Can't find above marriage on freebmd so don't know what to think of that!

You sometimes find two dates of birth and in slightly different places as people sometimes registered the birth of a child in father's parish and mother's parish.
You also have to be careful as some are not birth dates, but christening dates.

You need to print this all off now and put it into order so that you can see what is missing.

Hope it's all helped, it all seems to fit anyway.

Going to make a cup of tea now!

Hold on just one more thing.
Found birth for David:-

Father: JOSEPH HARRIS
Mother: MARY

Catherine - what can I say!! I had some of this but by no means all, so thank you from the bottom of my heart. It is a bit confusing - I assume David married twice, Or maybe he didn't marry Emma at all! (Don't know what the marriage to Emma Harris is all about!)
I'm sure you are right about Clement in 1901 - who can blame him for calling himself William.(Sorry any Clements out there!)
Many thanks again.

Hello Jan,
Glad to help. It's always nice when info matches and this research wasn't too difficult, with a name like Harris I was expecting it to be spelt in all kinds of ways but here there wasn't too much problem.
It would seem that David married Leah, she died and he married Emma in 1842 but don't know why I can't find anything on bmd, but then bmd records are not complete. With the christening record of Elizabeth and Letitia at least you know her maiden name was Hill.
When I have a bit of time I'll try and find something that matches.
Regards
Catherine

Thanks Catherine, you're a star. Where would we novices be without folk like you?

PS at the risk of pushing my luck, if you want a real challenge - who was Amy Hand?? Have tried to figure it out but in vain.

I'll look into it and let you know if I find anything.
By the way you owe me a glass of wine!!
or two!!
Catherine

Well, I suppose that's true! Can you get virtual wine?

Catherine - just wanted to thank you again and to tell you that thanks to the 1901 census find I have made contact with a Powell relative - namely Clement William's grandson! It got a bit complicated because of their tendency to use 2nd names, but we got there in the end. As this is the 1st Powell contact for us both, it is very special to me.
thanks so much.

Glad to have helped.
Good luck with the rest of your research.
