Good morning again
Freebmd gives:
The birth of John A.BATHER was registered in Burnley, Mar. 1936, mother's surname HELLIWELL.

I have searched Ancestry.com and Freebmd but cannot find any BATHER/HELLIWELL marriage.
Does anyone have any ideas?

best regards

You don't say what the fathers name was, is this the one?

Many thanks to you both.

My parents were married at Elim Church and I know it is no longer operational as a church, but not sure if building still exists.

I think my Nan went to Elim and I think that the building is still there.

:D Elim church, where I was baptised in 19 er um! Was pulled down and rebuilt as a Methodist Church to combine the one at Colne RD about ten years ago.
All my Eastwood ancestors went there and the present building is a pleasant and appears very well used.
The surname Bather I connect with my paternal Grandma, she seemed to know them quite well, but can't think of a christian name she used? ( it's that age thing again!!!)
She lived up on Marsden Rd, opposite the 'sanantorium' maybe they were close by?
