Lancashire Marriage indexes for the years: 1867

LEAVER William
SIMPSON Mary
Burnley Register Office or Registrar Attended
Records at Preston RM/24/136

This couple are on the 1871 census at Holt Hill (see Leavers censuses under P1 of "what's in a name?") along with Mary's father and a child, Mary aged 1. William's age is given as 50. I believe he is the son of James (1798) and Betty Nuttall.
