I have today received the Marriage Certificate for Clara Gretton to James Winterbotham.
16th January 1870 he is a Widower aged 26 years she is a 21 year old Spinster (Born 1849? I have her born 1852 at Hathern Leics )
Witness's Frederick Lowe & Agnes Howes
It is such a disappointment after waiting 22 days for it to arrive as it does not have a fathers name for Clara Gretton, it has James's father as John Winterbotham Cabinet maker.

I don't know how accurate the tree is that I took this info from is? But it states that this is the son of Clara. So she may have been married previously although not stated on her marriage to James?

Yes Arthur is James Winterbotham's son & his 1 st Wife Jane Brewin.
I do have this information I posted the Marriage details today as I was looking for Clara's parents names & received the certificate today
I previously ( 3rd May) sort help the title was Clara Gretton born 1853 Leicestershire which I think is all on page 10 onwards with all of the help I received from all of you wonderful people
I wasn't sure if I attached the information received today to those pages or put a new message on here.
