Hi all, I have not very much on the family history for a while, to many brick walls. Yes this is still one of them. So if anyone ever finds a lead I will go back to them.

thanks

Hi all, I have tried looking for other children on the IGI to Benjamin and Mary, there are a few and none match with the names I have on Siviter and Mary as in 1841 census. It seems a shame to come so far and be stuck, its a funny affair, I still have a feeling mother Mary had been married before, s...

Hi, well there are a lot of maybe's so I will wait untill the cert arrives and see how to go from there, it may be the end of the line and I may never know if Mary was married or not.

Hi, I have sent for the 1840 cert, so will know within the week who os named as marys father. But had a though today, if Marths birth record states her father as deceased then he could only have died within the 9 month earlier. It could be that his death was recorded at the same church as Marths chr...

hi Jan found my way here in the end, thanks for you help with getting me back on also the lookup for Phebe. Now I have got to look at what I have, I think Mary may well have married a William hodgetts. Their youngest daughter to show up, Phebe was said to be born 1828, so if there was a marriage It ...

hi Jan, I cant say I have seen your look up for Martha on any link I posted. Are you saying you found her birth and she had no father named? I am still getting used to this site, I might have missed it. Where do I find it.
Best wishes

Hi Jan, yes that looks like it could be the same Phoebe, nice one. If I am right that would make her age 22 on her marriage. if she was born 1828 and married 1850. So not all that old.

Thanks
