Marriage of Matthew RHODES and Mary DEARNALEY

Matthew RHODES and Mary DEARNALEY married at St Michael and All Angels, Ashton-under-Lyne, on 18 January 1892. Matthew was aged 23 and was a bachelor. He lived on Stamford Street, Ashton and worked as a labourer, while his father, George RHODES, was a collier. Mary was a 22 year old spinster, also living on Stamford Street, so it is possible that Matthew was living with her family to avoid paying two lots of banns to be read. Her father, David, was a labourer.

The witnesses were Job Povey and Ann Bramald, X her mark.
