Witnesses to there marriage are william oliver gourwell and mary gourwell (not 100% sure on the surname can,t make out middle letter,s properly) in wesley chapel aughton road birkdale district of ormskirk. Joseph,s profession is a general labourer. His father (also joseph ) is not down as deceased his profession is solder or soldier.

was there any witness to marraige?

and the occupation of father and son .

If you know the father's names it would be easy to verify if the births I've found are the ones you are after. If you apply for the certs from the local registers office and say what their father's names are, then from my experience they would check that they are the birth certs you were after before issuing them.

Yes,Sarah,s father is named as Frederick Done on marriage cert. and occupation is boiler maker, so think that is him. Joseph is the one that confuses me most as i can,t seem to find date,s that match him. his death is recorded as 6th Jan 1956 aged 82yrs, by my calculation dosen,t that make his birth 1875 ? but don,t know were to go to from there ?.thanks

Buy the marriage cert........

Marriages Jun 1912 (>99%)
Done Sarah McMahon Ormskirk 8b 1453
McMahon Joseph Done Ormskirk 8b 1453

Their ages will be recorded........plus the names of each of their fathers.

With that info, you should be able to work back.

You can't hope to find their births without knowing how old they were when they married
