Thread: Pallot's marriage lookup-William KIRK

I know this is a long shot, but up until now I still have not managed to ascertain the name of my Great Grandad's first wife. Am hoping there may be a lead on the Pallots Marriage Index please.



William KIRK bn 28 Nov 1827 Elston nr Preston, LAN, ENG (cen41;51); bap 6 Jan 1828 St. Mary the Virgin, Goosnargh nr Preston, LAN, ENG;

Widower by the 1851 census and emigrated to New Zealand in 1854 where he re-married.



Any leads appreciated.

Many thanks, Glen

You could try following this line Mary Eastham married William Kirk Preston 1844 and died 1845. You will need to get the certs to prove if they are the right people.

Thank you Noggin 28, very much appreciated. Would it be possible for you to find William Peacock's Dob/Baptism. Thank you once again.

Thank you for that lead Noggin, I had a choice of Mary Eastham or Ann Goodman through the Civil registration site. The fact that she died in 1845 fits in too. Evidently there was a child of the union Elizabeth Mary/Mary Elizabeth bn 1st qtr 1845, so that would tie in also.

Your help is very much appreciated.
