There are a few kids of John WALTON and Sarah. Do you want them? I’m on Lancs OPC. I find it the best site for Lancs.

Every record shows John’s name as WALTON.

Pennington in Furness (where the 1791 marriage took place) is about as far from Manchester as you can get in Lancs. I'm not saying this means it can't be the same John marrying there, but Cheshire, Shropshire, Staffordshire, Derbyshire, West and South Yorkshire and even Denbighshire in Wales are all nearer Manchester than anywhere 'in Furness' which is the bit of Lancashire near Westmoreland and Cumberland.

There are two burials for Sarah Walton wife of John.
Age 29 1803 Preston
Age 43 1809 Blackburn

Can’t find any kids for them in Pennington after 1798. If this is the right couple, I’d say maybe the 29 year old, although I’ve no idea if Preston is anywhere near Pennington.

There's also this burial if these people are not to do with the ones from Manchester/Salford

Burial: 5 Feb 1832 St Michael and the Holy Angels, Pennington in Furness, Lancs.
Sarah Walton -
Age: 71
Abode: Rosshead
Buried by: Rowl. Robinson, Curate
Register: Burials 1814 - 1870 from the Bishop's Transcripts, Entry 95
Source: LDS Films 1040309 and 1040491

John Walter signs his name clearly on the 1813 marriage record and on the marriage bond (Cheshire records, FMP). Having said that, Ancestry have the 1791 marriage as Walter not Walton, so maybe there is partly a handwriting issue?

I's about half way between Manchester and Pennington, but the Furness area is quite cut off from the rest of Lancashire. Libby, I think you have people from Ulverston? Pennington is near there.

Yes, I think it probably is Walton and perhaps nothing to do with the Manchester people.

The John who married in Pennington seems to have been a slate digger or labourer (baptisms of his children in Pennington) whilst the one in Manchester was a shoemaker, so very doubtful they are one and the same.
