Hi Julie

I thought you had found someone from my family. I was getting all excited and then realised their ages were wrong. The William that I have who possibly married a Jane was born 1764. Oh well I will keep on looking. Thank you so much for looking for me.

All the best

HI Ann

Thanks for your help.

William Chorley and Ann Press are my direct line. I have spoken with David Cheek in the past but he can't tell me who John married.

Thank you very much for trying to help me

All the best

Thanks Roy

According to the parish records a John Chorley married Jane Greenslade in wiveliscombe. I was hoping this one was mine. I am now trying to prove it one way or another. This means that your John is unfortunately not mine.

Strange though because the family did move to Milverton

Thanks for trying

Jane

Thanks for your help
