[Northern Lass]

could do with census adding for James if anyone can pls
whilst we work thru this

[Northern Lass]

need marriage pls for an Elizabeth Bennett and William Wood
adding marriage info for Oldswinford to Bcc looks like father is John Bennett
poss wit Rebecca Bennett?

[Northern Lass]

Mumbles do you fancy adding the census for James and the kids?

I cant see a marriage for Elizabeth Bennett and William Wood

I think census re kids ties it in as the Elizabeth that marries Wm Walker just age is bit out
for her and place of birth alters

see what I have put and then let me know if we can archive this one

[mumbles]

Added Nl ,
But still leaves question as to which of Elizabeth Bache already on bcc married
