Alis/Alice Walmsley & Alexander Fletcher: Mitton, Lancs 1720...
Hi all,
I am seeking more information regarding the backgrounds of Alice (Alis) Walmsley and Alexander Fletcher, married in All-Hallows Mitton (or Mytton) Lancashire 1720. They had a son and daughter (positively identified): Richard Fletcher b. 1728 and Anne Fletcher b. 1726 (who died 1 yr old). Richard married Jennet Chippendale in 1748.
I have found an Alicia Walmsley bapt. 10 Dec 1699 at St. Mary the Virgin, Blackburn Lancs Eng. Daughter of William Walmsley (occ. Taylor)... but not sure if this is correct.
I am attempting to see if there is any connection between this William Walmsley (possibly bapt. 13 Sept 1659) and a gentleman of the same name who took a lease on an inn called: 'The Cock Inn' in Great Harwood (from Thomas Hesketh) in 1687.
Can anyone help?
David.
