Derek mentioned the following about the above records:
... Warton is near Carnforth in North Lancashire. On Wednesday (Mar. 12, 2003) I spent the day at the Lancashire Records Office in Preston ... and was quite surprised to find the Wrathalls. I asked Katherine Hayhurst if she knew where Buckstone was (the marriage) and she knew it well. It is an old stately house, once the home of Lord Wakefield, and it would have had many servants like the Wrathalls.
These records are also available at the OnLine Parish Clerks project for the County of Lancashire: see their Warton page.
