Here is George's baptism at St Aidan's Orrell.
http://interactive.ancestry.co.uk/60...nSearchResults He was born on 19 July 1862 and baptised the next day. Parents: Joseph Whalley (farm labourer) and Mary Whalley. Edit: Snap, Allan. You're all blurry fast this morning! |

it does look like the right marriage - Mary Pink was born in Orrel as stated on the census return
Baptism: 17 Apr 1824 All Saints, Wigan, Lancashire, England Mary Pink - 2 Daur. of Edward Pink & Elizabeth Born: 22 Feb Abode: Orrell Occupation: Miner added born 22nd feb 1824 - but aged 44 in 1881 - doesn't match ??....

Ah, Allan - that's interesting.
Just been looking at the marriage of Joseph Whalley to Mary Pink at All Saints, Wigan on 16 Dec 1858: http://search.ancestry.co.uk/cgi-bin...off=&ml_rpos=1 The record shows that Joseph was a widower (a correction to what was orginially written) and Mary Pink was a spinster. His father was a labourer named John Whalley. The details of her father are not filled in. |

This looks like Joseph and Mary Whalley in 1861:
http://interactive.ancestry.co.uk/87...d=&usePUB=true Billinge Joseph Whalley, married, head, 27, labourer at the colliery, born Rainford Mary Whalley, married, wife, 23, born Orrell Ellen Whalley, unmarried, daughter, 7, scholar, born Orrell So Ellen could be from Joseph's first marriage.

Hi , I am trying to find the right Whalley. Father of Joseph Whalley who Married Mary Pink . In a previous post someone mentioned the fathers name was John on the marriage online at Wigan all saints in 1858 . I have searched the online parish clerks on Rainford . And only can find one baptism around 1817 of a Joseph Whalley born to Thomas and Ellen Whalley . Could this be the right Father ? Has I want to trace the line back to Rainford any Help out there thanks ? ????
