Thank you Jen, that's fantastic. Hopefully I can now take the family back into the mists of time - near to Adam?!!

From FreeBMD I have
Marriages Jun 1860
Berry Edward Halifax 9a 515
Bailey Martha Halifax 9a 515

From the 1871 census Martha has children
Alfred 1862
Fred 1866
Anne Elizabeth 1868

The census gives Martha's age as c.1837 but I do not know her place of birth. Neither FreeBMD or IGI are putting up any likely candidates so I wondered whether she might show up in the 1851 census please?

Many thanks,
Frances
