Hmm, here's a turn-up for the books! Now FMP has put the Southport area PR's online, I've had a look at the marriage record, 24 Sep 1856 at Christ Church, Southport, James Rimmer, 21, bachelor, and Ann Marshall, 20, spinster, both of Birkdale. Witnesses Miles Blundell and Ann Rimmer. His father is down as James Rimmer, farmer, which fits my tree, but hers is Richard Marshall, shoe maker. I had her father down as John Marshall, farmer!
May have to make some serious adjustments to my tree...!
