That marriage has John as father- the one here (BCC) should be William?

I hadnt even noticed that RF!

That's the one I thought too Barb

Not sure where I am now

anyone?

So this looks ok...not sure why the confusion unless I am wrong..

so....William Davies b 1849 marries Elizabeth Slater
https://www.tribalpages.com/tribe/brows ... d=26508382

maiden name confirmed by kids Jonah and Adam as slater

so that looks fine and I have added it.

So does Jonah marry and so doesn't die in the war?

I will put in his notes possible.military info

ok to arc?
