I think I may have found Martha's maiden name as being 'Tasker' as on the I.G.I. there is a record of a Samuel Cluff marrying a Martha Tasker on 10 May 1822 at St Oswald, Chester (is there a St Oswald church in Chester or could it be St Oswalds Church at Backford?). Also, in the 1851 Census there is a lodger living with Samuel and Martha called 'John Tasker' (no relationship given), widower, born at Upton, Cheshire, around 1758.

Can anyone confirm or give any further light on this?

Thanks

I can take a look at the Backford burials to see if Samuel is there and I can also check out the Chester marriage.

Thanks UKsearch. I know he is burried at St Oswalds Church in Backford because I have been there and seen his grave stone (he is burried with Martha and some of his sons). As for the offer to look at the marriage records, I would appreciate that, thanks.

Well I can't argue with that:) . I didn't see your reply till after I checked, but no harm done as it only took a couple of minutes to find it. The marriage details are not very helpful.

UK,
Thanks a lot for your time and help.

Whether these are my Samuel and Mary although the Cluff (Clough) and Tasker would sound right, I would need more proof to be satisfied. Any suggestions? Anyone??

Just to bring this back to the top incase some haven'e seen the thread that might be able to help.

thanks,

Ivor
