Doing it the Old Fashioned Way

I've decided, there's nothing else for it, I've just got walk round Ashton-under-Lyne in 1861 looking for William Horrocks & family. I can't search the indexes any longer! My theory is that they are (think positive Vanda) in the Ecclesiastical District of St John's as that was the church George & Sarah married in. The problem with that theory is I'm sure people married in the 'wife's' church & not the husbands BUT at the moment it's the best theory I have :O)
