Cross-check the other two on the next available census.....just to make sure. Also, the info posted on here has not been verified......you need to purchase certs to be 100% sure you have the right people. Reg

Reggie, I think he was b in Bradford, West Yorkshire. I have just found one married to a Catherine and his b date is correct. Thats on the 1861 census. Could you tell me if theres a way of finding her maiden name, other than sending for a marriage cert? Thanks LLx
