Ashton /Price marriage cert

[dollah]

I am searching for the marriage certificate or proof of marriage of My ancestor James Ashton bn 1827 Whiston Liverpool,worked as platelayer on the railway, lived in Wavertree, Wife Jane Price bn 1837 Liverpool. children Joseph,Peter, Eliza,kate, and William. I have found no records in the "Find My Past" indexes or other indexes I have searched, and I have reason to believe James married before, to a Catherine Laundy. As I live in Australia I have no access to local records so this is where my difficulty lies. would be gratefull for any advice or help.

Hi Dollah,

Havnt yet found James and Janes marriage. This looks like James previous marriage.

Year 1847

Catherine Landy
Jul/Aug/Sept 1/4
District Liverpool
Vol 20
Page 183

One of the grooms listed is a James Ashton.

In 1851 there is a James Ashton age 24 occ railway breakman born Whiston with wife Catherine and two children Benjamin age 2 and Ann age 1

In 1861 there is a James Ashton Age 35 occ railway guard born Liverpool
with wife Catherine age 33 born Liverpool and dau Ellen age 4 born Liverpool. No Benjamin or Ann with them.

Its looks like young Ellen is working as a servant in 1871 in the parish of Wavertree.

It looks like Catherine died after 1861.

Thank you Julie for your help with Ashton/price Marriage, I had an idea James may have married previously as I kept coming across James and Catherine Lundy in the early census... Maybe James never married Jane? I shall follow up and check out Ellen living in Wavertree, then check out the younger children of Ashton/Price.
