Rannie. I suggest that you join, even if for one year only, the Lancashire Family History Society and attach yourself to Hyndburn branch. (Google the society) That will get your name and your interests in the quarterly magazine, which is read by hundreds and if anyone is also researcghing, they will be in touch. Ensure you get your email address in the magazine.It will also give you access to a Yahoo forum of 200(?) members whose collective knowledge is tremendous.In addition, you will be treated as 'family' by Hyndburn branch.

I recall that there was an important family of Rathbones in Liverpool - bankers I think. There is also a family history society in Liverpool & SW Lancashire.

More information may be useful: which church? any address?

Have you sought help from Accrington library ? - there will be a report in the Accrington Observer of the wedding.
