Horrocks. Margaret Horrocks

Hi Margaret, The database is for marriages carried out in London. I saw whilst searching, that a number of people were residents of Lancashire when they married, so I thought I'd copy over the details for list members. There are actually more than I thought and will have to finish it off later... :o) I'm assuming that you should be able to see the records as an Ancestry subscriber, but as I said, you won't find any marriages taking place in Lancashire, as the records are purely for the London area.
