About halfway down on the right-hand page. Both age 25, Henry "Ind" born out of Lancashire, Eliza born in Lancashire.

Wow, thanks! I have been trawling FMP newspapers but didn't find this!

Eliza's father Abel Buckley is OH's 4x-great-uncle.

Thanks, Kate.

Eliza was an only child (as far as I'm aware). Her mother Ann died young.

Thanks, I'll search the GRO index further.
