This was where my great-grandparents were married on the 30th January 1871 - Manchester Cathedral.
Gosh - married in a cathedral !!!
No not grand - the cathedral served the area as a parish church and in those days they did "block weddings" - up to 30 couples could be married in one afternoon session - just like being on a conveyor belt.
The happy couple were immigrants from North Wales - James Whitford Francis and a good old welsh name Elizabeth Jones.
I wonder what they thought of the city after living near Mold ?
.
It looks a nice old building.
ReplyDeleteHow lovely you have been able to trace where they were married etc, my grandparents, well I wouldn't know where to start.......
ReplyDeleteI don't even know where they are buried which I find really sad.
No-one to ask now either.
On this happy note, I will leave! Have a good weekend! GJ
