Greetings to All, 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.) Questions: 1. He was 1st married to an "ALCE" ?. There were at least 4 children bap. to this John and Alce/Alice: - Thomas bpt 16 Mar, 1754 St Peter, Bolton - Jane bpt 25 Dec, 1755, St Peter, Bolton - Jas bpt 9 Apr, 1758, St Peter, Bolton - John bpt 1 Feb, 1760 St Peter, Bolton & Turton. Alce/Alice must have died before John's 2nd marriage on 6 Mar, 1764, St Peter's, Bolton, to Betty/Elizabeth BROOKS (of Turton b. abt 1735; bur. 2 Sept 1805, Turton, aged 70). Thomas married Mary KAY 3 Jan, 1776, St Peter's, Bolton. Jane married John ISHERWOOD (of Edgeworth, weaver), 1774, St Peter's, Bolton. (She died at Turton, 1778). James married (?): Could he have married Ann (?) John, (my researcher tells me, "died young"). Could some kind soul please tell me how I would find out Alice's maiden name ? There are no burial records in Turton before abt 1777 for my ancestors. There is no listed marriage for John and Alice on the IGI Extracted Entries. Hoping for help/advice. Best wishes, Carolyn.
