Member Since: January 2003 Posts: 38 Send Message	Trying to find ancestors of my great x 3 grandfather William France, wheelwright, born about 1796 in or near Cowick, Yorkshire, married Ann Hanby 1815-ish. IGI has a William France born about 1801 in Cowick, but if that is the one who married Ann Hanby in 1815 he was married at about 14, which seems unlikely to say the least! Their children were John 1821 and William 1824.John married Elizabeth Hardy in 1846 and their son William's son Joseph was my grandfather, born 1878. Can anyone shed further light on this please? I'm a bit stuck! Jenny
