	Maybe they were living in Macclesfield when Emma was born and wanted to wait until they returned to their home parish to have her baptised?

Member Since: May 2003 Posts: 970 Send Message	Hi Christina Thank you so much for the marriage info. This part of the family has given me some problems but now I am on the right track. You have also given me a surprise as this family is my brother in laws and the name Snell is also in one of my daughter in laws families so will be interesting to try and find any connection between the two Very best wishes Barbara
