	Regarding William and Elizabeth in the above post,I'm trying to find a year of birth for William & can't seem to find it. I found a marriage for William Tofts and Elizabeth Nunn in 1809,& the closest year of birth for a william tofts I found was 1766,but that would make him 43 when he was married and 66 when he had his daughter Elizabeth in 1832.

	Adam There is no Thomas Tofts born c1855 but there is a Thomas born c1860 to Joshua and Martha. I take it from your first posting it is the son of Joshua you are researching so I would suggest that the first Thomas c1855 died and the second c1860 was named in his memory. A not uncommon scenario. Thomas is with his parents in each census until the 1901 when he is married. .From Free BMD...

	http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/cgi/search.pl Adam, It is always worth checking the FreeBMD site for births, marriages and deaths. Work is done by volunteers. Currently the records are up to about 1925ish. Registration began in 1837. Maureen

	Thank you for all the very useful info. I am now trying to trace a marriage,not sure of the year,probably between 1892 and 1902 I'm not sure,but it's my great grandfathers marriage to a Beatrice or beatrix Lilley,possibly in Linton but not 100% on that one,or any marriges between Tofts and Lilley around that time. Thanks.
