Hi Barbara, I managed to get to the Archives today and looked up the marriage of George Hart and Betty Rostron. Unfortunately the entry in the register did not give any more information than the transcription. It merely said that both parties were 'of this parish'. There was no occupation given, and the witnesses were parish clerks. Both parties signed with their mark.

I am also trying to find his death info. I suspect he died prior to the 1841 census. Let me know if you could look it up for me. Thanks, Barbara Los Angeles, Ca Hi Barbara, You wrote <Could someone look up the marriage record of George Hart married Betty Rostron 1st Jan 1822 at St Peter, Bolton Le Moors (IGI).> I have the indexes of St.Peter's marriages and can confirm that George Hart married Betty Rostron (Rosthorn on the transcription) in 1822. Unfortunately these indexes do not give any more information. You wrote <Can I order a certificate from the Church?>. I would doubt this. You wrote <I am interested in place of birth and names of parents.> The actual marriage records for this period do not normally give place of birth (only the parish), and do not give names of parents. The only other information you are likely to get are names of witnesses, and occupation of groom. I could look up this marriage record next time I go to the Archives, which are closed at the moment for stocktaking. Valerie
