Other Information
William Postles born 1863
Married Emily Traiton on 29 May 1887. Williams father was called Nathaniel Postles (deceased) and he was a glass blower. William was a miner

John Postles who was a widower, married Ann Hassall on 12th October 1840 in Manchester. Johns father William was a Farmer John was a Wheelwright. Ann's father Thomas Newton was a Miller. Both Ann and John were previously married. I have a John who was a Wheelwright married to someone called Ann, but his father is Thomas Postles (married to Mary Winnington). I know they had a son called John as I got that information from Witton Parish Records. The census records I found for him must be for this John but I'm not sure who his father is yet. I have another marriage certificate which I am sure is for the same John, married again on 29th October 1851 to Betsy Bolderton in Budworth. Betsy's father Abraham was also a Miller

He was a Shoemaker and his father John was also a Shoemaker. He married Elizabeth Wright on 31 December 1867 in Manchester parish church. Jospeph Postles and Hannah Scragg had a son called John who was a Shoemaker and married someone called Elizabeth, I wonder if this is this John, but why would he put his fathers name as John and not Joseph.
