The nearest William I can see in 1841 has a father named Thomas who is a Thatcher?? If you dont have your William's marriage certificate how do you know his father is John??

Georgina & Pam, Sorry about the delay girls, I had visitors, I haven't gone to bed Reg, abit early yet, Thank you both for your help, you have been most helpful. I don't know for sure that John Was Williams father, it was just a guess really. The 1841c that Pam posted Im not really sure abt that one Eliza Goff could really be Williams Sister, and the William Owens 67 Ag Lab. I do know that William died June 1878 & Emma remarried a Thomas Tarrant (which is my line) Sept 1880. I was wanting to get Williams parents, so I am still not to sure as to who ?? Thanks Girls, Wendy R
