John`s Marriage to Elizabeth does not appear in the Parish records of Cheshire, Staffordshire or Shropshire. the reason could be a Couple- Beggar. A Couple-Beggar was an itinerant priest who performed marriages irregulary i.e. without Banns or Licence. Hardwicks Marriage Act of 1754 legalised such marriages, but the officiating minister was declared a felon.

John married Elizabeth about 1693. Elizabeth was born about 1676 in (in/of) Middlewich. Cheshire, England; died in 1738; was buried on 3 Oct 1738 in Middlewich, Cheshire, England. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
