Hi Maureen

You are really good at doing this, going back further. Because of my lack of understanding about going further I gave up at this point on my MN.

You have been a star with all the help you are giving me, I really do appricate it, I wish I was able to understand going back to this point.

Regards
Samantha

Hi Samantha,
OK-James CHURCH. When you get his marriage certificate it may or may not bear out the theory that he's the son of Beaumont and Sarah CHURCH-born circa 1834 in Offton,Suffolk.

If you check out the Search Trees at the top of the page,it looks like some people are searching the same CHURCH family as well as the SPALLs. Might be a good idea to get in contact!!

Good luck!
