Member Since: March 2008 Posts: 334 Send Message	New Update: Although Flick has posted the marriage of James's Jervis and Mary Martin I have not been able to find it myself so I have been unable to find Jame and Mary's fathers. However, I tried searching for the baptism of James with a father William and came up with this. County Shropshire Place Market Drayton Church St Mary's BaptismDate 04 Nov 1798 Forename James FatherForename William MotherForename Sarah FatherSurname JERVIS Abode TYRLEY FileNumber 9694 I checked on the map and Market Drayton, Tyrley and Mucklestone are all very close together, though Mucklestone is just over the border in Staffordshire. Therefore I think it is safe to assume that this is him. I have also found an Ann (14/01/1796), Thomas (28/02/1796, family living in Almington), Jane (22/05/1791, living Almington, no mother given), Sarah (21/10/1793, living tyrley, no mother given) and a Thomas (05/04/1789, living almington, no mother given), all baptised in Market Drayton. However, I have not been able to find a William Jervis, although on the 1861 census there is a William Jevis (aged 68) living three doors down from James Jervis, which seems like a large concidence, so I will have to keep researching this. Thanks for all your help so far. Aimmie
