I am back to Robert France c1743 LEIGH Lancashire. There are others in the 1720s in the same area on the IGI..but i am unable to find a link

Hey Mark, i got your pm.

It was just something i threw into the mix Mark, not something to be taken as concrete, just a date to be considered as it was the same place area as the baptisms.

Tracey

you could try to find them on the 1841 ---1851 census's and see if they were living,this would break down the search area
If Bridget is still alive in 1851,look at 1861

I can't find a marriage for Bridget on bdm,but if she stayed single ,there is this death
