What did surprise me is that John was privately baptised which is usually done if the child is very poorly and not likely to survive. I will check the deaths and see what that says. All the best jane

I cant find a death for her or a marriage between William and Martha so could Martha and Maria be the same person? I'm afraid I have to go now and get tea ready. I will look in later Thanks for your help Jane

	No, just to confuse things I think you've got 2 Williams one married to Martha, one to Maria. They're both on the 51 census. Here's Maria badly mistranscribed but the original is Featherstone. 1851 England Census about Maria Fricchione Name: Maria Fricchione [Maria Featherstone] Age: 38 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1813 Relation: Wife Spouse's Name: William Fricchione Gender: F (Female) Where born: Wiveliscombe, Somerset, England Civil parish: Wiveliscombe Town: Wiveliscombe County/Island: Somerset Country: England Registration district: Wellington Sub-registration district: Wiveliscombe ED, institution, or vessel: 2d Neighbors: View others on page Household schedule number: 273 Piece: 1921 Folio: 100 Page Number: 67 Household Members: Name Age William Fricchione 42 Maria Fricchione 38 Edward Fricchione 16 Ann Fricchione 13 This William is an ag lab.

Member Since: May 2003 Posts: 3,595 Send Message	Thanks for that. The parish records agree with what you say there are two Williams and my one is the one that married Maria. All the best Jane
