    Notes 
    • MC gives no father for groom. named as 'Richard Houghton Aspinall, otherwise Richard Houghton'. GRO record irritatingly typed and contains two likely mistranscriptions: 'Richard L' Aspinall instead of 'Richard H' in the space for his signature; and marriage date 'Seventh August 1945', despite year clearly 1948 in the heading.
      Marriage recorded at Ince Register Office, 1948, in Lancashire BMDs and UK BMDs (Ancestry).
