Could i please ask for assistance in searching for Mary Elizabeth Heys
born c1760 in Lancashire....I have looked on the opc

Charles Holt and Mary E Heys are my 5 x great grandparents

Charles's parents William Holt and Hannah Woolwoork married 07/04/1744 at Haslingden, Lancashire, England are my 6 x great grandparents...

There's a possible marriage on family search for Charles to Mary Heys 20/9/1783 at Haslingden, but there appears to be a gap in the parish marriage records from around March 1783 to April 1784 - either they've missed transcribing the period or the pages are missing. I think the only way to check would be through the records office, unless there is something in LANCAT (Lancashire archives online catalogue) but their search engine appears to be playing up at the moment.

Thank you Flip for the extra information really appreciated

Haslingden's records have gaps on Lancs opc, but are otherwise quite comprehensive.

Looks like Mary may have made it to the 1841 census - in Haslingden according to FMP, but I'm not seeing this on Ancestry. Burial 9/2/1842 age 77 looks like a possibility for her.

Thank you Maddie

checked baptisms from a tree on ancestry but records do hot show his ogccupation

Looks like a sister for my Charles thanks Flip

A coincidence same date?

Baptism: 24 Mar 1762 St James, Haslingden, Lancs.

Thomas 1783
Charles 1784
Henry 1786
Charles 1787
Margaret/Peggy 1789

when were the children born, there are some Haslingden records on ancestry

Yes Flip that does look like the correct entry

Many Thanks

Is this his burial (from Lancashire opc)

In that case, you'll need to visit the Records Office

I found the details on the IGI... Nothing showing on Lancs opc

Look for his marriage on Lancs OPC

Or the baptisms of his children

Please if anyone could possibly help with my 5 x great grandfather who is Charles Holt 1761-1829 he was baptised on 24/03/1762 Haslingden, Lancashire, England. he passed away 1829. I would be interested to know what his occupation was but seem unable to find this. Any suggestion much appreciated.
