Do you know if Nathan's wife was called Lydia?

Her name was Alice Prescott and they were married at St Stephens, Banks, on 4 Sept 1907. Obviously buying the certificate ought to clear up the parentage question, but I'm trying to keep costs down - especially when there is a distinct possibility of ordering the wrong one!
Thanks, Mary

That's ok - it just rules out the 1864 Nathan who married his own 1st cousin Lydia Caunce in 1900. He was probably too old anyway

Mary,
Looking at Nathan Rimmer's on Free BMD from 1875-1880, birth and deaths born Lancashire
Deaths Sept 1876
RIMMER Nathan 4 Ormskirk 8b 478
RIMMER Nathan 28 Ormskirk 8b 489
Births Mar 1877
RIMMER Nathan Salford 8d 80
Births Jun 1877
RIMMER Nathaniel Ormskirk 8b 779
Births Sep 1879
Rimmer Nathan Ormskirk 8b 799
Births Jun 1880
RIMMER Nathan Ormskirk 8b 832
Deaths Sep 1880
RIMMER Nathan 0 Ormskirk 8b 517
RIMMER Nathan 0 Ormskirk 8b 617
If the two deaths Sept 1880 are the ones born Sept 1879 and June 1880, then that only leaves Nathaniel born 1877 Ormskirk district or Nathan born Salford area.
Free BMD states it is fully transcribed 1870-1889, births and deaths

Coincidentally Mary has contacted me via my Tribalpages tree and I've just sent her the same by e-mail. Could he have been registered as Nathaniel then reverted to Nathan? The 1881 census suggests parents may have been Edward & Margaret Rimmer, with Margaret possibly being a Barton (1868 marriages Spt Qtr)

Many thanks to Yvonne and to Brian for their detective work on my behalf. You've given us a lot to think about. I'l let you know when we have a definitive answer to this puzzle - unless of course you or someone else enlightens us first!
Thank you again, and happy Christmas to all.
Mary
