They do belong in my tree, William b/1801 is my 4xgreat grandad, but I can't get past 1801 to find his parents or his marriage

The William and Sarah that Mel has posted is the only one I can find.

Is William B. 1826 your 3 X great Grandfather and if so have you been able to find him in a census.

Any information that you know of this family may be helpful to search back and find him.
Regards
Barbara

Hi Angela,
The problem is there are too many KEY,,let alone transcription errors or spelling mistakes...
We need to be able to pinpoint someone and the best shot would be William b1826....
When/where and who did William marry?
