Thanks for the marriage Andrea - that has removed another potential headache. Frances

Thank you Margaret and Andrea, you seem to have confirmed that some of them hold together on different occasions and different spellings! Thanks to Gwyneth also. I will practice your method and hopefully next time it will turn out readable. Frances

GR maddeningly crunches together a first posting. To avoid this you can just put a few words in the box then add the rest of the message by pressing Add Reply. Personally I write all my message in the box...spaced as I want it, then cut and paste the bulk of it into a reply, deleting the duplicated portion from the initial box. This way there is not a long time delay for people willing to help. Gwyn

In 1886 Eva gets married with the surname Fauley but Georgina found her being born as Foley in 1861 Wharfedale. In 1865 there is an Ann Exley Foley born in the same district and in 1881 what I assume is Ann Exleys family is :- Joshua FOLLEY Head M Male 55 Paw, York, England Woollen Weaver Ann FOLLEY Wife M Female 55 Yeadon, York, England Ann FOLLEY Daur U Female 19 Yeadon, York, England Woollen Weaver Ann E. FOLLEY Daur U Female 16 Yeadon, York, England Woollen Weaver Ann aged 19 could be my Eva?? Also born Foley in Otley District (the forerunner of Wharfedale) are a lot more potential siblings :- Births Jun 1848 Foley Mary Ann Otley 23 382 Births Dec 1850 Foley Sarah Otley 23 571 Births Dec 1853 FOLEY Clara Louisa Otley 9a 107 Births Jun 1857 Foley Joshua Otley 9a 135 Births Sep 1859 Foley James Coultas Otley 9a 131 of these at least Sarah shows up in 1851 as Folley. Can any body see if they are all one and the same family please. Many thanks, Frances p.s. Please can anybody tell me how to make G.R. 'Tabulate' ?
