Hi, I'm new to this list. And as usual I'm struggling pre-1837.....

I'm looking for my UNKNOWN GGG grandmother who was

husband of: William FORREST, brickmaker
mother of: James FORREST, cotton piecer, born 1832/33 in Mellor,
Lancashire.

Aside from a wave of a magic wand, there are a couple of things I'd like
help with:

1. Can SKS do a lookup(s) for James' baptism in Blackburn churchs? Big ask
I know, but if you can... it would be GREAT!
2. Can anyone claim & rule out any of the following IGI marriages:

William FORREST and Ann HEATON- Ribchester July 1828
William FORREST and Mary WALMSLEY- Blackburn May 1832
William FORREST and Nancy ELLISON- Blackburn May 1832

A fourth possible wedding between William FORREST and Jane LONGWORTH
in Blackburn in May 1832 can be ignored. Jane was the second wife of
a different William FORREST, a flagger and slater. (Source: Jacqueline
Williams)

Thanks for any help you can give.

Cheers
Paul
