Is anyone familiar with parish registers in the Workington, Cumberland area and is able to assist me please?

I have an Elizabeth Pargeter who married Thomas Hartley in 1855 at St Mary's, Kingswinford (got the marriage certificate and 1861 census.) By the 1871 census Elizabeth (Pargeter) Hartley is a Widow living at Hawksley Terrace, Workington, Cumberland, Ecclesiastical District: St Michael.

I think Elizabeth (Pargeter) Hartley then married a William Noble in Sept Qtr 1875 Cockermouth Reg. Dist. He died Sept Qtr. 1880 Cockermouth Reg. Dist. I have her on the 1881 census as Elizabeth Noble, a Widow, living at Guard Street, Workington, Ecclesiastical District: St. John.

Elizabeth (Pargeter/Hartley) Noble then married William Collins in Mar Qtr 1889 Cockermouth Reg. Dist. He died Dec Qtr. 1900 Cockermouth Reg. Dist. I have Elizabeth and William Noble on the 1891 census living at Havelock Terrace, Workington, Ecclesiastical District: St. Michael.

It looks as though Elizabeth Collins died in Mar Qtr 1906 at Cockermouth Reg. Dist. aged 69 after outliving 3 husbands. Made of strong stuff these BC wenches

I've no idea what Churches there are in this area, apart from information off the censuses.

So, my question is, is anyone able to do the above marriage look-ups for me please or are they online and I've not been looking in the correct place?

Thanks in advance for any assistance and reading this far.

Is there anything else anyone can add to this?

I've found the marriage of Elizabeth (Pargeter) Hartley & William Noble now. Pretty sure I'm on the right track so this can now be archived please SRD.

Many thanks
