Hi , I was still trying to establish the birth of Mary swift from post 62 . she married john whalley in 1820 , witnesses ralph blackburn and ann swift .As i said in post later there are three trees of the whalley s but as you said the trees were mary married surname denton and owens are not belonging to me . I never did establish if there was a connection between ralph blackburn and ann swift witnesses at their wedding . I did findd a illigitamete birth to a betty swift in aughton in 1801 . there is a tree which suggest that a ellen harrison and john swift are the parents of mary.

Hi i'm sorry merry you will have to give me a pointer as i can't remember seeing a post . saying there was a connection ?

Merry · #**175** 05-01-22, 09:23

It was you who posted it. Prob around post 70, I don't remember now. They married each other soon after the couple they were witnesses for.

Hi yes Ralph married Ann but I never found out if Ann and Mary were related

Merry · #**177** 05-01-22, 12:43

Yes you did. It's all here on this thread between posts 70 (roughly) and post 131. After Post 131 you came back after 9 months on a different topic.

Qwackers · #**178** 05-01-22, 13:23

after post 130 we left the topic , as i couldn't find out anything else you had eliminated denton and owen as being Mary's husbands . So i never concluded who was her parents for definite . yes i for some reason started another post 7 months later . But I do appreciate your input , i'm partially blind and sometimes struggle with seeing somethings It's very difficult using some of the old sites without a new browser

I thought this was you having a success with the baptisms for Mary and Ann. (Post #121, I think)

I am happy with ann and mary's birth to ellen and john in ormskirk . yiu eliminated denton and owen , so that leaves us with her marriage to John Whalley . Hope you agree
