Leah
Dewhurst
was the
daughter
of
Thomas
Dewhurst
and
Elizabeth
Mitchell.
Leah was born
around
1848
in Winewell, Lancashire.
Leah married
Robert
Cundall
on Thursday 28 May 1885
in St Andrews Church in the Parish of Whalley, in the district of Burnley, Lancashire.
The witnesses at the marriage were Isaac Blezard Cundall, Jeanny Cundall and Mitchell Dewhurst.
Leah was
36 years old
and
Robert was
36 years old
when they married.
I think Jeanny Cundall is Fanny Cundall (Isaac Blezard Cundall's wife) and the person at the Register Office who transcribed the marriage certificate for me has interpreted the handwriting incorrectly and put 'Je' instead of 'F'.
Leah's second marriage was to
William
Summerscales
in
1893
in the Burnley Registration District.
