Hi Carolyn, You wrote < My Gx 5/6/7(?)Grandfather was John GARSIDE (of Quarlton "w. Lancaster") Farmer. chr at St Peter's, Bolton 10 Feb, 1734; d 19 Nov and was buried at St Anne's, Turton, 22 Nov, 1793 aged 59. (Will dated 5 Nov, 1793, proved at Chester 6 Sep, 1794 & 27 May, 1816. Effects under 50 pounds.) He was 1st married to an "ALCE" ?. Could some kind soul please tell me how I would find out Alice's maiden name> I've checked the Marriages for St. Peter's for John and Alice from 1752-54 but have not found it there. St. Annes do have marriages but only from 1720-1731, and copy marriages from 1856-1911, which unfortunately do not cover the period you are searching for. Valerie
