Ann married William Smith on 13 March 1859 at Manchester. First marriage for both parties, bride 20 yrs and groom 22 yrs and a labourer. Parents of the couple are Jonathan Hampson and William Smith, who are both described as labourers. Address given for Ann was 30 Hart Street, presumably Stretford?, and Stretford given for William Smith. Witnesses to the marriage are George Banks and Margaret Hill. Both bride and groom signed their mark. Re - baptism of father, Jonathan Hampson, I have ordered a film of the BT for St Matthew's Stretford, but it may take awhile to arrive. best wishes Maxine
