Welcome to The Briercliffe Society Forum

Thanks Mel.

Hi Gloria, no, I don’t think I have seen the original, so if you find anything, can you pass it along please?

Will do.

I've seen the film of the marriage record on film but the only information it gave was:
When – 16 November 1797
Where – St Peter’s Church Burnley
Groom – Thomas Leaver of this chapelry
Bride – Nancy Thornton of the same
Witnesses – Robert Hartley & Thos Crossley

I think the witnesses are the usual suspects who witnessed most St Peter's marriages around that time.
