Goodshaw Baptist Old Chapel The only source I know is Rawtenstall Library. They have some old books and things from the old Baptist Chapel. I do have some copies, but not with me [I am currently in France]. I will try and check when I get back to Blightly later this coming week. I have not checked recently, but Lancashire Online Parish Clerks may have something? Baptist Old Chapel was never [so far as I am aware] licensed for marriages. Most of the early ones were either at Haslingden or Burnley / Habergham Eaves. Later in the 1800's Goodshaw C of E did marriages. John Riley Family originally from Meadowhead [1841 census]. ----- Original Message ----- > > Date: Mon, 30 Apr 2018 15:42:03 +1200 > From: Shirley Brown <essanjay37@gmail.com> > Subject: [LAN] Goodshaw > To: lancsgen@rootsweb.com > Message-ID: > <CAO8tNkbFNJE+GLJn8dUUswe3XVvSQQ5oxF=a3gJ0h3Q9COHsvA@mail.gmail.com> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" > > I have an 1803 marriage found ancestry records . > " Lancs C of E marriages and Banns 1754-1936 " > The marriage was Baptist Old Chapel , Goodshaw . > I cannot find any further records for Goodshaw . > Any ideas please !!! > > My James PIERCE mar Betty GUYE > The surname has been transcribed as James PEERS and all the children have > the surname PIERCE , Betty has dropped the 'E' in her surname .
