I have a birth certificate for a child born to Henry BENTLEY & Thirza STANWAY but have unfortunately been unable to find their marriage.
07/08/1862 Harts Hill, Stoke upon Trent:-
Thirza, daughter of Henry BENTLEY, a Potter Journeyman resident at Harts Hill & Thirza BENTLEY formerly STANWAY.
I am trying to prove whether Henry BENTLEY is a relative of mine or whether he belongs to a different family. Also whether Henry was either the one born around 1821 or the one born in 1846, see below. Could someone please be kind enough to help? Many thanks in advance for any help provided.
