Thanks June for both of those posts.... Not sure if I knew that or not but I haven't felt FMP useful in the past except for Devon.. So I will give it a go now for Lancs Wills.

As with Lancashire pre 1858 Wills - these are for people in those places South of the Ribble such as Colne, Burnley, Blackburn, Rochdale, Haslingden etc etc. (These are locations which you may not have considered to be south of the Ribble). > > To find these marriage licences you need to access the Cheshire records on Find My Past.

Hi Jane, Thank you for responding to my messages - very kind of you. However when I wrote these out - I had formatted all the individual steps in an easy to follow list.When the message appeared, these had all been merged into continuous text - much more difficult to follow. I don't know why that happens. I hope you find something of interest anyway. June Thanks June for both of those posts.... Not sure if I knew that or not but I haven't felt FMP useful in the past except for Devon.. So I will give it a go now for Lancs Wills. Jane >
