Hi Andy,
Thank you so much for your help in finding Henry's parents. Just finished checking the OPC. They had 10 children between 1827 and 1848 . Don't know how they would manage without parents.
Your help was much appreciated.
Kind Regards
Mary

Mary Report 10 Nov 2009 20:36

Henry Fairclough married Elizabeth Swift Sept 30th 1860 at Pemberton Wigan.He lived Newtown Pemberton Wigan. From the parish records he was 22 when he married and his father was also called Henry.
He died in 1898 aged 62 according to Church burial records.
I do not know his Mothers name.
Could some kind person please check the 1851 and possible the 41 for Henry and his parents.
Kind Regards
Mary
