This should be the birth for William Henry Marsh

Births Jun 1843
MARSH William Henry Boston 14 244

The site that gives mother's maiden names does not have this entry for some reason.

His baptism is listed under his mother's name though

Name:
William Henry Marsh
Event Type:
Baptism
Event Date:
24 Apr 1844
Event Place:
Wrangle, Lincolnshire, England, United Kingdom
Gender:
Male
Mother's Name:
Elizabeth Marsh

I suppose there is a slim chance that his father had the surname Prince. Otherwise I can see no reason to change the surname

This might be Elizabeth's baptism

Name: Elizabeth Marsh
Gender: Female
Baptism Date: 16 Nov 1830
Baptism Place: Wrangle, Lincoln, England
Father: William Marsh
Mother: Elizabeth
FHL Film Number: 1542047
Reference ID: yr 1652-1914 p 80

and there is a burial

Name:
William Marsh
Event Type:
Burial
Event Date:
03 Mar 1834
Event Place:
Wrangle, Lincolnshire, England, United Kingdom
Event Place (Original):
Wrangle, Lincolnshire, England, United Kingdom
Age:
41
Birth Year (Estimated):
1793

So IF that is Elizabeth's husband and the father of Elizabeth jnr. then anyone could be the father of William Henry. (But this is getting into fiction now)

Hi Everyone,

I was able to take what you told me and do some research and I had my DNA results and matches. I was to verify that your guys hard work and help was spot on. Thank you so much for your help I really appreciate it. My dad 4 years ago, a few months after I started to really start looking and so this really means a lot because he never knew anything about his grandfather or paternal side of the family. His dad never talked about them and my grandmother didn't really know them. So thank you so much for your help. It really meant a lot. Some things that I did find out was they changed their name after Emma Pickering passed away, after they immigrated.
