wow thanks .....soffe? isnt that an anglo saxon name ?

I use Ancestry for records Ronald but it does cost!

Heres a site that is free to search BMDs


http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl


.....and this one is good for parish records and its free too


http://www.freereg.org.uk/

i have just searched annie soffe born c 1861 and it only comes up with one how can i confirm this?

Her birth certificate should confirm her fathers name which should be James according to the marriage

I've also got a marriage for Gabriel, the witness at James & Patience marriage but have no idea what the relationship is between him and James, cousins maybe

Emma & Susan both made their mark
