    Hi Mattygirl

    I know I'm probably preaching to the converted, so apologies in advance!
    Have you tried Lancs OPC?

    Hello Mattygirl!

    As you have their marriage date, have you tried to get their marriage certificate? As you know this will give their date of birth and parents names.

    You don't say if you have found them on the cencus. I have found a Peter and Susannah Smith in Tottington in both 1851 and 1861. This puts Peter's dob at abt 1789 and Susannah's dob at abt 1787. This Peter is a Farmer of 10 acres.

    I think getting the marriage cert is your best bet as this will also give Peter's occupation and then you will be able to trace him more easily on the cencus.

    Lancashire BMD show a Peter Smith, Tottington, dieing in 1863.

    I think this is going to be a difficult search. You need to find a marriage that shows parents. There are some possibilities on births and there are more. Its only based on Bury assuming they were both born there.
