At st Michaels in Aughton , I know it's a shot in the dark whilst I am looking for William Hales mother the other problem is st Michaels is a Anglican Church . The church is approx 3 miles from Ormskirk . And there seems to be a few families of Hales in that area . There is a Samuels marriage but it is in the 1850 s which is earlier than we wanted . Anyway you can give me your thoughts on that . Thanks

With regard to the marriage at St Michael's Aughton - as I said in post #43, Catholic marriages were illegal from 1754 to 1837, so it's not a 'problem' to find marriages of Catholic people in an Anglican church. What is a problem is that you don't know who you are looking for!
I don't understand your comment about Samuels.

So Lancashire Record office say they no longer have these microfilm numbers?

Marriages
1784-1845 held by Lancashire Record Office DDX 241/26 - Microfilm < some of these marriages may be illegal!

If you didn't approach them with the film numbers before, I would ask again.
