Thanks Lindsay, I may have to order that certificate as I cannot find any baptism for Edwin.

It would be so great to find David Spetch's parents on an 1841. I believe they are James and Mary Spetch.

Just to let you know that the lady I am doing this for is in her early 80's. She had a look at some of the other research arlier this week and she got very excited and then a few tears as well. She can't wait for the next installment.

thanks again,

Selena

Oh my gosh! Hope they had a big house!

It's that great that you have them all together and with the father in law too.

That is such a help I really appreciate it.

Many thanks

Thanks Lindsey, there's another son there I didn't know about (William)

I think I have found Edwin's marriage to Elizabeth Spetch in 1859.
