*Thomas & Mary Marchington
of Tideswell had a son called
Thomas 21st April 1799.
Thomas Marchington.1799. Married Ann Walker on the 16
July 1826 at Manchester Cathedral. Thomas was a Hatter by trade. People tended
to get married at Manchester cathedral as it was easier to do, less questions
and formality was required.
Children:
John.1826,
Sarah.1828,
William.1830,
Thomas.Dec1831.
c1832, possibly died before 1841
Martha.1833,
Ann.1840.
These names match the regular naming of most Marchington's.
Thomas was either a child of a John Marchington who was
living in the St Johns parish of Manchester around 1800, of which I cant find
any birth of a Thomas in St Johns church records or the son of
Thomas & Mary of Tideswell. I suspect its Thomas & Marys child.
Thomas died on the 30 Apr 1840 age 40 years old, and is
buried at St James Church, Gorton, plot; 1274. Also a Thomas age 3months
& Ann a daughter age 1year & 7 months. (taken from the grave book).
There are two other Marchington graves here. If Thomas had lived to the
1841 census we would have at least know which county he was from.
