Hi, Just joined the list in the hope that either someone has my one Wigan link in their tree, or else that someone has access to Winstanley or Wigan PRs and could maybe do a look-up for me? My GGG Grandmother Eliza HODGSON was born in Winstanley, Lancashire in or around 1808 (she died aged 76 in Jun 1884). She married my GGG Grandfather Joseph BONUS, and when I caught up with her on the 1841 census they were living in Oldham and had a child born in Oldham, William, born c1837. My GG Grandmother Mary Ann was born later in 1841. Apart from the 1841 census I have no record of Joseph BONUS at all, where he was born, where or when they married or even when he died. I am assuming Joseph died sometime between 1841 & 1848 because Eliza married William GILLIAN in Oldham in 1849. I have been banging my head on this brick wall for the best part of 2 years and I have just found out that Wigan has a mailing list, so I thought I'd ask if anyone shares my ancestors, or if anyone is able to look up the baptism of Eliza HODGSON in Winstanley or Wigan c1808 and/or the marriage of Eliza HODGSON and Joseph BONUS around 1836. I'm pretty sure they didn't marry in Oldham. Thank you.
