Calling all DIEHL descendants in Lancashire, England...

I am descended from a Christiana DIEHL of Hesse-Darmstadt, Germany. Christiana had a sister by the name of Maria DIEHL.

From Christiana's and Maria's marriage certificates I have established their father was named Peter DIEHL.

Maria married Frederick LENZ (also German) on 12/09/1850 at Manchester Cathedral, Lancashire. Christiana Diehl and James Littler were witnesses.

Christiana married James LITTLER on 24/08/1851 at Bury Parish Church, Lancashire.

Both couples ended up living in Ashton-in-Makerfield, Lancashire, although Maria and Frederick eventually moved to nearby Haydock.

I'd love to hear from anyone with a Lancashire DIEHL connection or anyone who thinks they can add to anything above.

Many thanks for reading.

Kirsty.
