Member Since: February 2003 Posts: 95 Send Message	I am from Fanny Smith although I haven't found her baptism to confirm? On Fanny's marriage certificate to Edward Haines her father is John and a witness is Emma Smith. Christine

	I saw that one too, Flick, but thought it was too soon. If she was 20 when she married John Smith she would have been 58 when she married James Cooper. Is that possible, Christine?

Member Since: February 2003 Posts: 95 Send Message	I am pretty sure she was about 20 when she married. Yes she was an older bride as was James and I think he was 10 years older than her. On a census she states her place of birth as Eddington so I did assume that was Heddington. Thank you for all the info, some of which I already have, This part of my family has been challenging.

Member Since: February 2003 Posts: 95 Send Message	Thank you so much. I found the one's on IGI's. I have a couple of leads that nearly confirms Fanny is related to Ann Hughes, all I need now is Fanny's baptism and I will have the full picture. So John Smith and Ann Hughes were married in 1816 then the first recorded is Emma in 1821 I wondered if there where other children born between those dates besides Fanny??? Christine

	The first recorded baptism in WESTBURY is Emma's. One would imagine that Fanny was possibly born before 1821, although you haven't mentioned anywhere (as far as I can see) when....and where........she was born
