I can't thank you all enough. I knew hardly anything before the weekend, and on my own found out a lot from the free bmd, today it feels like I have taken a huge leap forward. This really is a helpful forum. Jimmy give yourself a pat on the back.

FreeBMD has a marriage for John Ponsord in Dec 18498 in Bridgewater (I know there are family ties there), I wonder if this is my great-great grandfather and his wife Ann? Jimmy do you pay a subscription to the Census website?

Managed to find the complete list of people in that household, John & Ann were servants. I think I will now look to find out more from the women in the tree. To go further back I would need to order John & Anns wedding certificate.

I think you would need the marriage cert for John and Ann to say for certain.
