Research Notes

This record is a reasonable match to the marriage certificate of Henry Barton and Elizabeth Swarbrick. The marriage took place at this church – the Parochial Chapel at Broughton. Henry gave his father’s name as Richard and his father’s occupation as Farmer. Henry’s birth date is consistent with census records: in the 1841 census Henry gave his age as 25 and in 1851 as 40.
