Sally.........it's very important to give date info, if you know it. Makes the task of searching less of a lottery.............

BUT.....your original request was for John's parentage, so it was assumed that you were looking only for that info.

Could this be John's parents' marriage? (Easter instead of Esther)

Methinks Joseph and Edward were born before parents' marriage. They were married Oct. 1852.

Thanks for the info loads to do.

MargaretM Report 7 Oct 2008 15:42

Curious! They were living together as man & wife in 1851 with 6 children. Why the 1852 marriage? Wrong one?

Ericthered

Ericthered Report 7 Oct 2008 15:45
