I have been looking for a birth of Mary Campbell in Bollington Cheshire cica 1840. I have tryed the present day sites and can`t find anything at all.
Mary Campbell was my G/G/Grandmother so any help would be great

What census sightings do you have? Where did you get the birth place and approximate birth date from? What was her father's name (from the marriage certificate)? Which Bollington do you mean?

I will have to try and get hold of a marriage cert. and I am not sure how to do that, as I am not sure now were they would have been wed.
I will have to do a lot more work I think.
Thank you.
I think I shall give Ireland a go and see what I can come up with

You most certainly should. You would be well advised to treat buying certificates as a routine matter and not just something you're forced into as a last resort.

This appears to be reference for the marriage:
Marriages Sep 1864

Bergin K*an Liverpool 8b 514
Campbell Mary Liverpool 8b 514
Hodge Thomas Liverpool 8B 514
O'Toole Ellen Liverpool 8b 514

You can order the certificate here:

Hi Peter
Thanks very much I will be off to Liverpool Reg Office first thing Tuesday.
But in the mean time have booked a few days in Ireland, but wont be able to go until September ( well at least I will get there) if any body would like a look up just give me a few details, I would not be able to do many so it would be first come first as they say.
So once again my very biggest Thank You to every one and I shall keep eveyone upto date as to what I find on the marriage cert.

Sorry for all the delay but I have at last got Thomas and Mary`s Marriage Certificate and they were married in "St.Josephs Chapel" in Liverpool on 19/Sep/1864, but and it`s a big but it dose not state were either of them were born only who their fathers were, Thomas= Charles (a mariner) and Mary= John (a stonemason).
So still looking for Mary`s details. We went down to St.Austell for more details on Thomas, and his Father was also in St.Austell c1796,as was his mother "Sarah Spicer Bersey" born c1798 and that they married in 1822 so now it is a case of waiting for those details ( have sent to Southport for all the certificates I could get details of ie. births, marriges, and even 1 or 2 deaths.
Thanks to everybody for your help.
Will keep you informed as to how I get on will make sure it`s not to long
