sometimes you just have to work a bit obliquely to get at the end result

but it is before 1837 so you won't be able to order a marriage certificate

Of course, silly me. I got carried away with the excitement of a breakthrough! I'll just have to keep searching for a link with the George and Elizabeth.

george and elizabeth have signed as witnesses to ????????

following martha through the census
1851 says born buerton cheshire - with husband +4 children born onnerley
1861 cant see her
1871 born audlem cheshire - with husband + child Sarah and one grandchild Emily Burton
1881 born audlem cheshire - widow with daughter Sarah and son in law william henshaw

most likely death

i can see rebecca cadman aged 18 in Sandy Lane audlem on the 1841 census.

also on same page is:

william cadman (labourer)aged 60, elizabeth Cadman aged 60, thomas aged 15, william aged 10 , maria aged 6 and eliza aged 4.

all the above born cheshire

this entry would fit in with

Name: Rebecca Cadman
Gender: Female
Baptism/Christening Date: 10 Aug 1823
Baptism/Christening Place: Whitchurch, Shroshire, England
Father's Name: William Cadman
Mother's Name: Elizabeth

according to igi there is also a george 1818 and hannah 1816 christened whitchurch to same parents .

george is married on 1841 census. cant see hannah.

George and Elizabeth were witnesses at Thomas and Martha's marriage. I was wondering if George might have been Martha's brother or father.

I've also just found more siblings to Rebecca - Mary, Sarah and George. Still quite a lot to work on - thanks for your help, it's given me a new area to work on.
